Happy New Year! I know…I know…I am a bit late. The end of
the year/beginning of the new year was a rough one, so I am going to start my
2020 in February!
I have posted about this in previous February blogs, but
Random Acts of Kindness Week is only days away. February 11th through February
17th is RAKW. February 17 is also celebrated as Random Act of Kindness
Day, so whether you plan on doing good deeds the whole week or on the final
day, it all works!
What can you do?
-Text a friend or
relative and say hello, ask how they are doing, ask if they need anything.
-Sign up for a
volunteer opportunity.
-Share an
organization that you have helped or that has helped you on your social media.
-Link your
shopping to a cause. Example: Amazon Smiles. https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=202035970
-Donate Blood.
-Leave a kind or
uplifting comment on someone’s social media.
-Text REDCROSS to 90999 to give $10 to
donate to Disaster Relief.
-In the McDonald’s or Starbucks line? Pay for the folks behind
you.
-Shop locally and spread the word of your favorite local
business on social media.
-Tip a little extra: your server, your nail tech, your valet…
-Pick up litter.
-Leave your change behind in the vending machine.
-Allow the person in back of you to go ahead of you in line.
-Smile at a stranger.
There are so many ways to spread kindness…even a small
effort, a smile, is kindness. Spread it.
