50 GOOD DEEDS AND RESOLUTION IDEAS FOR A FULFILLING LIFE

50 GOOD DEEDS AND RESOLUTION IDEAS FOR A FULFILLING LIFE

Have you heard? In the past couple of years, the usual “lose weight” and “watch less TV” turned into “be kinder to others”, “eat less meat”, and “spend more time with friends and family”. 

Our priorities switched, and to be quite frank, we’re here for it. Uncertainty switched on our need for charity, bringing out the best of us – in a time where heavy energies seem to rule our world, human nature prevails…
