Dear friends,
We've all had this kind of day—for whatever reason, you're feeling "down." You're irritable, sad, distracted, or just plain grumpy.
And then someone you come into contact with—a coworker, your partner, a stranger at the grocery store—seems to see through all of that.
When this happens, it's almost like they see past all of the uncomfortable layers, all the way into your heart. They see the goodness in you.
It's refreshing. And it's liberating.
