I love what you said about giving being beneficial for both parities! I totally agree, it feels so good on our end to be of service to others! And I love your point about not needing to be kind using money, you can give of your time or energy too 🙂 Great post, Lis!
Amen sister! It feels so good when you can be in service to others. And no, it’s not only about giving money. That’s often a shallow way of excusing yourself from truly giving of yourself. The best way to give is to give of yourself
Hey Alicia- I especially like #18 “Make an effort to be more friendly and personable” and think it’s an excellent idea to do many of these things all year long. The world would be a much better place if we all tried a little harder to be kinder.
Hey Nancy! Thanks for reading and dropping me a line. I definitely agree that the world would be a much kinder place if we did in fact try to do more of these all year long.
