The Love Buzz

I know.  The little bee guy looks a bit goofy and you are probably thinking “Seriously?  You chose this as your blog mascot?”  Let me explain.

I found him in an industry publication a couple of years ago.   He was part of an ad for something I now cannot remember (effective advertising?  Maybe.  I’m sure I’m breaking all kinds of copyright laws by posting him here, though).   Anyway, he's kind of cute and I LOVED the tagline which was “Get Your Love Buzz On”.  (Ah – maybe the ad was for public transportation.  See…it was good advertising!)  So, I cut this little dude out and taped him to my home office wall because to me, he is a simple reminder to be kind..."buzz" around people offering more love, more kindness, more understanding.

I fail a lot of the time.

But I try every day, too.

Since embracing my goofy love buddy, I have been reminded of another great truth which has blossomed into my blogging idea.

We find what we seek. 

And I want to find and have more kindness and more love and more positive experiences in my world. 

Sometimes it’s difficult to find the positive through all of the negative and fear and commotion that we read and hear about constantly.

But truly, it exists.  And when we watch for it, we will find that it is abundantly prevalent.

This is why my blog is going to be dedicated to Acts of Kindness.  People are good and I want to keep a watchful eye out in my daily world to seek the good happening around me.  And I want to share what I find because I believe we are all enriched when we see and experience expressions of kindness.


So, here's to the love and here's to the Buzz!  Now, go get YOUR love buzz on!
