Why are these men smiling? (photo above) Here we are last summer, having a great time posing for publicity photos. Left to right: Ken Plourde, Gary Milliken, Andy Norblin, me, and Steve Apple. Thank you to my friend Jeanine Brown for the terrific pictures that afternoon.

Please remember this: Smiling improves everything. This tip is simple, easy, and VERY powerful.

Somehow we already know that smiling is a wonderful asset for living well, and for taking care of business, too. But do you know WHY smiling is contagious? It's still a mystery to me, and my research continues. Frequently I spend time just smiling at everyone I meet. I watch them smile back, then people THEY meet start smiling too, and bingo! Everyone around us is not only wearing a dazzling grin, but is happier than we were a moment earlier. I don't know why it happens, but I love it!
