I started reading a chapter or 2 a day a year ago, and then put it down for awhile. I recently picked it back up and resumed my 1-2 chapters a day.

While many chapters have Christian leanings and I am not Christian, I loved the book. I loved the mindset it put me in at the beginning of each day. I loved many of the messages above all else, be kind.

Now I’m off to begin The Way of Gratitude.

Deeply affected. Kindness has been something I have been extra curious about this last year. I believe I have much to learn in this area but according to this book, it doesn't take much to do a lot.

Wonderful collection of stories and essays to read when you feel your heart harden just a tad. It will soften your heart back up and fill it with kindness to share.
