And I got love, kindness and even some gifts myself. I wish I could remember even a small fraction of what I gave, but I do remember everything that I received. My favorite moment was getting a thank you yesterday from the parent of one of my assistants. She told me that I was teaching the kids much more than just dance and that she appreciated everything that I've done for her daughter. It was so touching I didn't even know what to say.
It's not just about fun surprises for friends, donating money and volunteering time, but about putting love and kindness first. Giving presents is totally fun but knowing I've made a difference is what gives me the most happiness.
