I assumed she was just being kind\u2014until she suddenly quit without warning. When I checked her desk, I found a note on her monitor: <em>\u201cThings to do: make someone happy on Monday. Make someone feel seen.\u201d<\/em> I didn\u2019t understand why she chose me, but her quiet kindness stayed with me long after she left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weeks later, missing that small ritual, I brought coffee for our new intern, Sam. He was shy and withdrawn, but slowly, those Monday coffees opened a door. One day, he showed up with two cups\u2014his way of giving back. Soon, others joined in with cookies, notes, small gestures. Lidia\u2019s simple act had created a ripple of kindness across the whole office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Months later, I found Lidia\u2019s book in a store. She had written about her \u201cMonday Miracles,\u201d sharing how she chose people who seemed to carry heavy burdens. She even wrote about me\u2014the quiet coworker who never knew he was seen. Her words made me realize how deeply her kindness had shaped my life. Inspired, I continued the tradition wherever I went.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Years passed, and I learned just how far the ripple had spread\u2014like Sam telling me he survived dark times because of those Monday coffees. Kindness echoed from one person to another, sparking new rituals, new hope. And now, every Monday, I bring two coffees: one for me, one for someone who might need it. No explanations. No expectations. Just a small gesture that might change someone\u2019s day\u2014or their life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every Monday for a month, my coworker Lidia brought me coffee.
