My journey through sharing personal topics on social media and learning one of life’s biggest lessons.
I have a tendency of pointing my iphone at my face and talking about everything. From silly things that I get a kick out of, to topics that carry some weight and tend to make some people feel a little uncomfortable. You may be thinking “why on earth would I want to do this?” So, let me dive right in.

I recently read something stating that on average, we smile 20 times a day. That’s 576,000 times in your lifetime if you’re on God’s green earth until you’re 80. Even more, a ‘happier’ person may smile closer to 50 times a day. 50! This got me thinking… what if by the simple act of being kinder to others, I could up someone’s smile quota?
My name is Kim. I am (almost 31 years old.) I like hiking, hanging with my fam, my dog, laughing until I pee a little and I have a confession to make. I am a recovering people pleaser.
