2018 Summer Kindness Challenge

You CAN make a difference. No, wait, WE CAN make a difference.  Together, we possess the power to change the world, but it starts with one random act of kindness at a time.

Join idontstink.com to engage in the new  Summer Kindness Challenge. The Challenge runs through June 30th. We are challenging you to dedicate practicing kind deeds daily. What you are challenged to do is plan out and deliver 1 kind deed daily through the month of June. You got this, right?!

Kindness is never wasted nor should it ever be taken for granted. It is time to take a stand and make a difference in the world and it starts today! It starts with me and it also starts with you!

We built the Kindness Meter as a way of raising awareness of the power of kindness. It provides overall positive energy to both the givers and receivers of the kind deeds. But another SA-WEET advantage is that science has proven that anyone who witnesses the kind act benefits too! Talk about a win-win situation!

Find a way to be kind today, and log all your kind deeds on the Kindness Meter by registering for a free account on the homepage of idonstink.com.  Once registered, you will have YOUR VERY OWN Kindness Meter.  When you log your kind acts, they automatically feed the public meter on the homepage!

Kindness Meter Tops 10,000 kind deeds!  THANK YOU! WOW!!!

We have now reached a milestone in our kindness challenge.  We are officially two thirds of the way done.  There have been some interesting things that happened to me during this time.  One of the most important things I have learned is that kindness is contagious.  I have discovered that when I do kind deeds for others, I notice others doing kind deeds themselves.  Now how cool is that? 

Another thing I have learned is that when I am actively doing kind deeds, or even thinking about doing kind deeds, STINKIN’ THINKIN’ does not exist.  It disappears almost instantly.  That is a nice by product of doing kindness.

IMG_2250Sadly, we are wrapping up our stay here at the beach.  It has been an amazing trip and we are already planning next year’s trip.  Checkout last night’s sunset to the left.  Just when I thought the sky wouldn’t get any prettier, it did. 

With peace, love and gratitude,

Bill

Kindness is a blessing especially when you combine gratitude with it.  Being thankful for everything in your life will sweetie_1allow you to do even more for others.  You really can make a major impact on others.  All it takes is to practice doing kind deeds today.  Then, repeat tomorrow and keep repeating.

“The unthankful heart… discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings!”   Henry Ward Beecher (US Congregational minister, 1813-1887)

With gratitude and peace,
