Be Kind, Do Good, Share The Love Contest

"No action, no matter how small, is insignificant—how we treat someone defines how we treat everyone, including ourselves. If we disrespect another, we disrespect ourselves. If we are mistrustful of others, we are distrustful of ourselves. If we are cruel to another, we will be cruel to ourselves. If we can’t appreciate those around us, we won’t appreciate ourselves. With every person we engage, in everything we do, we must be kinder than expected, more generous than anticipated, more positive than we thought possible. Every moment in front of another human being is an opportunity to express our highest vales and to influence someone with our humanity. We can make the world better, one person at a time.

My commitment to kindness is to remember the wisdom above each and every time I have an interaction with someone, to share a little piece of kindness with them, to remind them of their greatness, and to remind them how truly powerful they are…and to also remember to share that kindness with myself. We are our harshest critics, which at times is good. It’s good to push ourselves, to challenge ourselves, to step out of our comfort zones, to grow, to learn…just remember to be kind to yourself along the way. The thoughts you think, and the words you speak have great power…we become what we think and write and speak. Be Mindful…Be Powerful…Be Great…Be Kind…Be Love. " (Quote by Robin Sharma)

Private Outfit first one is of a lady who decided to let her loved one rest while she wen't to do the shopping for them, and she decided to buy him a flower to show how much she cares for him,

Private Outfit this scene is of the boyfriend waking up to being surprised the flower and that his loved one did all the shopping, and also shows his love of his pets.

so I don't know about a story but in general a lot of people are always kind to me on here, they always comment me and ask how is my day and talk to me, I am trying to break out of my shell and all in all subetans are very kind people to always include everyone. Valiska is always so kind to me during events, always helping others. cheriuki always talking to me lol even though I ramble , all kind subetans who have held so many awesome contest/ events for us during the subeta holidays, just making it fun for us.

(i wanted to give them coordinating outfits while still capturing what they tend to wear irl. it works though because both their favourite colours are green. i associate the green-orange-yellow colour scheme with a sense of being comfortable and at home.)

as for people on subeta though... i've made some good friends here and i've talked about them before in various places, but the "wow" moments of kindness for me are when people are super generous. it's a petsite, it's a hobby as well as a community, so for people to give up all their progress in forms of cash or cws so others will be made happy i think is very kind. i'm specifically remembering the anonymous gifter/s who dropped 500 csc credit cards in dozen's of people's in trays.

also in general the community has been very welcoming; i've gotten no guff from anyone about being open as a system on here, and even made a few friends specifically because people were intrigued and wanted to ask about it, and we just got to talking. additionally my exective dysfunction makes me verrrrrrry slow about stuff sometimes, and people have always been kind about that.

"When she was walking through the field, the mists were walking with her. The air seemed lighter and her love for all things living was as immense as the force of nature itself. She was giving life that was returned in the form of purring, singing and barking...in the form and silent voice of nature children, who chose her as their protector. That was her, the Summer Maiden."

As for the people here on Subeta, really close, I am with ulalena. Saying that she is kind, is not enough, she is sun incarnated. I am really glad we are friends, especially that I am not that social.

For my pair, I chose to depict an African conservationists and an injured bird that she has rescued from poachers. I think their animal protection efforts are often taken for granted, especially, when you see all those poachers who hunt for fun with little regard for some species.

They battle not just poachers but also war stricken territories and many other tragedies doing what they love for the sake of animals. The work that they do to preserve the many iconic African wildlife is important for not just our viewing pleasure but also entire African ecosystems across the continent. Without them, there wouldn't be many lions, giraffes, rhinos, hippos, and so on. And that alone would be really sad and tragic.

They are the embodiment of doing good and kindness.

As for kinds souls on subeta... hmm... I'd have to say chookie, STAY, ulalena, and Country. It is kind of hard to say exactly, many people on subeta are kind and often do good things, especially those anonymous gifters. This community, despite some trying moments, often strives to be helpful to one another and kind above all else. All in all, it is nice to be here and enjoy the fun holidays and moments even when the site lags ☺

Outfit Not Found Love, plays music for others to give them joy. She strives to make the world a more beautiful place everyday.

Outfit Not Found Kindness, shows respect for all living creatures. She strives to ease the suffering of others.

Lately I've noticed many people doing birthday and leaving Subeta giveaways, and I really appreciate the kindness and generosity of these people. ❤️

My entry today is a sad one, but full of love <3 These two represent my grandparents. They loved each other so dearly. My grandfather was a US Submarine Sailor, and my grandmother a stay at home mother who raised 5 children. My grandfather passed away last October and today, 7/20, would have been his 88th birthday. Which gave me inspiration for this entry <3

But on a happier note, one person that shows me so much kindness and love is . She is such a wonderful human being and she is such a good friend to me <3 We can write each other books for responses and talk about the craziest things! I don't know what I would do without my sweet sistersaurus <3 <3 <3

Outfit Not Found She woke up really early to help set up and get ready for all the hungry people that would need to come by today for the only meal they'd get to eat that day.

She didn't have time to put on make up but the people she'll see today dont mind. They just love to see her smile at them and treat them like human beings. Unlike some of the people that pass them on the street every day. Other people look at them like they deserve to be homeless. That they are just taking up space and making the city look dirty and impoverished. She's a ray of sunshine in their darkness as they struggle from day to day just to stay healthy. Even though they only get to interact with her for about a minute each, it's a giant boost to their moral every time they get to come through her line in front of the soup kitchen.

Any time one of them manages to get a little money, they come by her shop and leave the money in her tip jar because they know she runs this free soup kitchen line for them out of her own pockets and what she can spare from her restaurants profits. [edit] Second entry: I'm not sure if this is allowed, so please let me know if you want me to remove it.. but: Outfit Not Found I attempted to make a HA that looks like 's style and using her favorite colors and things...

• Because she's one of the kindest people I've ever met and I know I'm not the only one that thinks so. She's nominated at least three times (probably more) for every Good Bean month there's been so far (3 of those I think...) and Every time I think to nominate her but since someone else already did, I usually put the second person that comes to mind. <3 And, case and point, the post above mine mentions how incredibly nice she is too. (I love that I don't have to think very hard to come up with someone to nominate. Subeta is amazing like that. We have so many wonderful people.)
• In the HA I made, I included some of the items that she created. The Kitty with wings is an item she does for people that have lost their kitties. She gets a photo from them and makes a commemorative item for them. These are not exclusive or hard to come by for the pet owner... it's such a touching thing for Subeta players to be able to have a personalized item like that! Her idea, as far as I know...
• One of her favorite colors is teal, so I chose to wear a dress that has that color. And the eyes she said matched teal so freakin well. (She is right.)
• The hair is rift inspired coloring
• the background I tried to make look like the break in the wall was revealing the rift... I used rift sparks... and you know cats, they love to look at strange things, so I used her cat on the books item to dress up the whole set up even more. :)
• then last but not least, I used the darkening foreground that creates less light everywhere in the room because I always imagine she's sitting in the mostly dark because the poor girl has daily migraines. [did this get creepy? I didn't mean for it to be creepy.. haha looks nervous I just know a lot about her because I love talking to her and catching up on things. She's so easy to talk to.]

These two have decided to help out their elderly neighbors with yard and garden chores! They are watering the lawn and flowers. Their dog is "helping" too.

It's something my husband and I did for some older not so able neighbors in our younger days (though not with a dog). It's nice to help others.

Helpful people in Subeta are everywhere! There's always someone willing to send extra items or help out with in game events. There's also all sorts of cases where people give big donations or random anonymous gifts. It's just one reason I love the Subeta community so much.
