In today’s Snippet of Good, we’re talking about the quiet power of a handwritten note… and how something so small can mean more than you ever realize.
It doesn’t cost anything. You don’t need special skills. You don’t even have to leave your house.
All it takes is a few words—written with intention.
I know mother-in-law stories don’t always come with a happy ending, and if that’s been your experience, I’m really sorry. That can be hard. But sometimes, you get lucky. Sometimes you meet someone who serves quietly, loves fiercely, and shows up in a hundred small ways that change everything. This is a story about that kind of good—the kind that doesn’t make noise, but somehow holds a whole family together.
This episode of Snippets of Good tells the story of women who lost their husbands to tiger attacks and were left not only with grief, but with stigma. Instead of turning away from the forest, these women chose a different path—working alongside conservationists to restore mangrove ecosystems that protect both villages and wildlife.
This is a story about resilience, dignity, and how small acts—like planting a tree—can become powerfu...
Today I have two short stories to share. First, a group of friends got together to make taco soup kits for families in need. The second is a tribute to a classmate who recently passed away. It's about the dreaded ninth-grade gym class. I share how he helped me through a difficult time.
This month’s service challenge is simple—but powerful.
Donate to a thrift store.
Not as an afterthought. Not as a clean-out rush.
But as an intentional act of service.
Because the things we no longer need can become exactly what someone else is looking for. And sometimes, doing good begins when we choose to let go.

In the summer of 1948, a young pilot noticed a group of children watching planes land in a struggling, divided city. What followed was a small promise, a creative idea, and a reminder that kindness—no matter how simple—can lift spirits and leave a lasting legacy. This episode explores how one small act became a symbol of hope, and why little things still matter today. T...
Sometimes, doing good doesn’t mean having the right words—it means being present. In today’s episode of Snippets of Good, I share the heartwarming story of the Grandma Stand, where volunteer grandmas offer a listening ear to strangers who need connection, comfort, or simply someone to hear them out. This simple idea reminds us of the wisdom of our elders and the healing power of being truly heard.

Today, I want to talk about something many of us deal with regularly: healthcare visits. More specifically, the people who work in healthcare—receptionists, nurses, doctors—the ones who can make or break our experience. I had a checkup this week that reminded me of this. Let's celebrate the good ones, the helpers among us who made a big difference in our lives. They're the folks who help us stay healthy and steady in a world that c...
It takes courage to receive help. Letting others support us is just as important as offering help ourselves. This episode is inspired by Brené Brown’s The Gifts of Imperfection. We dive into the hidden emotional armor we carry, the shame behind self-sufficiency, and how refusing help can quietly weaken our relationships.
Today, I'll invite you to embrace vulnerability, deepen connec...
This week, we’re looking back at the life of Florence Nightingale — the Lady with the Lamp — whose courage and compassion reshaped what it means to serve. From dark war hospitals to the birth of modern nursing, her story is a poignant reminder that one light can truly change the world.

From using her babysitting money to take us swimming, to helping me pay off debt, to caring for our parents for years—she’s given more than I can ever repay. This episode is a thank-you to her and a remind...
It’s easy to say, ‘I’d help if I could.’ But sometimes, the chance to help is right in front of us — small, simple, and possible. In this episode, I share a story about a $25 copay, a quiet decision, and the reminder that kindness doesn’t have to be big to matter. Sometimes, the good we can do is right within reach.
