Here is my story today:
It was mid-July and at the time Nancy, and I were living in Southern Oregon. One very hot day we were in Medford doing some errands. As we walked back to our car, we passed a veteran in a wheelchair going the opposite direction in the crosswalk. He seemed like a good and honorable man, so I smiled at him. Almost immediately he spun his wheelchair around and said to Nancy, “Your dog just smiled at me.”
Nancy laughed and said, “My dog likes to smile at people he admires. So, if he smiled at you, he obviously thinks you are a quality human being.” “How can he know that? He has never meet me before”, asked the veteran. Nancy continued, “Well it is obvious that you gave time to fight for this country and sometimes that is all Alex needs to know to admire you.”
At this point the man in the wheelchair became emotional saying he wished more people were like me. He wished more people could see the goodness in others instead of making them wrong or dismissing them.
I think we stood on the corner talking for about 20 minutes, before he said he needed to go. Then before he left, he said he really appreciated the conversation because he felt more seen, appreciated, and valued.
Do you ever find yourself smiling at certain people because you can feel their goodness and kindness? Or do you just keep your head down and disengage from others when you are out in the world? We always have a choice to add to the goodness of life or subtract from the goodness of life. Which do you choose?
If you would like some help learning how to add more goodness to your daily life,
I suggest you explore the I Create What I Believe (ICWIB) program where my friend Luke will demonstrate the ICWIB activities and/or attend the FREE Drawing in the Now classes that are taught by Nancy Marie over Zoom the first and third Monday of the month from 4:30 pm-5:00 pm PST.

In a recent interview Dr. Bruce Lipton said, “…Freedom is the ability to create without the limitation of generational programming. The I Create What I Believe! (ICWIB!) Program is a gateway and a pathway into a new and better future because it allows children and (adults) to fully express themselves and to not be limited by the beliefs that have been passed down from generation to generation. This program also frees up children’s and (adults’) minds and allows their creative nature to create a better world for all of us, which is what we need right now!”
