Once a year, Sara Yahia walks through New York City carrying roses, not for a cause or a holiday, but to see strangers smile.
In parks, on the subway, in line at a coffee shop, she offers each woman a flower. Attached is a handwritten note: “You are seen. You are enough. Keep going.”
Reactions vary. Some people smile. Others cry. One woman, after a long pause, whispered, “I needed this today more than you’ll ever know.”
Kindness really is happening everywhere if we just keep a look out for it.
