THE ONE SMALL THING NEWSLETTER
Have you heard of The Parlay Effect?
After founding Parlay House, Anne Devereux-Mills began to notice something remarkable happening. When one woman offered a small act of kindness, empathy, generosity, or encouragement, the woman who received it often passed it forward to someone else who then did the same. These simple moments created powerful chains of connection.
That ripple is what Anne calls The Parlay Effect, and The One Small Thing Newsletter is our way of continuing it. Each month, you’ll get a thoughtful boost, directly from Anne, designed to spark inspiration, connection, and of course…your own small cascade.
