The other day, I called my cat—and he came running toward me with such joy, it made me laugh out loud. That simple moment—being chosen, being wanted—lit me up inside.

And it got me thinking…

Isn’t that what we all want?

When we show up—at a coffee shop, a meeting, the front door—there’s often a little part of us quietly asking, “Do you still like me? Are you happy I’m here?”

No matter how grown-up we are, no matter how close the relationship, that tender little hope lives in us.

So here’s a tiny practice that creates big ripples:
✨ Greet people like you’re genuinely thrilled to see them.
Smile. Light up. Say, “Hi! I’m so happy to see you!”
Give a hug (if it’s a hugging kind of friendship). Beam at them like your inner cat is purring with joy.

Watch how their face lights up in response.

It’s such a simple way to spread delight—and it reminds us we matter to each other.

I love you. And I’m happy to see you too. Yay.
Take good care,
Jane

P.S. If you try this little joy-spreading practice today, I’d love to hear how it goes. Reply and tell me. 💛
