Random Acts of Kindness
What inspires you? What excites you when you wake up in the morning?
For me, it's the ability to provide random acts of kindness. This fills my heart and helps me to keep moving forward. I've shared Steve Hartman's videos before, and I'd like to encourage you to take a few minutes and watch how an entire community was inspired to help one it its residents - truly a feel-good story!
