This past weekend I attended a women’s conference, during the conference we did a vision board session. As I was working on my vision board I saw a few things that reminded me of my smile. Often, I receive compliments on my smile, “you have a beautiful smile” or “your smile made my day.” With these compliments, I recognize that my smile can be a gift to others, it brings encouragement, happiness, hope, and often brightens people’s day.

Over the holiday break, I had the pleasure of watching the movie, Best Man Holiday. While the climax of the movie is rather sad, I love this movie. As I was watching it I learned something, the power of one! If you’ve never watched the movie, here’s a quick synopsis.
