Whenever I see an opportunity for kindness I try to act on it to the best of my ability. One of my acts of kindness has been to be a positive, consistent, trustworthy, and supportive person in my best-friend/boyfriend’s life. He has been in jail for the past two years awaiting sentencing on drug trafficking charges. On Tuesday he was sentenced to 13 years in federal prison. For his sentencing I wrote a letter to his judge detailing his past and explaining what a truly unique and amazing person he is. I also got an opportunity to speak in court and bring some humanity to the situation, reminding the court that he is not just another defendant or case to come across the judges desk, but rather a person with endless potential who should not be characterized solely by the sum of his past mistakes. Even though we were hoping for a better outcome, it felt good for both of us to be able to stand up in court and speak our truth. Later that day he called me when he got back to prison and told me that he wanted me to know how much it meant to him that I came and spoke for him. He explained to me how much it meant to him to have me in his life as someone who is consistent and loving force. That throughout his entire life he has never experienced that type of support from anyone ….not with any his family or friends. He explained how much my positive attitude and support has helped him remain optimistic, motivated, and hold onto hope for his future. I didn’t do anything for him that I wouldn’t do for anyone else, which was to just show kindness and unconditional love for fellow a human. A lot of times I don’t get to see or know the impacts of my small gestures of kindness towards others, so it was really neat to be able to hear someone acknowledging what an impact, something so small and easy to do, had on their life. 💜💟🤍

I have been feeling physically drained for the last year, despite switching to a healthier diet and incorporating 1 hour nature hikes into my morning routine. One new incremental change that I have recently made is adding Methylene Blue to my morning Mango Dragonfuit drink. It’s only been a few days since I have made this change and I have really noticed a significant change in my energy level and overall physical health. 💜💟🤍
