There are some parts of life that are self-evident. A smile is an expression that we can all feel. It makes the person smiling happy, and it makes us happy. It is one of the most powerful ways that we can feel positive. It doesn’t matter what kind of day we’re having; a smile will shift our energy, lighten our load, and create a ripple effect that spreads to others. It’s a reminder that no matter the challenges we face, we always have a choice in how we show up. It’s an act of grace, a signal to ourselves and the world that we are present and feeling good. A smile is contagious—it has the power to uplift everyone around us, making the world a little brighter, one smile at a time.

Loving life, every time I see a smile
