Philanthropy Friday: Rainbows in My Clouds

jennifer · March 25, 2016 ·

“I’ve had so many rainbows in my clouds.”
Maya Angelou explains how she would have people who were kind to her with her when she went on a stage so she would never feel like she had no help.
While there may be a lot of clouds in life, there are always rainbows.
It’s been an emotional week for me. While all is good in my life, I am feeling some of the pain and uncertainty my friends are feeling. It’s the whole feeling life so fully that it brings you to tears thing again.
A friend posted this video in a secret Facebook group I belong to. It was a rainbow in a cloud after feeling the weight of acting as the rainbow for someone else.

Be a blessing to somebody today.
Be kind to yourself and others.
I can’t think of a more simple way to give.
