Guerrilla Goodness

I have discovered some wonderful blogs written solely with the intentions to commit, encourage and report RAOK, Random Acts of Kindness. Through social media I have learned that there are many patrons of philanthropy in the blogosphere who are simply trying to spread kindness one heart at a time. I've blogged before about Operation Nice, Operation Smiley Face, and many organizations with kindness missions. Here is one more I hope you'll follow. Kindnessgirl.com practices Guerrilla Goodness. This could be in the form of ding-dong ditchin' (leaving behind fresh cut flowers and a note), handing out lottery tickets to service people, leaving coins in gumball machines, placing Starbucks gift cards with kind notes all over town, in other words...RAOK. What I like best about her "surprise attacks" is that she has involved her children. What these kids are learning about kindness will most probably get passed down to their children. Pass It On!

From her blog:
Over time I realized that kindness came in all forms and I didn’t have to be rich to spread love and joy in the world. Tiny notes left in books at the library, a long conversation with an elderly man in the supermarket, a cold drink for a bum on the street, all of it energized my soul in a way nothing else did or could. There is no selfless good deed but it doesn’t really matter, the world needs it all… I have been on both ends of kindness and decided this was the work of my life. When I looked back, kindness had been calling me all along.

Watch Kindness Girl (a.k.a., Patience) speak with Elmo about love and kindness! I'm an Elmo fan and am so jealous. http://kindnessgirl.com/
