Random Act of Kindness Week

I read somewhere that this week is "Random Act of Kindness Week." I'm challenging everyone to do something this week. Let me know and I'll post a list here---no names, just a list of the types of things that were done.

Mindy did this last week---although not as a random act of kindness. She was shopping at Whole Foods. She was asking a lady in the cheese department for some help picking out cheeses. The woman spent a lot of time with her---even including beverage pairings for the cheeses. Mindy left feeling confident in her choices. She sent a letter via email to the store manager (or maybe corporate---I'm not sure). She received a response saying that due to her letter, that employee would be getting a bonus!!! As Mindy said, "We are quick to complain---but don't usually take the time to comment on the good things that happen." I'm glad she did.

You just never know what going out of your way just a little for someone else might do for them!! Let's all give it a try this week. Do be sure to let me know how it goes!

  6. A great challenge - I'm still trying to do a kindness for a neighbor per Cheri's challenge, so maybe I can combine them! :>)
