The past few days, or months or even the whole year, have hurt us all to a varying degree. Life has been known to do that. And when it does, we can choose to sit upon our bruises and rage about hate, disparity or loss or we can react with kindness to produce love, equality and a gain for us all. It starts with you and what is immediately around you. If we all made our little spaces even just a little bit better, the world would change in the biggest of ways.

Ohno is putting up his Christmas tree! Well, it’s really a bush, or maybe even a rock. It doesn’t matter to Ohno. He knows, no matter how big and grand or how odd and tiny your tree, the true spirit of this giving time rests not on any bough but deep within your heart. #Ohno #buffalo #Christmas #ChristmasTree #holiday #winter #love #spirit

The holidays are always so busy. It’s okay to take the time to take care of yourself. You can’t give your all if you’re not all there. #holidays #selfcare #nap #rest #busy
