15. Small Acts - BIG Impact
This week is all about small and simple! Kristy shares research and her personal philosophy that when we make the effort to do small and simple things, we can have a BIG impact on others and that will in turn make a difference in our own lives. She also offers three easy tools we can put into action right away to help us start making a difference in the world and reaping the joy that comes with small acts of goodness. Pinkie swear, they really are simple!
