I’m grateful for this new day. I haven’t seen it before.

“If you can’t feed a hundred people, then feed just one.”

Buy a dozen sandwiches and pass them out to homeless folks in a busy area. Your act may very well start a domino effect of kindness.

Whether you believe in God, the Universe, or anything in between, take a moment and say a few words of prayer for someone in need of a bit of healing.

I give myself permission to speak up. I am worthy.
