Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness. ~ Dalai Lama XIV
So for our children, for our families, and for you, we UUs practice spreading kindness. The question of the day is
How do you UU?
Don't be shy! Sharing the ways we spread love and kindness is encouraging for us all. Post your answers on the hallway bulletin board this week, or reply to this email, and we will post your answer for you.
Hey UUCMC, our kids want to know “How do you UU?”
National Random Acts of Kindness Day is Monday, February 17
th
. Our children and youth have been using UU as a verb this year and are asking us all to refl
ect on how we UU. Our second UU Principle: justice, equity and compassion in human relations, or as the kids say, "be kind in all you do," is one way to practice Unitarian Universalism. Some of you have already shared how you are being "world changers" just like our kids. Check out these answers posted on
our bulletin board so far:
- I tried to get a crying student the services they needed.
- I bought an employee a bed because hers was damaged by water.
- I listened to someone's story.
- I donated to organizations that help displaced people and animals in Australia.
- I took care of my mom.
- I took an older UU to lunch at a restaurant to get to know them better.
- My child reminded me to always look for the positive in every situation, a virtue we try and practice everyday.
- I started the process of being a foster parent.
- We gave food to the birds in the neighborhood.
