Although The Random Acts of Kindness calendar was created for the workplace, I thought that it had some great ideas for us as we shelter in this holiday weekend.

Did you know that science shows that the positive effects of kindness are experienced in the brain of those who participated in, received or witnessed the act, improving their mood and making them significantly more likely to “pay it forward?” This means one act of kindness in a crowded area can create a domino effect and improve the day of dozens of people! You can be that person. Imagine if those small acts changed the culture of our community. Read on.

• Make kindness the norm
• Take good care of yourself
• Show a little love
• Be brave, be you
• We are one
• Move forward by giving back
• Do the right thing
• Explore your passions
• Together, everyone achieves more
• Today is a wonderful day
• Respect

From my household to yours, have a happy, healthy, and safe Easter!
