"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around." Leo Buscaglia

I'm grateful to Fiona Dowson, the former singing group leader at SHINE in West Bowling, for introducing me to the songs of Penny Stone. Click here to listen to (and learn) 'Give a Little Kindness' and here to view the music and lyrics. 

Writing prompts:

• Did someone offer a kind word to you today? If so, write about how it made you feel.
• When was the last time time you lent someone 'a listening ear'? Describe how it felt for you and the person confiding in you. 
• Has anyone given you 'an honest compliment' recently? If so, write about the experience. If not, write about what compliment you would like to hear and why.  
• Do you agree that small acts of kindness can 'turn a life around'? Has this been your experience? Write about it.
