Leave every place you go, everything you touch, a little better for having been there

“Leave every place you go, everything you touch, a little better for having been there.”

Julie Andrews — who played Mary Poppins — reminds us of the quiet power of intentional living.

Improvement doesn’t always require grand gestures. Often, it’s the small choices — picking up something left behind, offering a smile, sharing encouragement — that helps the world feel lighter.

Each interaction is a chance to plant seeds of kindness, respect, or care that ripple beyond us.

What if every day became an opportunity to uplift the spaces and souls we encounter?

The true measure of a life well lived may not be wealth or accolades, but the trail of goodness we leave behind.

Where in your life can you contribute your own spoon full of sugar to make the world better and brighter for having been there?
