Today is one of my favourite days of the year. Can you guess why? Well, today is World Kindness Day!

And I have a challenge for all of us. Since we’re already in the Thanksgiving mood, let’s challenge ourselves to giving out Random Acts of Kindness (RAK) in addition to saying our thanks this month!

Megan, Rick and I are already having lots of fun. I’ll tell you more about this soon…

But first, let me share why World Kindness Day means so much to me.

World Kindness Day was introduced by the World Kindness Movement – a group of non-profits who got together with the common goal of inspiring individuals towards greater kindness. Through this simple act, they voice out the need to connect nations to create a kinder world.

World Kindness Day reminds us that kindness still exists – not just in the world, but also in humanity and in ourselves. Which is why I think we should challenge ourselves to give out as many RAKs as we can on this day!

I kicked off the day by surprising the staff at 123Greetings with a small box of chocolates each and a personalized e-card this morning. Megan out trumped me by cooking extra breakfast, packing it into individual paper bags, and then distributing these food bags to the homeless people she came across on her commute to work. How sweet!

During lunch, Megan and I teased how Rick was only being kind to hot blondes. After we finished our meals, he surprised us by going into the kitchen and offering to help with the dishes for half an hour, free of charge!

A random act of kindness doesn’t have to be out of your way or take up a lot of time, but the smile it brings to others is priceless.

So come on. Join in on our fun and let’s spread the kindness.
