On this World Kindness Day, we encourage you to do one kind act for someone else. Just by doing something small, you can make someone`s day a bit brighter. 💝☀️

Kindness is free! and inspires people to be kind to others. And, let`s face it, we can all use a little kindness today and everyday! 🥰

You can:

Hold the door open for someone.
Let someone go ahead of you in line.
Give a compliment to a stranger.
Send a handwritten note to a friend or loved one.
Smile at a stranger.
Say "thank you" and "please."
Be kind to yourself.
