Love & Kindness

A remembering and returning to Love.

This pillar is our foundation — The root of all wave-making.

The selfless act of using one’s time to make impactful change is, within itself, a loving act of kindness.

It is leading with compassion and choosing to do the internal work so that we can always find our way back to love. It is filling up our own cup, so that we have enough overflow to share with others.

How can we make generosity and connection as present as the air we breathe?

The War for Kindness

This book will not provide ten simple steps for how to be kinder today. It won’t promise that, despite appearances, people are essentially good after all. Humanity might naturally be 39 percent kind, or 71 percent kind, or somewhere in between. What matters is not where we begin, but where we can
