 Editor’s note: Over 1000 people are currently participating in the 21-Day KindSpring Inclusion Challenge to help them reflect on their daily routine from a "differently-abled" vantage point. One participant shares: "I believe, the more I can stand in someone else’s shoes, the more I can grow my humanity." Here are some more short heart-warming reflections from the participants. |
