Make Someone Smile: Connection Lesson From A Grieving Orphan

August 11, 2015 by Elizabeth H. Cottrell

My friend Nancy Camden just posted this video on her Facebook page about a six-year-old orphan whose goal is to make as many people as possible smile. He connected with them one by one and gave them a simple, tiny toy, but the results were nothing short of a miracle. I dare you not to smile…
 

What can you do today to make someone smile? It’s a powerful way to connect.

    Smiling is opening up our hearts to welcome in the heart of another. The opening of hearts is an opening of the sweet sides of our souls. The side that sings PEACE, LOVE, BLESSINGS. I’ve never seen a bad result from smiling. Ever.
