    Binkle! · Binkle! · Binkle! · Binkle!

    Did you feel that? It’s a little jolt of energy from me to you. It’s physical. You can feel it recharging your battery.

    A binkle is a tiny (just barely felt) charge that occurs when two or more people really connect. It’s a zizz!—the smallest bit of energy we exchange with each other

    Whether the contact is brief or long, whether or not words are spoken, a binkle is the truest form of communication. Once it happens, it makes other types of communication more meaningful. A binkle is also the antidote for stress, since each tiny surge replaces the energy leaks that otherwise deplete us.

    Binkle Your Way through Life

    Each person you encounter, whether a nameless clerk or your spouse, could use a binkle. So could you. You can’t give a binkle without receiving one. Pause to connect—look the other person in the eye, say something kind or funny, and sincerely acknowledge them.

    Almost instantly, you sense a momentary connection, accompanied by a zap of energy. That’s all it takes to be a Binkle Ambassador. Enjoy the sensation, the other person, the energy, the moment, (which you can prolong indefinitely). Every binkle leaves goodwill in your wake, as well as adding a bounce in your step.

    You can binkle by yourself (like when you enjoy a sunset) or in a crowd. The important thing is to binkle—whenever and however possible. Share the experiences. For they bind us together in such a joyful way!
