Your Place to find care resources & inspiration for every occasion.
Welcome to HomeMadeville.
In a world where bad news and bad moods abound, starting small can change it all!
A well-timed visit, a bouquet of flowers, a hand-written note, or an unexpected compliment—these are just a few examples of small gestures that can change the course of an ordinary day.
Encouragement is defined as “the act of giving HOPE or CONFIDENCE.”
Have you ever considered you have that kind of power within you? It’s like being a superhero in plain clothes!
One small gesture can brighten someone’s day, give them the courage to keep going, or help them realize their potential. We all have a desire to do something great in the world, but sometimes the greatest acts are the smallest.
So follow along, and let’s create a life worth living!

If encouraging others makes you a plain-clothes superhero, then my superhero name would be Procrastinator Fear Girl. I might not be the most accomplished superhero, but I would conquer “what ifs” and busyness by making things simple and choosing progress over perfection.
