“When the sweet ache of being alive, lodged between who you are and who you will be, is awakened, befriend this moment. It will guide you. Its sweetness is what holds you. Its ache is what moves you on.” -Mark Nepo

Being sweet in life is self nourishment. This nourishment not only enriches your experience but also enhances and adds to those around you. Sweetness and softness are signs of grace and growth. When faced with life’s challenges, attempt to not get wrapped up in the chaos, instead pivot and act with a state of ease. Add an element of sweetness to any situation. If someone you are interacting with is in a negative space, don’t add to the negativity, instead infuse a smile or a sweet gesture to try and create a positive shift. One sweet gesture can have ripple effects.

Behave in a way that can model for others what it means to be sweet. Sweetness is not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength and beauty. What if small shifts really started to make big changes? Act in a way that lets someone else know you care. Pass on sweetness. Act with grace. Plant seeds of love.
