“In a world where you can be anything, be kind” – Caroline Flack

Choose kindness every time. Life can make us callous and cold at times when we are wrapped up in the turmoil of the day-to-day, life’s challenges, personal tragedy, loss, heartache, loneliness, discontentment, and plethora of negative things that we are all bound to experience. Despite all of this, kindness and joy are choices and we would encourage you to choose kindness and joy as often as possible.

You can never know the immense impact you can have on another individual. Wouldn’t it be great if someone’s only memory of an encounter with you was one of kindness? The encounters don’t even have to be direct, the point is that by choosing to engage in an act of kindness, you are making our world just a little bit better, and it means something.

Last week was World Kindness week and as such, the team here at The Gift Designers chose to partner with Sonshine Community Services in their Passion 4 Fashion clothing drive. In doing so , we had the opportunity to bless families in our community. More than the fact that it felt good and was good for our spirits, we know that we blessed and encouraged people that we might never even meet, thus creating a memorable moment for them that may bring joy for years to come.

Kindness does not need to be limited to celebration and awareness for just one week, but rather every day. What are some ways that you chose to be kind? We love to be inspired by your kindness!
