Kristen Bañaga believes that writing a book about kindness is one thing we all need to give and receive. Putting that into the world gives us hope, teaches us compassion, and allows us to grow a place in our hearts for love. It all starts with ourselves and the ability to show that being kind can go a long way. Once you start showing it, you'll start to see the world in a different light.
