Small, Beautiful Things

By nature, I'm truly a sentimental person. Some of my most treasured items are the little things I have collected as gifts along my walk of life.

These small gestures mean more to me than anyone can truly understand. They were random acts of kindness bestowed to me that I hold dear. I keep these gifts in sight, because it helps remind me that there are good people in the world.

Last Saturday, we had three friends that drove at least 5 hours to come to the raffle Nick and I threw. All proceeds went to Houston charities. These friends did not have to travel as far as they did. The point is, they did. Because they care about the community and the greater good. They care about donating to Texans who lost everything.

Surrounding myself with people and their companies who are truly generous, kind and who believe in making a difference in humanity is what keeps me going. It's their small acts of random kindness that I witness that truly take my breath.

There's too much hatred and negativity that surround all of us daily and it's these little things of hope that make me smile and give me faith that there are still good people in the world. Surround yourself with these people. They are the visionaries, the dreamers, the risk takers, the successful ones, the ones with beautiful hearts and minds.
