Weekly Newsletter – 11/20/2024

Words of affirmation and gratitude speak really loudly to some, while actions speak louder than words for others. I hope that you were able to convey your gratitude in the letters you wrote last week.

The challenge this week is to put your words into action, and do something kind for someone. This could be a simple act of kindness like doing the dishes for your spouse, or a bigger act of service such as spending an evening volunteering at the food bank after work. Whatever you choose to do, let your actions speak for themselves.

Cheers,
Catherine Tro
