Girls, Hugs and Kindness

"I have learned that there is more power in a good strong hug than in a thousand meaningful words."
― Ann Hood

So much is written and said about "mean girls" and I certainly see enough of it, so I am thrilled when I see the opposite.  This evening as we were leaving a school event, two girls called out my daughter's name.  She ran to where they were and they gave her big goodbye hugs.  My daughter was new at the school just nine months ago and now she feels very much at home there.  She has developed great friendships with several girls at the school and I know that kindness is at the heart of those relationships.
