This past holiday season I had the opportunity to partner with Dunkin’ Donuts on a special campaign all about spreading JOY. I’m all about spreading JOY during the holidays, so this was truly the perfect fit for me. Have you ever wondered Where to Find Joy? It’s something that we all have the capacity and ability to do and to feel. But once you have it – do you spread joy, too?
