Compassion's Cure "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. There is no such thing as a "small" act of kindness. You may never know how deeply a kind word or a warm smile can touch someone's heart. In offering compassion to others, you also remind yourself of the need to be gentle with your own soul. The same kindness you extend to others, you deserve too. By embracing compassion, you create ripples of connection, understanding, and healing, reminding both yourself and those around you that they are not alone.
