Who needs a feel good, uplifting and encouraging story to help redeem some of 2020 for them? Reba Riley will send you, on a weekly basis, words of kindness and courage that will do JUST THAT. She believes in kindness as being the hard, put on your work boots, work of true love, and so it is in that spirit that she began a texting initiative to encourage people who were feeling overwhelmed. And not only does she remind us that BRAVE is a VERB, she also has extended her initiative into the lives of frontline health care workers, making sure they are reminded how courageous they really are on a daily basis.
