We're kicking off our 365 Acts of Kindness today, encouraging everyone to do one nice thing for someone else every day, for the next year. It doesn't have to be random- you can certainly be kind to someone you know, or a complete stranger. The idea is to pass love around- help someone else out, and inspire them to do the same. Sometimes, we have to change to be the change we want to see in this world.

Every Monday, we'll post a weekly roundup of Acts of Kindness, where you can share how you've helped others, or how others have blessed you by their acts.

There are lots of great ideas for Acts of Kindness floating around the internet, so take to your search engines if you need some help with a few ideas. 

Here are a few to get you stared...

Take a basket of muffins to your local police station or fire department to thank the service men and women.

Give your next door neighbor a hand with some yard work or house work,

Visit your local retirement community for an afternoon of playing games, reading or singing.

Pay for the person behind you in line the next time you stop for fast food.

Leave a store gift card in a shopping basket for the next customer to find, with a note as to why you've left it.

Let's make a promise to love each other in 2013 & flood the earth with kindness. You never know- we might just randomly reward participants in this challenge! So, be sure to check in with us each week, to share your stories in the comment section.

Can't wait to see everyone's random or non-random acts next week!
