Kindness. Is it contagious?

You might remember a commercial by a financial company that showed people doing normal activities that make the day a little better, which inspires another onlooker to do a kind act which then inspires kindness to multiple strangers throughout the day.

For example, a Mom has a toddler in a stroller and the child drops her stuffed toy. A stranger picks it up to give it back and the spark of kindness makes the Mom do something nice later in the day…and someone else sees the Mom’s kind act which provokes another stranger to do something nice too.

It’s like a Kindness Domino Effect!

What if we lived each day with the purpose of making a difference in just one extra person’s life? Would it be contagious?

For the entire month of February, each day I am going to challenge you to do ONE FREE Random Act of Kindness. Some are super easy and some will force us to dig a little deeper into a place of sacrifice… but ALL of them will focus our perspective on FREE ways to spread love and kindness in our communities.

I’d love for you to join me! Here’s how to join my challenge:

  1. Comment below that you are “in” the challenge (we are always more successful when we publicly declare something!).
  2. Join my exclusive Share The Love Facebook Group!
  3. Each day at 9am I will post the day’s challenge. Comment what you think about the challenge or add a photo of you or your family doing one of our challenges.
  4. Share with others. As the month continues, share with friends and family that you are participating in spreading love and kindness and see if they want to join the fun too!

A few years ago we studied an American Poet named Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. I think he deserves quoting:

“Kind hearts are the gardens,
kind thoughts are the roots,
kind words are the flowers,
kind deeds are the fruits,
take care of your garden and keep out the weeds,
fill it with sunshine, kind words and kind deeds.”
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Let’s start right in, today!

DAY 1 Challenge:

To start this month of “Love” with Valentine’s day approaching I want you to do something special for someone YOU love. Reach out to several people on social media (or text them if you are not on social media) and ask them to write this note and either mail it to you or simply send you a picture of it.

{Recipient’s Name},
          {Your Name} loves you SO MUCH that it can be felt all the way down in {their city and state}! Happy Anniversary! 
~{Person Who You Reached Out To}

Then you will have a bunch of LOVE notes from all over the place for your love one!

Lacey B. gave me this idea when she reached out to me to get a letter for her husband for their anniversary. She was hoping to get a letter from someone she knew in each and every state. How sweet, right?!

Here’s the one I sent to her:

Share The Love RAOK Day 1

You might even be able to pull this off for Valentine’s Day! It is only 13 days away… so reach out to a few people tonight!!

I’ll be back tomorrow morning at 9am with your next opportunity to share some love!
