First be kind.....then ask questions.
There is negativity all around us, at this particular time in my existence, people hearing about positive things produces more of a shocked reaction than all the bad things do. This is absolutely backwards. When did good become something rare, and why are we not acknowledging it more??
I feel inspired!!
One of my favorite humans did something super kind today, and allowed me to take part in it. That coupled with the fact that I am part of the amazing whaleshares community on steemit/discord that was created for the sole purpose of giving (thank you @officialfuzzy and @blocktrades), has inspired me to inspire you!!
Do something kind this week, and then come tell me about it. Kindness is free! Sprinkle it everywhere!! Tell me here in the comments or come visit me on discord and tell me there. I want to hear about it. I'm always full of surprises, so I am absolutely sure I have something up my sleeve to acknowledge and pay it forward to a couple people who make my heart particularly happy with their kindness.
WAIT!! You didnt really think I was going to urge you to be kind and not tell you how I am planning on paying it forward, Did you??
I have been looking for the perfect way to give back for Christmas and it finally occurred to me. There are a couple local baby pantries (they serve kids from birth to 5 years old) that give out toys to parents at Christmas time to help keep Christmas magical, they also give out clothing, diapers and formula (lots of other things too) year round. I will be purchasing some toys to donate to one and will also make time to crochet some hats for the babies (I already have tons of yarn and the know how, so this bit is essentially free). I will surely update you when I have completed this, hopefully within 2 weeks time!
Much Love,
krazykrista
Awww that is a good thing to do. Nice move. ❤ we keep forgetting about the people close to us. Lets spread the love.

Awesome initiative! It's amazing what kindness can do to change the world around you into a better place, it brings out the very best in people!
Would be great if this initiative could taken far and wide by the steemit community. Anne Herbert's inspiring quote was displayed on my old car's rear window: 'Practice random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty' Hopefully that inspired a couple of motorists into doing just that! If only each one of us could do one little act of kindness, the world would be a better place!
Will take up your challenge, thank you for this @krazykrista :):)

This is the best message I've seen of late. I hope as a global community, we can turn this around. The negativity is rampant. But I think there are many like us who feel in our hearts that we can and should all do good, treat others with respect, and make the world a better place.

Smiles cost nothing and yet spread cheer. I believe in paying forward good deeds. It has the ripple effect. You do something nice for someone and they pay it forward to two or three others. Those in turn spread the action to another two or three each and the Cycle continues. We have an obligations to be positive. Lead by example. Stop the spread of negativity.

Kindness can only be defined by the people who are receiving it. Go out of your way to be kind and I do hope you feel rewarded in the good feels it provides you <3

This is a beautiful initiative @krazykrista... and while there is never a bad time for such - Christmas seems suitable. Such a initiative cuts through he commercialized nature, back to the principles that made the period so endeared once upon a time.
I admit that this leads me to wonder what I shall do to honor this initiative. While I occasionally claim not to have a charitable bone in my body (bad experiences), that is not quite true - as I remain generous for my means.
Thank you for inspiring. ^_^

im all into doing kind stuff lately.
finally accepted to put some of my grandpa stories on paper. he always wanted that from me, but he never really asked me to do so. it was status quo for many years. now i have good part of it written, and he does not know yet. im waiting right moment to surprise him.
old dude had life for big screen. more of trilogy actually.
i wasnt too happy to listen to these when i was younger, but most of his stories are real treasure. wonder how many of those old people passed and noone listened or wrote down their stories.

Yesssss paying it forward is the way to go!
If you need more charity ideas lets talk on discord tomorrow about it... something with a group who is raising money for their employees who lost their houses in the hurricane here. From the cash building supplies are bought and clothes and toys for kids...you know..getting stuff in the right place!
My own paying it forward? I plan to cook for the elderly here during christmas and pass out meals (if im not working then, christmas i will be on call in the hospital as well..yeah!)

Well done to you,
I'm glad there are people like you in the world (sometimes feeling that they are out of stock).
Religiously, whoever gives, is guaranteed to double his giving.
I believe, when you give yourself away, love becomes somethin' that you do
Envisage yourself experiencing what you really want for yourself.
