Starting 2021 with Kindness

Beth Ann Chiles/ Books/ 8 Comments/ 394

I was just telling someone the other day that it does not take much to be kind. It really doesn’t. I was raised to be kind. Of course I am far from perfect and have my days of unkindness and snarkiness but I am trying Continue reading →
