A little one bought me coffee today. He couldn’t have been more than 4 years of age, as he sat eating donuts with his Mommy.

He peeked first from behind the chair, his hair tussled and messed from a night full of dreams.

His mother had left the change from her purchase at the center of the table. And, as he nibbled upon his breakfast treat – I could see those wheels of kindness beginning to turn.

I made my way to the counter, ordering my favorite – a medium “hot” with cream and two sugars. And, as I stood there patiently waiting he smiled – leaping up with sudden purpose restored.

And then with all the good manners in the world, he walked over, reaching up upon tiptoe to plunk the change on the counter.

“Is that for me?” I asked. With sleepy eyes, he nodded.

“May I give you a hug for your kindness,” I asked, lowering down to his toddler height. Without hesitation, he gave me a squeeze – and then disappeared back to his Momma.

I was so moved by his kindness, I had to share – as, it further reinforced my belief that love is something we’re born with, not learned.

A little story to begin your day, my loves ~ and a reminder to let the energy of your manifest undeterred.

Namaste ❤️
