“A woman came to my beauty salon in tears. Her son’s wedding was in a few hours, and she only had $12. She said, ‘I don’t want to embarrass him with my looks…’ I sat her down, did her hair and very nice makeup, I didn’t take money. Next day, I went to work and, to my shock, my entire salon was filled with flowers, thank-you notes, and gift cards from her family.
Her son had found out what I did. He said, ‘You gave my mother confidence on the most important day of my life. That gift is priceless.’
I stood there with tears in my eyes, realizing that kindness never goes unnoticed. What we give freely has a way of coming back tenfold.”
