When the chaos and noise of the world really start to get to me, I look for love, for kindness, for those small words or gestures that often go unnoticed in the midst of so much craziness.

It's those small things, the random smile, kind word or moment of personal connection or encouragement for a friend or stranger that make my heart swell and give me hope for the future.

And always, I find a glorious, beautiful or uplifting piece of music, turn it up and stand in front of the speakers to let the music resonate in every cell of my body. There is nothing more healing.
