It’s always a good time to “try a little kindness.”
If you want to start now, you don’t have to actually do 100 acts of kindness, although it’s possible to do 100 acts of kindness in a day if you really work at it! But the 100 Acts of Kindness Project is a great way to remind yourself to go out of your way to be kind.
Also, Random Acts of Kindness Week through the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation comes up in February. And, of course, February is “heart” month.

Love these Deb! I’m actually going to a project for Random Acts of Kindness with my preschoolers through a website that I found through you! I think it may be this same project. Thanks so much for sharing.
Deb says
Thanks, Betsy! I bet it is the one through Toddler Approved … so much fun! What a great project to do with your preschoolers (or with any age)! 🙂

This is a great article. I would love to join the conspiracy of kindness. Random kindness definitely leads to senseless acts of beauty, and that is what makes life so beautiful.
The picture messages are so wonderful and the video is an extra treat.
Thanks for sharing.

As someone passionate about kindness and encouragement (I call it sheltering) this post really spoke to me. So much content available here. Cleveland Armory said, “What the world needs is a new kind of army–an army of the kind.” I hope your post finds some new soldiers!
Deb says
Thanks so much, Pamela! The term “sheltering” is wonderful … and I love the quote! 🙂

‘A little thought and a little kindness are often worth more than a great deal of money.’
Nice article 🙂

Thanks, Chris! I totally agree about a little thought and kindness being worth more than money. 🙂
