We often think of kindness as something grand—a heroic gesture, an elaborate gift, or a big moment that makes the world stop. But in reality, the most profound kindness often comes softly. It doesn’t announce itself. It doesn’t need applause. It shows up in the friend who checks in when you’ve gone quiet. The colleagueContinue reading “The Whisper That Changes Everything”

We live in a world that constantly tells us what we should be happy about—a promotion, a new relationship, a shiny possession, or even the perfect Instagrammable moment.

Appreciating What You Have
This image takes me back to my first visit to a Jesuit mission station, a village in the Palghar district of Maharashtra.
