• Leaving her middle school teaching job to start a kindness non-profit

• When you understand your own value, you’ll be able to see the value in others. It’s easy to be kind to others, but you have to love yourself too. You can’t give it outward until you can inward.
• There are no superfluous people in the world. If you’re here, there’s something only you can do.
• Kindness is small shifts. Get inspired and make a small shift. Then, you can take ownership of kindness in your life.
