We live in a world where it is sometimes hard to see the goodness of life, people, and our world. Small acts of kindness can lift our hearts and spirits. Be the good. Be the change. Send a card to a neighbor, hold a door for another person, offer to return someone’s cart at the grocery store, and the list could go on and on. Simple acts of kindness that don’t cost a cent can truly change the world exponentially.
