Random Acts of Kindness


Random Acts of Kindness

I received a message through my Facebook page asking me if I could write a post about “Random Act of Kindness Day”. This year, that fell on February 17th, and had just passed when I got the message. With a little back and forth, I discovered that they were gleaning a little information as well as thinking it would be a good event for me to promote.

I have promoted Random Acts of Kindness Day(s) in previous years, however this year I decided to focus on 28 good deeds/acts of kindness for the whole month of February (See that blog here: https://jbsnonprofitconsulting.blogspot.com/2019/01/february-is-short-month-will-you-do.html ). I do not oppose the idea, in fact I love it and often promote and do myself, random acts of kindness.

I like the idea of highlighting the notion and act of random acts of kindness, and I think having a designated day does do an excellent job of bringing awareness to doing random acts of kindness. I am more of a believer of showing random acts of kindness whenever, wherever, for whomever you choose. All year ‘round.

So, for planning purposes, next year’s Random of Acts of Kindness Day is on February 17, 2020. Put it on your calendar and plan to do something good and kind, but use the 360 plus days in between to do some “kindness”, too!
