When I first wrote Life as a Daymaker, my goal was simple: to share the power of small acts of kindness and inspire people to see how they could positively impact the world—one interaction at a time. I never imagined how deeply this message would resonate. Over the years, I’ve heard from countless readers who have embraced the Daymaker philosophy, transforming their relationships, workplaces, and communities through intentional kindness and generosity.

As I present this 2nd Edition, I do so with an even greater appreciation for the power of Daymaking. In an era where we are more digitally connected than ever but often feel emotionally disconnected, the need for human connection and genuine kindness has never been more urgent. Making someone’s day with a warm smile, a heartfelt compliment, or a moment of undivided attention can shift perspectives, heal wounds, and create ripples of positivity that extend far beyond what we can see.

This updated Edition includes  fresh insights, new stories, and practical ways to bring the Daymaker spirit into your daily life. Whether you’re reading this book for the first time or revisiting it with a renewed sense of purpose, I invite you to join the growing movement of Daymakers. Let’s continue to change the world, one small act of kindness at a time.

Because at the end of the day, the world doesn’t change in grand, sweeping gestures – it changes when we choose to bring light to the lives of those around us.

Let’s make today, and every day, count.
