What if the best thing you ever did... was something you barely noticed at the time?

This week’s quote reminds us that the most meaningful moments often come quietly —

a kind word, a listening ear, a simple encouragement. These small acts have the power 

to brighten someone’s journey (aren't we all on one?) in ways we may never fully realize. 

"And, you will learn in the end, that your greatest impact 

came from the smallest of gestures.  From enhancing, even in some small way, 

the journey of those around you. And that, my friend, is the reason why you are here".

Tom Greene

Small gestures whisper, ripples grace another’s path ~ this is why we’re here.

 Ever just feel like a plastic bag, drifting around with no real direction? Or feel so paper thin like a house of cards and just one blow to cave you in? This week’s quote(s) showcases some lyrics from Katie Perry’s pop anthem song, Firework! May these lyrics serve as a reminder that no matter what challenges are faced, that inner spark is always there ~ just waiting for it to shine.

 What if the greatest strengths you possess are the ones you've overlooked the most? Sometimes it takes a gentle voice from childhood to remind us of the quiet power we carry every day. 

By the way, it makes a good mantra!
