Heading to the laundromat this weekend? A great way to share kindness with a stranger is to leave quarters in a machine before you go (no sign required)!
#FurtiveFriday #weekend #love #kindness #payitforward #EverydayLove

Quarters lined up in a laundromat washer, with a sign that says "You are the recipient of a random act of kindness. Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier."

What a great idea! My biggest concern was that a note might fall out if the librarian did a quick flip through when the book was returned. Sticky notes are a perfect solution! Thanks for that suggestion!!

I donated some books to our local library yesterday, for an upcoming book sale fundraiser. It got me thinking how fun it might be to leave little friendly notes inside books I borrow. Hmmm... Might need to try this. 🙂

So many of us think of self care as something that requires daily effort or costs money to do, when really it can be as simple as making choices that protect our wellbeing. I hope you canbe gentle with yourself today, in whatever form that takes. 💛

Black text on white background: "Self-care isn't just drinking water and going to sleep early. Self-care is taking a break when things get overwhelming, saying NO to things you do not want to do, allowing yourself to cry, asking for help from those around you, doing things that make you happy."

Thankful for warm hazelnut coffee, and for unexpected cards from people I don't get to see nearly often enough. I hope you can find things to be #thankful for today as well. 😊❤️

Today, I am #thankful for soft, warm fleece pants and cuddly sweatshirts. And even more #grateful because it is a work from home day, so I can wear them. I hope you have some things to be thankful for today, too. ❤️

Mondays are hard. Be kind to yourself, and be kind to others. It's a great day to compliment someone on their adorable shoes. 👢🥿👞👟

It's ##SelfCareSunday and that means it's time to do something to recharge and replenish. It's impossible to send #love and #kindness out into the world when we're depleted. Take care of yourselves today ❤️

It's #Caturday again! Today, Marm decides to #relax in an unconventional way, continuing his ongoing trend of cat weirdness. This is why we love him.

It's #Friday, and that means it's time to go undercover to do something nice for someone without them knowing where it came from! One suggestion: Leave a supportive note in a public place, labeled "If you find this, it's meant for you."

Be kind, even when it feels like the world isn't. Your kindness can be the spark that reminds someone there's still good in humanity. One small act can ripple farther than you'll ever know.

Sometimes the weekend rolls around and we feel like we can conquer the world. Other times... Not so much. Sharing this list of #caring ways we can explain to ourselves that it's okay to rest on this #SelfCareSunday. Because often, it's only our own minds that need convincing.

Take a moment today to think about the people who make your world brighter. Maybe there's a friend or family member... But often there are people we forget to consider: the older man who walks his dog through your neighborhood; the cashier with the friendly smile. Let the light in. #ThankfulThursday
