Yes!! So important - everyone is struggling. Kindness matters! And I believe it trickles down.

Kindness is medicine, no prescription needed. Holding the door, sharing a smile, giving a complement, or lending a hand. These small acts release feel-good hormones, lower stress and anxiety, and support other aspects of health. Be kind to humankind, it's the healthiest habit you can have.
