If this doesn’t bring a smile to your face I don’t know what will. Sometimes it’s the simplest things that pull at our heart.

And if we can pull this off, in this many countries (mine included–see the Bahamas at time mark 3:19), at the same time across the world, why can’t we just do a little more to help each other?

Some small gestures….

• smile (really smile) and say hello to a perfect stranger on the street today,
• complement someone on their attire today,
• write a love note to someone you love and stick it in their pocket to find later today,
• pay for the coffee of the next person in line today,
• say sorry today,
• let someone else win for a change today,
• spend time with your kid(s) — call them, play a game, c’mon you can think of something today,
• smile and hold the door open for somebody today,
• be pleasant to the person over the counter today
• give yourself a hug today.

ALL WE NEED IS LOVE.

p.s. the video above is a project by Starbucks to raise money for medicine for those living with HIV in Africa. They celebrated the generous donations of many by organizing a worldwide, all-at-the-same-time singing event…..ONE SONG, ONE WISH, 156 COUNTRIES. Lend your voice to the effort by going here.
