Random Acts of Kindness

I love giving strangers compliments.  I am a good one for telling a woman on the street, "great shoes" or "great hair", something along those lines.  I just feel like people don't say enough nice things to one another.  The women probably think my curls are tickling my brain, but that's okay.  I feel better after giving a compliment.  And just think, if I feel better after giving a compliment, just maybe the receiver feels even better.  I can only hope.

A few days ago, I found this link on a website for these great little cards. I printed them, cut them, and put them in my purse.  If you look around the website (which is aptly named KIND OVER MATTER), there are a few different types of cards.  They are great little cards to leave for strangers to find, and to hopefully make someone smile.

So far, I've only left two:  one inside a menu of a champagne bar, and I left one for Ignacio.  But, look out world!

It's the little things that can sometimes make a big difference.

  8. I totally downloaded and printed these out when I stumbled upon Kind Over Matter the other day. I printed out all their cute/sweet little cards and have them in my purse now for guerilla smile-making.

    So fun! :)
