Thought for Today:


"Show kindness whenever possible. Show it to the people in front of you, the people coming up behind you, and the people with whom you are running neck and neck. It will vastly improve the quality of your own life, the lives of others, and the state of the world."

And more Ethnic influence from other cultures:



 
Marcela (KD contributor from Argentina) - also sent this cool link below:



it seems Aztec/Inca , Egipcian, Tibetan looks are strong.
