To someone you are a bright spot just by being alive. An authentic brilliant color in a world full of dull illusions.
Remind yourself of the light within you. Treat yourself to some brightness. Soak up a little sun on a daily walk. Look for bright colors, make it like the kids game we played, “I spy something blue!”
Get some food coloring and bake a batch of colorful cupcakes. Baking isn’t your thing? No worries, buy some cupcakes at your local bakery, get a bottle of sprinkles, overload the frosting with color.
Share the sweetness. Invite someone to walk in the sun with you (the “I spy” game is more fun with two). Give a colorful cupcake to someone you run across during the day.
Practice kindness on purpose. Start with yourself. Fill your cup up and let it overflow to others.
