Here's my checklist:

☑ Give a stranger a compliment

⬜ Leave a sticky note in a public bathroom stall or on the mirror that says "You look amazing!"

☑ Eat lunch with someone new

☑ Contact an old friend or relative

⬜ Tape change to a vending machine with a note that's says "Have a drink, on me!"

☑ Listen with your heart

☑ Give up your seat for someone

⬜ Give construction workers or people standing on the side of the road cold drinks (or hot drinks depending on location/weather)

☑ Share a snack

⬜ Leave kind notes on cars in the parking lot

☑ Hold the door open for someone

⬜ Bring a welcome card/gift to a new student/coworker

⬜ Pay for the order behind you in the drive thru

☑ Let someone else go first

☑ Pick up litter

⬜ Defend someone that is being bullied or being gossipped about

☑ Forgive mistakes

⬜ Give an extra tip when you go out for dinner

⬜ Create a holiday to celebrate someone you love (ex. BananaPieLove Appreciation Day)

☑ Tell the truth

☑ If you have to correct someone or address a mistake, be sure to sure point out something that they did good as well

☑ Learn and try to remember everyone's name (everybody is important!)

☑ Offer a ride

⬜ Pray with a hurting friend

☑ Say good morning/afternoon/night to everyone

⬜ Be someone's cheerleader - encourage their dreams, help them reach their goals

☑ Say "I'M sorry." or "I love you." not just "Sorry." or "Love you." and say them more often (trust me, it makes a world of difference!)

⬜ Offer the plumber, electrician, painter, etc. a drink while their working

☑ Be kind to yourself - do something just for you! You matter too!

(There are little boxed check mark emojis by the ones I did. Please tell me if you are unable to see these emojis on your device, that way I can remind myself not to use emojis anymore, so nobody gets confused. Thanks!)

To be honest, it feels pretty good to look back and see the things I've done, and most of these I didn't even think about, I just did them! I genuinely hope you can say the same! I didn't get all of them, but that helps me know what I need to work on to be a kinder person.

Comment how many you did this past week! There were 29 in total, so my comment (for example) would be 17/29.

Don't be embarrassed and please don't lie. Every single person has plenty of room for improvement, you're not alone, and being honest with yourself and others is the best way to start your journey! And that doesn't just apply to this situation, that applies to every situation! When you become a Christian, you have to admit to yourself and to God that you have not been the person that you should be, and only then can you be changed. Remember...

If you change nothing, nothing will change.

Thank you both so much for simply existing! You are such amazing people that God created for a reason, part of that reason being to make me smile brighter! You guys really do make my heart shine with your interaction, your faith in God, and your unbelievably nice comments! Thank you once again, and I pray that your birthday is everything that you could ever wish for and more! :)

So, I know I changed the cover for this book a while ago, but can we just take a moment now to appreciate how cool it looks! I'm quite proud. :)

Yup. That was random.

Speaking of random, keep up those random acts of kindness to where you just do them out of habit! There is nothing wrong with that!

→Quotes from today's lesson come from a very inspiring movie titled The Help. It is my all time favorite movie! 110% recommended!←

Share something you like with someone today! Converse with the people around you! Sprinkle happiness everywhere you go! Love, love, love!

Wooh!🙌

You guys have a great day! Be good lil' noodles for me!

You cannot lose my love ❤
