Welcome to Create Goodness

March 10, 2026 - My how time flies! Here we are in March, moving forward through the first quarter of the year.

How have things been for you so far? Do you feel like you have accomplished what you wanted to do, made progress on some projects, or connected with important people in your life?

Don't worry if things have gone the way you planned. Life happens. Just keep taking one step after the other and all will be well.

For the next couple of months, we will delve into the idea of creating goodness. If that feels overwhelming, stay with me through this newsletter and video. Creating goodness definitely can include big events or interactions, but more often than not, it is in the simple actions we take each day.

Consider the following steps you can do right now or in the near future.

1. Smile at the cashier next time you go to the store. Their work is often thankless.
2. The next time you see a neighbor, friend, or family member, call them by name. Everyone loves to hear their name said out loud.
3. Then as you visit, make reference to something they recently shared with you. Let them know you care about what is going on in their life.
4. If someone's name pops into your mind, take five seconds to send them a quick text. It doesn't have to be anything big - just reach out to let them know you're thinking about them,
5. And finally, give yourself grace if you didn't do all these things right away. We're all a work in progress.

Over the next several weeks, we'll explore other options for creating goodness. While there is so much that is out of control, there is still much we can do to bring light, hope, and hope to those around us. I hope you'll join me on this journey.

​

So until next time, always keep your eye on the One that loves you most. Ciao!
