Did you know that this week is Random Acts of Kindness week<\/a>?\u00a0 It kicks off today and continues through to the 15th.\u00a0 Random acts of kindness can be anything from buying the person in line behind you a coffee to helping someone take out their trash.<\/p>\n

I wanted to take this time to highlight a particular act of kindness that has my full support.\u00a0 My friend, T<\/a>, has a son who is amazingly gifted with ceramics.\u00a0 And I mean that sincerely, his stuff is incredible.\u00a0 How he got his start with ceramics can be found here<\/a>.\u00a0 His name is Michael and I am in awe of the things he makes.\u00a0 One of the things he is doing is creating “change”, and I mean that in more ways than one.<\/p>\n

\"change

change <\/p><\/div>\n

The idea is to carry some around with you and when you have a positive interaction with someone, give them a piece of change.\u00a0 Perhaps two, one to keep and one to pass on when they have a positive interaction with someone.<\/p>\n

Let’s think about this for a minute.\u00a0 Maybe at first it seems odd, why give something to a stranger?\u00a0 But going deeper, the question then becomes, why not?\u00a0 Guaranteed that person will remember the interaction and perhaps it will make them smile a little brighter that day.\u00a0 And keep them smiling as they remember that someone was nice to them.<\/p>\n

In a world where everyone is rushing around and the first emotion tends to be cranky, doing something nice for someone can have the ability to change lives.\u00a0 Yours and theirs.<\/p>\n

I have my order in for change and loads of it.\u00a0 If you would like some change as well, follow the link to T’s blog<\/a> and drop him a line.\u00a0 He’ll gladly send some to you too.<\/p>\n
