“Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time and start with the person nearest you.”

Mother Teresa

Wouldn’t you like to be called a joy spreader, spirit-lifter, or mood elevator?

It may be selfish but making other people happy feels good.  It’s the old pay it forward adage and it starts with just one person.

Instead of living in a world in which we make each other suffer why not try to make each other feel good.
