2020 was a difficult year for so many of us all around the world. But even amid hardships, there is always beauty and kindness if we are willing to look. Our guest today, Sarah Coniglio of Project WonderFULL, has captured some of this beauty in her new photography book, There's Always Something WonderFULL: Small Wonders and Big Beauty from 2020, where she shares the beauty of her own neighborhood. Sarah is a social impact photographer and photographs beauty all across the globe. With the pandemic grinding travel to a halt, Sarah found herself at home for much longer than usual. In this episode, Sarah talks about the solace she found in all the beautiful things around her, and why she was so inspired to share it with others. Beauty plays a part in our healing, and Sarah reveals how it helped her. We also talk about her decision to partner with international non-profits and hear the story of the book’s beautiful cover photo. After the conversation with Sarah wraps up, I share findings from research about the power and benefits of smiling. Remember that kindness is a form of beauty too and you never know the impact you might have on someone if you are kind to them.
