What is done in love is well done so said Vincent Van Gogh and so says me. ❤
Do all that you can from a place of love, grace, compassion. Assume the best of people and just for a moment, try to see things from another perspective.
It is okay to assume that someone is having a rough time instead of assuming they are just an as***le. And sometimes they are just as***les, but that just gives your kindness an extra special twist.

Happy World Word Nerd Day! To celebrate, what is your favorite word?

Mine is actually "fernweh" which is German meaning to be homesick for a place you've never been.

One of my favorite phrases is Celtic *anam cara* and it means soul friend or kindred spirit.
