Many years ago, I read Chicken Soup for the Soul by Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen. Earlier this year I was privileged to run a webinar for Jack Canfield, and in return for my time I requested an autographed copy of his book. It’s arrived, and I’m revisiting this old favourite, and enjoying it just as much on the second read through as I did on the first.
Intuitively pick a number between 1 and 9, and see which inspired quote is choosing you today. As a special treat, I’ve also included a Young Living oil blend to partner with your affirmation:
1. Spread love everywhere you go…
Be the living expression of God’s kindness;
kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes,
kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting.
