" I loved what Never Say Diet blogger Leslie Goldman had to say, in my interview with her, about how she makes it her business to compliment one woman a day, be it a stranger or a friend. Will you take our happiness challenge and compliment one woman ... right now? **** Ever since I connected with Leslie, the art of complimenting has been on my mind. Truth be told, I love doling out compliments. It feels good to make others feel good, you know? But somewhere in the process of getting bogged down with work and kids, I&amp;#x27;ve developed a case of tunnel vision. You know, when you&amp;#x27;re out places you just look straight ahead, deal with the task at hand, and move on--no eye contact or smiles (at least not often). Time to change that, I think. Here&amp;#x27;s what Leslie had to say: &amp;quot;Compliment other women. This is my fave thing to do. Every day, I make a point of giving a random woman a compliment, whether it&amp;#x27;s telling the barista I love her braids or telling a woman at the bus stop next to me that her purse is really cute. It makes the other person smile and feel so happy, and that happiness reverberates back to you.&amp;quot; So, your challenge for today: Go compliment someone--maybe your boss, your co-worker, the office assistant who always throws out snarky comments--anyone! And, report back in the comments section. How did they react? How did it make you feel? What did you say? More happiness news from Vitamin G, here.
