Acts of Kindness
Happiness, Delivered
After staying up till 1am to complete Monday’s tasks (the book writing in particular), and then the book again last night till almost midnight, plus rising with the mister at 5:30am today, I’m pretty well beat. The core book writing is done and I’m whupped.
I’ve spent today catching up on the neglected clients and projects. It’s draining to feel behind on everything (though admittedly, it’s getting better). I decided to take a break and go get the mail—getting the mail is one of the great (small) pleasures of my life.
Imagine my excitement when I got a package! I love packages!
And then I opened the package!
Oh, now you know that’s going to be good!
Now I know you are all incredibly jealous… look at all that fudgy goodness!
A little back-story on the fudge: when I checked my email on Monday morning, I had a super-nice note from Reonne of Earth’s Sweet Pleasures. Over the weekend, she used my WordPress videos to learn to install her blog, appropriately named Chocolate Fudge Cafe (is your mouth watering yet?!).
She appreciated the videos and offered to send me some fudge. Now what sane woman would turn down that offer?!? Not this one! (Though I guess at this point my claim on sanity is a little tenuous…) I didn’t realize that Reonne was going to send me 16 pieces, though!
Honestly, even more than the fudge (which is fantastic, by the way… I kept it intact just long enough for the photos 
), I’m really touched that she went out of her way to do something so nice. After a very stressful few days, it’s like my soul just sighed with satisfaction.
Ahhhhhhhhh…
Don’t underestimate what your gestures of thoughtfulness can do for another person.

Ohhh… I am so jealous and in need of chocolate… thank goodness I have a secret stash!
If I send you chocolate will I get to be at the top of the list???
Or… maybe if I send less email… that will be an act of kindness.
Hi Sarah,
We’re glad you enjoyed the fudge! Getting packages is fun, isn’t it? Thanks for the beautiful photos. They’re better than the ones on our website! (We will be taking new ones when our new boxes arrive!) Our new boxes have a beautiful rainforest/fudge/burlap design and will be available in about a month. Look for them in stores everywhere! (We hope
