Day 9: 2017 A Not So Random Year of Kindness

Today we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. In honor of his great spirit and his devotion to civic duty and responsibility, Americans around the country are serving their communities all day today. Tonight I volunteer with a group of friends and local musicians at St. John's Hospice for Homeless Men in Center City, Philadelphia. A prefect day for our monthly Music Night. We bring karaoke, speakers for our musicians to plug into, and provide percussion instruments for anyone wanting to join along. It's a joyous noise and a great time.

So for your act of kindness today, I want you to think of how you can give back to your community. Think small. Think local. How can you find a way to share your good fortune? A donation of your TIME ishe most powerful act of kindness you can preform.  If you love animals, think of spending time with some love starved kittens and puppies at the ASPCA. Reach out to an elderly friend who may be lonely. Mentor a child that needs a caring adult in their lives. Give Blood. Become an organ donor.  Volunteer at a hospital or hospice. Cook for people in need (through a food bank or your church.) Share your unique skills with people who need them. Don't want to leave the house? Write to a US soldier and thank them for their service to our country.

There are so many ways to help!

If you would like to serve with your friends, family and neighbors, it's not too late! Search for an opportunity near you and get out there and serve!
