Do all things with kindness.

30 Days Of Kindess Challenge
We Heart It

Today, I did something kind. I'm sure my random act of kindness turned that kids frown upside down. I learned that it is important to do something kind for someone else and make their day. Whether or not that person was kind to you in return. Kindness is a characteristic that is more often than not mistaken for weakness which it is not. It can only make you stronger.

Here are a list of ideas you can choose from. Hope you brighten someone’s day today!

  1. Write and send someone a handwritten letter
  2. Compliment a stranger
  3. Send paper thank you notes to five different people
  4. Pay for the coffee, the toll or the bus fare for the person behind you
  5. Let the person who seems rushed cut in front of you
  6. Hold the door open for someone
  7. Help people move
  8. Send your friend a letter
  9. Go through your things and give freely to those in need
  10. Call everyone you know and tell them you love them
  11. Help someone whose car has broken down
  12. Bake a cake for the birthday person
  13. Let someone else have your seat on the crowded bus, light-rail or subway
  14. Do the task no one else wants to do
  15. Listen to someone’s life story — yes, the whole thing
  16. Put money in someone else’s parking meter that’s about to expire
  17. Cook or buy a meal for a homeless person
  18. Donate to your local charity
  19. Leave a generous tip
  20. Take positive small talk to strangers
  21. Take your friend's dog for a walk
  22. Send someone a small gift anonymously
  23. Offer to pick up groceries for an elderly neighbor
  24. Leave your favorite book in a public place with a note
  25. Donate books to your local library
  26. Volunteer at a soup kitchen
  27. Pay for the drinks on the next table at a restaurant
  28. Treat a friend to the movies for no reason

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
