MIND. BODY. SOUL.
Recently I wrote about something that meant more than a vacation to me - helping a puppy (6 months old) get surgery so it had a chance to walk and more-so get a chance to be adopted by a loving family. I donated the money and Pink - now known as Phoebe - is recovering ...
Written by contributing blogger, Daniela Forte. Kindness towards others is not a hard thing, it’s actually rather simple. Hold a door for someone, help someone with their groceries, buy someone a cup of coffee, read to child. All of these acts are acts of kindness.

Are you a "people pleaser"? The type of person who is always there for a friend or family member in "need"? The person who people vent to and lean on on a regular basis? Hey that's not a bad thing. It means you're reliable, people trust you, and know they can count on you. All wonderful ...
