Nutella Spreads Joy!

Nutella’s “Spread the Happy” aims to inspire acts of sharing happiness everywhere and every day.  The series features four different stories following individuals who inspire others through their talents, joyful spirit, or by committing acts of kindness in their communities.  I found this one particular story particularly touching — three year old Brooklyn shared her birthday cupcakes with her local garbage man who she had become fascinated with.  She watched out the window for him and his truck every week and on her birthday, gave him a special treat.  Delvar, the garbage man, spread joy by honking and waving to her when he collected the garbage.  Their relationship is the cutest thing and just watching the video brought me joy!  You can watch it too!:

This is just one inspiring Spread the Joy video but there are others!  Be sure to check them out:

• Echosmith – The internationally known indie-pop band, comprised of four siblings, share their mission to spread love, joy and happiness through their music.
• Pay it Forward – Shares the inspirational story of Marty and Seon Burbank, who invest their money in the academic future of a kindergarten class.
• Boys with a Purpose – A local youth group that teaches the importance of looking good, feeling good and doing good. Founders Mr. Nelson and Mr. Joyner continue spreading the happy throughout their community by inspiring boys of today to be better men tomorrow.

I hope these videos inspire you to spread joy in the new year.  I know they’ve inspired me!  Sometimes just a small act can make a really big difference!  How do you plan to spread joy in 2017?  Let’s make the next year one filled with love and joy!
