Oct. 29 - Kindness Challenge

Day 301 of a year of kindnessIn honor of my 301th day, I had the pleasure of speaking to a women’s network group in Wichita and Denver.

This event was made possible by Andi Atwater - kindness ambassador and former newspaper colleague - who appreciates good writing and kindness!I really enjoyed speaking to the group and was even happier by what happened afterwards.

Andi and her colleague launched a 30-day acts of kindness challenge for its nearly 500 members throughout November. The challenge includes things like writing thank you notes, giving compliments or making a gratitude list. What makes me so happy is the ripple effect - kindness that keeps on rolling - from Rhode Island to Wichita to Denver to kindness points beyond. It's making the rounds!

Science of Kindness: Research shows that acts of kindness are contagious, creating ripple effects that strengthen communities and make the world a better place to live. #BeKind #KindnessCounts #KindnessCounts2025 #kindness #KindnessEffect
