Day 28: A Not So Random Year of Kindness

We all have friends we know are  hurting, people who think they have to suffer alone, they don't know how to ask for help. Maybe they're having a hard time. They might be lonely, overwhelmed, sad, angry and isolated, depressed or confused.

Today's act of kindness is to bring those people in your life some comfort. Tell a friend or family member (that you know is sad) that they are not alone. Reach out to someone in pain and connect with them. Reach out and say "Hi, I've noticed you've been down, I want you to know I care and I'm here for you." Then ask them if they need to talk. Have a cup of coffee or tea. Sit and give yourself to a human being in need. It won't take long, a half hour at most, and it will make a big difference. You'll both walk away feeling better. Nothing beats a win/win scenario. Go to it, Reiki Babies! Spread the nice. Spread the caring. Spread the love ❤️ and look out for your friends in need.  If you or anyone you know is struggling and needs help, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention can be reached at 800-273-8255, 24 hours a day.

Love you guys 😘

Day 26: 2017 A Not So Random Year of Kindness

  

"spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier." -Mother Theresa I love this so much! One of my favorite sayings ever. And one of my favorite people ever. We've all heard the old saying "Find a penny. Pick it up, and all day long you have good luck." right? Several years ago, I was walking with an elderly friend and spied a penny. As I bent down to pick it up, he told me that he never picked up pennies because he felt he had so much good luck already, it was his habit to leave them behind for other people who really need the luck. From that day forward, I stopped picking up pennies and I started leaving pennies behind.
This week's act of kindness is to find ways to "leave pennies."  You don't physically have to leave money behind, that's not the point. The point is to share some of your good fortune. No matter how little you have, there is always always always someone who has less. Find a way to give. Not until it hurts. Not until you have no more. Give until your heart feels warm and YOU feel better. Lighter. Happier. Take a moment to take stock of all you have. Count those blessings. Be grateful for what you have. Share with those who have less. Sometimes all you need to share is a smile to make someone else's day exponentially richer.Share the love and spread the happy, darlings. Be lucky with me.Tell us how it went. How did people react/respond?  Use the hashtags
