Being Kind Takes Some Effort
I get a lot of credit that I simply don’t deserve. People approach me at church or the grocery store and say they love reading my column. But the truth is, it’s not my column. It’s the community’s column. If people didn’t share their stories of kindness with me, I would have nothing to write.
Kindness Helps Mother-to-Be
