“Because of your smile, you make life more beautiful.” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
S M I L E !!

…for no other reason than you can.

Do you know that person? You know the one…always has a smile on her face. Or maybe it’s that you see his smile get bigger as you approach.

In that instant, there’s a warmth. A warmth of connection, a feeling of goodness, a touch of love.

It’s such a small thing really. We don’t have to say anything, We don’t have to exert a whole lot of energy. We just have to shift a few facial muscles! And in that shift, life IS more beautiful. For those who cross our paths, and for ourselves. All from one simple little thing…a smile!

Try it right now!! Smile (or smile a little bigger, if you already are smiling)! Let that touch of beauty that comes from this simple act be a part of your being…now…in this moment.

Smile…because you can!

Join The Movement
There’s a new micromovement coming, and YOU are invited to join in!

What is a micromovement? A micromovement is YOU, doing an activity locally where you are, recording that activity, and then submitting the video to have it become part of something greater – with people from all over the world.

What: Smile Micromovement
Who: Everyone!
When: Videos being collected through June 26, 2010
Details: Create a short video of yourself (alone, with friends, with family, etc) smiling.
Ideas include:

• Smiling the whole time
• Facial expression going from more serious to smiling
• Smiles turning into laughter

Length: A short 5 – 10 second video.
Submission: To submit your video, click here.

NOTE: The Levity Project video, of everyone smiling together, will debut in July.

For a preview of what this will look like, check out our most recent micromovement from this spring – car dancing!
