| “The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention… A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the most well-intentioned words.” –Rachel Naomi Remen |

 âLast night was date night with my little girl. She wanted to conduct another kindness “special ops” mission for our evening. That afternoon, we made up some kindness envelopes, full of a smile cards, a few dollars and a special note. She decorated the outside of the envelopes with smiley stickers and the words “Open me, Iâm a gift for you!” She wanted to go to the mall and secretly place envelopes around to spread some Christmas smiles. When we dropped our first one and walked off without being seen, the look on her face was priceless. She was beaming and had a joyful kick in her step. I love how she loves our kindness missions! When we got home, she excitedly told her Mom all the things we had done and said we had the best date ever. I couldnât agree more!ââ makesomeonesmile

| “What are we here for if not to feel compassion and care for each other? That can be a real challenge in our world at times. Being mindful and helping those less fortunate is one way of connecting. In learning how to help others, I have found that I feel hope and love as well. Everyone wins!”–Behappy2 |
