I may have already shared the above photo, yet I think the sentiment is of utmost importance as we move through the busy holiday season and into a new year. 

While driving with my mother a few days ago we were talking about how it is we have no idea what is going on inside the houses we were passing. Never mind the fact those people had houses! They might be people who are hungry, angry, scared, or alone. They might be pregnant and tired or abused and scared. They might well be inside creating art or music, cooking fabulous treats for loved ones. The thing is we don't know. 

We don't know what others need. 

I'm hoping we''ll think to ask, listen, do something tiny to keep the ripples of hope going. It truly takes less energy to be positive than to be negative. And it carries so much more joy! To this I toast, make a wish, and ask you to do the same.
