Dear Yogis,

It is Sunday but I know that I wont have time in the morning to talk to you.  Resting in between bouts of activity I have been watching PRIME MINISTER.  I don’t know why I started watching, I wasn’t at all interested in Jacinta Ardern, but I found it to be gripping television.  Many times I was crying..  I just loved that she too was a cryer, a hugger and many times used the words “BE KIND”, ‘BE COMPASSIONATE” .  Which other Prime Ministers male or female have done that (except for Mr.Hawke but I was never quite sure if he was sincere)?  She was Prime Minister for a tiny 5 years, through pregnancy, through covid, through riots, through marriage…  she held her ground gently and remained kind and compassionate – a hard act to follow indeed.  She reminded us often through her life and work,  of the impact we each have as individuals.

She repeated and remembered for us that OPTIMISM IS TRUE MORAL COURAGE – it is a state of mind that motivates, that helps one to push through.  Optimism is HOPE.

Before I watched the program, I started this doll – BE KIND…  It was a message to me, and I hope it will be a message to you.  I will do more dolls with a message – a small thing making the dolls super meaningful to me.  Dolls in support of kindness, compassion, hope.
