Let's You See the "Great" in Everyday Activities

This is a darling book, that truly gives you many ideas on how to go just a little bit out of your way to make life better for someone (or in some cases, many others) else. It's a short book, but long on impact. If you're looking for a "rememberance" book for someone graduating, this would be perfect.

A gentle but powerful nudge

As stated in the preface, acts of kindness need not be elaberate or planned. This small book is a treasure trove of esperiences of kindness, given and received. Some are big, like a complete christmas provided for a family down on its luck. Some are small, like not hitting back. It is a reminder that we all have the capacity to reach out. I took this book to church with me, in case the services got too boring. I read it, my kids read it , and I have since reread it several times since. A gentle nudge towards becomming a kinder person.

beautiful reminder

This small book made an important difference in my life. Example after example of people being kind to each other penetrated and softened my pressured, irritated heart, and made me a better person. It reminded me of something crucially important, something I had forgotten. And how wonderful to be reminded. When I began to put kindness and love into practice, the world transformed from something dull and disappointing into something beautiful and sweet. This is a book about the most important thing in the world.
