I’m challenging myself to do an act of kindness everyday throughout the month of March. The purpose is to distract myself from my 27th Birthday (4th March) and bring some joy into other people lives.
The last few months have been hard, I’ve had money issues, I’ve had a few scares with my living situation and I’ve been overly stressed/underly appreciated at work. So instead of falling down into a web of depression and grouchiness I thought I’d set myself this mini-challenge and do some good.
I hope I have your support, I’ll report next month with an itinerary of my daily acts.
If you want to give your support why not join in? Why make March the month of positive thinking and acts of kindness, afterall, spring is the end of winter and a step towards summer, beer gardens and holidays in the sun.

Way to go! I love it – I will make a commitment to do the same thing – a daily random act of kindness.
We can change the world with this, you know!
Hope all is beautiful in your world today!

Today’s first random act of kindness: showed rather than told directions – it was a good thing too, she never would have found her way…

A good philosophy to live by, boosting your karma count!
Danny Wallace wrote a min-book called Random Acts of Kindness which is worth reading if you haven’t already seen it.

I heard a song today and they said, “They used to play this song every day for Kindness Week.” …every day for kindness week? I love that. Every day should be part of Kindness Week.
My birthday is in March, too. From now on I will make that my personal Kindness Month. I wish had thought about that sooner.
I found this website on Twitter! Gratzi.

Great post. Act of Kindness on Twitter is asking people “Who have you helped today?” instead of “What are you doing?” All acts of kindness are being tagged with #actofkindness – join the shift!

Thanks for the link to this random act of kindness. Very wonderful to learn about good people doing good things.
Don’t forget to ask for free stickers!

I too am not looking forward to my 27th, which is in September.
Although, me and my partner, who’s birthday is 5 days after mine, are considering celebrating the event with a fancy dress party where guests are invited to dress as a member of the exclusive “27 Club”

What were the highlights of your acts of kindness? How many grannies did you help across the road?
