Today is #GivingTuesday and if you have donated
to organization in the past you probably were bombarded with emails today to
donate. I know my phone has been beeping all morning.
Making a donation today is a wonderful way to kick off the Holiday Season with an act of kindness.
We know that it is better to give than to receive, however kindness
comes in many forms that don't cost money to do.
Noomii has started a #KindnessAdvent Calendar you can SUBSCRIBE to HERE. I started mine today! You will get suggestions for little acts of
kindness every day starting today December 1st. Today’s suggestion is to call a friend or
loved one you have not seen in a while.
Reach out and connect!
If you prefer to create your own, creating a Kindness Advent
Calendar is a great project to do with your kids tonight. It is easy. Take a blank calendar and write
down something you and your family can do for someone else each day up until
Christmas.
What a wonderful way to not only teach, but to model kindness and love to others as a priority during this Holiday Season!
There is no reason to not carry this habit into 2016. Keep track of small acts of kindness every
day. You can do that easily with the
Kick Ass Plan. The weekly planning page
has a reminder to jot down an act of kindness each and every day of the
year.
Looking for ideas, try the RandomActs of Kindness Foundation. They have
amazing resources and creative ways to increase your kindness to others.
Remember that “every act of
kindness benefits the giver as well as the receiver” – quote by Katrina Mayer.
