Reach Out and Touch Someone

Oprah.com   |   September 10, 2008
Dr. Robin Smith
After hearing an old friend had to have major surgery, Dr. Robin went to visit her in the hospital. Instead of praying for her aloud or having a long conversation, Dr. Robin sat quietly with her. "It was such a tender, sweet moment," Dr. Robin says. "When we don't know what to say, a lot of times, we shouldn't say anything."

Figure out who is it in your life that you can reach out and touch to make a difference. "By reaching out and sometimes just touching someone's hand, [that] is the thing that really offers healing that is far past what our words could ever do," she says.
