Take the Kindness Challenge!

We are all familiar with the various crazy Social Media challenges out there... especially if you have kids. I've been thinking of all the social unrest and forced isolation we as a society have been currently experiencing.

I came across a sign in front of a salon. It was in a simple wireframe and handwritten, " Be Kind". I appreciated the simplicity of the statement. Simple, yet profound.

In our world of unrest, of brokenness, and of now upheaval, those words have great implication - "Be Kind".

How would our circle of influence change if we took up the challenge? How could we influence others? The picture I chose was that of a seedling taking root in someone's hand. I want to extend my hand to you dear reader. Let's take up a 14 day "Be Kind" Challenge!

I want to challenge you to "Be Kind" to those who are not kind to you. I want to challenge you to reach out to those you appreciate but never tell. I want to challenge you to be kind to those you have never met or are in need."Be Kind" to the spitful, the unloving, the arrogant, the simple.

Why? Because kindness...showing a single act of kindness, throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees. ( Amelia Earhart). Why 14 days? Because it takes 14 days to make a habit. It is true...people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care!

If your up to a positive challenge join me in the next 14 days and leave a comment on how things are going. The person you may change might just be you!
