Loving Out Loud is a little book with a big message: you have the power to make a positive impact on someone's day, every day, and it isn't nearly as hard as you think. Robyn Spizman has spent her career finding ways to make others happy with gifts and actions. Observing how the smallest compliment or remark of appreciation can transform an awkward moment into one of connection and joy, she set out to find words and acts designed to let someone else know we are paying attention, we care, and we appreciate them. With LOL Snapshots and LOL daily suggestions in numerous categories, Loving Out Loud is poised to inspire a movement toward a kinder, more engaged community. In the tradition of Random Acts of Kindness and Pay It Forward, a book that will change lives one kind and simple gesture at a time
