What is one creative idea for random kindness?
Here are some VERY cool ideas.
1. Give hand warmers to the homeless.
2. Leave a note of kindness on someone's desk.
You could say: "You inspire me." "You are so kind."
"You make a difference." "Thank you for being you."
"You make me smile." Be sincere.
3. Bake treats on your birthday and ask people if they'd like to help you celebrate random kindness.
4. Find someone that least expects it to give an act of kindness.
5. Buy someone's breakfast or burger at The Q without them knowing.
(When you least expect it, expect it. Popcorn's a popular present too!)
Here are some of the quotes we've collected at The Q. Cut and paste, print and cut up for your bowl of kindness quotes. May they inspire you as they've inspired us.
