With so much in the world today that you cannot control, the one thing you can control is your willingness to show someone kindness. It doesn’t take much either. For example a year ago this week I was honored to keynote a Nissan event in Vegas. I was able to share that it was a day of celebration because Frenchie had his last chemo treatment. They showed him so much love, it really lifted his spirits. Fast forward a year later. That same Nissan client asked me back to keynote with another topic that I offer. As I arrived at the event, I was stopped several times by people who saw me last year. The first thing they said was “How’s Frenchie?” I was very moved by the kindness in their hearts. They lifted MY spirits by remembering my speech and remembering my Frenchie. This also led to conversations about their own journey with their families. Such kindness doesn’t take much effort but has a huge impact.
Reach out to someone today to let them know you see them, you hear them, you care about them. It doesn’t take much to truly make it a front-row Friday for someone else.
Your Head Usher,

PS – Frenchie has a clean bill of health – so those prayers were answered!
