It's the season of giving, and my heart is filled with joy and the urge to spread kindness and joy to those around me. We have so many opportunities to spread kindness in our day to day comings and goings, but it's easy to let the rush of the holiday season leave us grumbling, forgetting what Christmas is all about. I'm not without sharing feelings of frustration or even disappointment, or feeling stressed, instead of peaceful, but the truth is, I have everything I've ever wanted, have accomplished many goals, and have so much love in my life that I can't help but smile when I think of these folks whom I love so dearly.

So, this season, MBP is proud to partner with one of our favorite brands, Buddy Fruits, in an effort to Share the Good with those around us. In a world that seems like it's filled with negativity, there is, a lot of good out there. More so now than ever before, people are catching on to Random Acts of Kindess, blessing people they've never met in amazing ways. Buddy Fruits has deemed this Spread the Good Month, and is encouraging everyone to spread a little sunshine and kindness this season.
