Somehow, I magically grew up in a world where acts of kindness were part of everyday life.

We held the door, gave up cabs and our seat on the bus, said please and thank you, as part of our regular day. We tipped generously, we smiled, we waved. We helped with bags and offered umbrellas and an arm. We wrote thank you notes and condolence notes. None of this made the news. It was just the way we were and guess what? - It was fun:) Not sure where to start? Never fear - here are a few sites to inspire you.

Become a RAKTIVIST (Random Acts of Kindness Activist) -the people that end up brightening what otherwise would’ve been ‘just a normal day’. You know the sort. The clerk at the store who tells you to ‘have a great day’...and really means it. The person on the bus who offers their seat to a pregnant or elderly person. The little, tender gestures when you need them most, (but expect them the least). Sign up for their daily e-mails
