Aloha,

This week two of my themes have been compassion and acts of kindness. Recently I was introduced to Amma the hugging saint. I was deeply moved by the love she shows. She will spend up to 22 hours a day hugging and blessing people an amazing act in and of itself.

In her own words, ” As a child, I always wanted to know the cause of misery of mankind and thought that if sorrow is a truth, then there must be a cause and a way out. 

” I realize my purpose is to console – to personally wipe away tears through selfless love, compassion, and service.”

Here is a beautiful photo gallery with some of her quotes.


She is such a wonderful example of love in action. I would highly recommend watching the beginning of this video. Watching her bless and hug people deeply moved me, the rest of the video is about some of her charities.

Once again I invite you to do at least two random acts of kindness this week.

With love and aloha,
Susan
