“Too often we underestimate
the power of
a touch,
a smile,
a kind word,
a listening ear,
an honest compliment,
or the smallest act of caring,
all of which have the potential
to turn a life around.”
-Leo Buscaglia

May we each let our compassion be a candle in the night. 💙

I never realized just how huge a small act of kindness could be until my husband died and a random woman in the grocery store hugged me when she saw me crying. The love in that small moment was enough to give me the strength to finish the shopping and make it home before I broke down again ❤️
Thank you for sharing, Lori 💚 💙 💜
A perfect quote with a perfect message that we ALL need to hear and remind ourselves of…….sometimes the simplest things have the biggest impact. A smile can turn someone’s day around…….a tiny miracle! Happy weekend Phoebe…………. <3
