Kindness thought of the day… July is Disability Pride Month 💙♿
This month, we pause to celebrate and honor the strength, contributions, and voices of those living with disabilities.
But kindness is more than awareness — it’s action.
As able-bodied individuals, we can stand with the disability community by:
✅ Respecting disability-accessible parking spaces
✅ Leaving wheelchair entrances and door buttons for those who need them
✅ Advocating for ramps and accessibility in public spaces
✅ Listening, learning, and speaking up for inclusion
Too many buildings are still not fully accessible, and many in our community face daily obstacles most of us never notice. But together, we can help change that.
Let’s ban together to create a neighborhood that’s welcoming to all — where inclusion isn’t just a word, it’s a shared value.
🧡 Be patient.
🧡 Hold the door.
🧡 Ask how you can help.
🧡 Use your voice to promote access and equity.
Kindness is doing what you can with what you have — and it starts right here in our own community. Please share your thoughts in the comments.

When is the last time you initiated an act of kindness, and when is the last time you were the recipient of a kind deed?
