When I experience kindness, it makes me happy. Kindness is the carrier of a many gifts – coming in the form of a compliment, a helping hand, a smile or a word of encouragement. Kindness can shift the mood or be the start of a new beginning. Have you ever had a bad day and a waitress bought you a free dessert? Or a random person is kind to you for no reason? Those acts of kindness can soften your heart, lift your spirit and make everything okay. More doses of kindness make you feel like you are surrounded by goodness and that goodness infects you and those around you. I encourage you to be kind. To move into the kind zone, start by being kind to yourself. Then be kind to those closest to you. And once you’ve mastered that, extend that kindness to a stranger. As we all raise our kindness game we will help to create a kinder world.

"Remember there's no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end." -Scott Adams
