Tip of the Week – Celebrate Random Acts of Kindness Week!
This Monday, February 15th, marks the first day of Random Acts of Kindness week, a week designed to raise our awareness of generosity and encourage us to do nice things for others – not just for our family and friends. The idea is to “tap into our own generous human spirit and share kindness with one another,” while discovering “the power of kindness to effect positive change in our lives and the lives around us. When kindness is expressed, healthy relationships are created, community connections are nourished, and people are inspired to pass kindness on.”
What You Can Do
So what does this mean in our everyday lives? For me, it’s when I compliment the woman behind me in line at the market on her cute pocketbook out loud – instead of just thinking it! Or noticing, at that same market, that a shopper left an unneeded coupon resting on top of a product for someone else to use! It’s paying the toll for the car behind you or adding a nickel to an expired parking meter. A small and unexpected kindness can turn someone’s day around and be contagious!
Random Acts of Kindness Website
