One year ago, I started this little podcast called Snippets of Good. The idea was simple: look for the good in the world and share it. I didn’t know if anyone would listen, but I hoped that if I looked for good in the world, I'd find it. You know, find moments worth celebrating. After a year of stories, kindness, and everyday heroes, here are ten things I’ve learned while trying to find the good e...

You probably won’t remember what you ordered last week…but you will remember how someone made you feel. Today’s episode is about the people who carry plates, juggle chaos, and somehow still notice when someone needs kindness. We’re talking about waiters and waitresses…and the moments when they go beyond the menu.

Today I want to talk about something that sounds small… but feels huge when you’re already tired. I want to talk about rest without guilt. Not rest you have to earn. Not rest you schedule three weeks from now. But the kind of rest that says: “I’m allowed to pause even when things aren’t finished.” If you’re listening while folding laundry, driving carpool, hiding in the bathroom, or lying awake af...

One of my favorite ways to serve people is through food. Food nourishes the body, but more importantly, it nourishes connection. It communicates care without needing a lot of words.

Because your ripple of kindness mi...

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...

This is a story about resilience, dignity, and how small acts—like...
