A Day of Spreading Kindness
Airam Gomez, our MKRO August Grant Winner, shared how her day of spreading kindness for her 18th birthday went. I was so inspired by her letter, I could feel the joy she was spreading and it had me smiling and feeling good all day. I wanted to share her letter so you can feel the ripple, smile, and pass on that happiness to the people around you too.
A Beautiful Fable
A little something different. I read this and just had to share. It’s a wonderful fable, short and sweet but with a beautiful moral. I hope you enjoy it.

Savor the little things can also be thought of as the power of being present. Learn to appreciate and enjoy the everyday moments that make up the fabric of our lives. Significant events happen occasionally but the small ones happen from moment to moment. When you neglect the little things, you miss out on enjoying a large part of life.
