# 8 From Singer and Songwriter, Jewel

 "In the end only kindness matters." This song is entitled: Hands and is from her Spirit album. I read that Jewel and her mother lived out of their car for a year, while she was trying to get her singing career established. It is one of my favorite songs. And a sentiment that my dear mother taught me on her lap over 55 years ago. It is a sentiment that I try to live by every day of my life. Be Kind, Be Kind, Be Kind. Everyone we meet is having a hard time...sometimes more than we know.
