The impact of connecting with one another can be profound. Sharon Rainey illustrates the numerous ways our decisions and behaviors affect those around us. We do make a difference in others’ lives on a daily basis – by what we do and what we choose not to do. She shows us the miracles, big and small that happen as a result of our willingness to open up our hearts and share our journeys with each other.
