 Editor’s note: Social media has amplified the belief that one must “stand-out.” One must take extraordinary actions or have a broad reach to lead a purposeful life. We celebrate those who have big "social platforms", while not fully honoring those who do humble, quiet, deeply meaningful and “impactful” work — like caring for or loving just one person or one small place on this earth. Perhaps our feeling that we should make a big impact needs healing. In this newsletter, we continue to shine the light on small acts, that bring a quiet joy to the person in front of us. |

Kristin Pedemonti: Blower of Bubbles, Teller of Stories
Kristin Pedemonti’s simplicity of spirit and open heart illuminates all whom she meets. In talking about her “leap of faith” decision to pursue storytelling full-time, she says: “When you are on a path that is the right one for you whatever that path is this clarity will appear.” Kristin speaks from experience. Whether she’s blowing bubbles on a subway of tired souls, giving free hugs at a busy intersection, or speaking in schools, libraries, conferences and Forest Calls, her spirit is a flame that ignites the storyteller in each of us, and builds bridges of kinship. { read more }
