Kindness Matters

My friend ClickFlickCa shared a link on Twitter to this video that demonstrates how one small act of kindness sends ripples of good things through our world.

Kindness is a cornerstone in my life and in this business. I try to impart upon my kids the importance of small kindnesses; that it doesn't take a lot of money or time to make a good impression on our world.

Hold a door for someone with their hands full.
Donate some outgrown toys to a shelter. 
Buy a coffee for someone on the street.
Send an e-card to a friend.
Bake some cookies for a teacher.
Smile.


Every kindness you send out into our world will come back to you plenty, I promise. Kindness is something we will never run out of, as long as we keep sharing it.

I love hearing stories of kindness. Share 'em if you got 'em.

  1. Well I have a story but it's way too long for here. But because someone was beyond kind to me, it literally turned my life around.
