For the last few years I have integrated Random Acts of Kindness to my curriculum in order to start students thinking about how we communicate and show empathy to others. Recently my good gal pal Lea Ann began the Random Acts of Kindness movement with her children.

Day 2-June 19, 201

Today I decided to share something I love with a random person. My husband and I both love gardening and couldn't wait till we had a house and yard to decorate in beauty. For my husband it means a connection to his mother that is deceased. For me, I love the beauty and the happiness it brings to others. Often people stop and tell us how much they enjoy looking at our yard. Once we had a mother and her children stop and ask permission to sit and draw our garden.
Today's act of kindness was a no brainer. At first Ithought I would sit outside and the first person who made a comment on the yard would be the recipient of my next act of kindness. Too hot, so I made a bright yellow sign, big FREE letters and a short explanation of why I was giving this bountiful, beauty away. An hour went by. Lots of looks but no takers. I didn't give up. Lord, please send just the right person who is in need of an act of kindness to wander past. At 9:15, two hours after I put outside it has found a home.
This revolution is already changing the way I look at life and humanity. I feel closer to God and to my family. I can't wait to see what the next day brings.
