Last week I couldn’t stop talking about Random Acts of Kindness Day because it’s simply AMAZING!!
Kindness makes the world a better place, and I want everyone to participate.
Don’t get me wrong, it is not just for one day, I try to make it part of my every day in little ways that hardly get noticed, but it improves my mental health and impacts the people around me.
Some ways I regularly take part:
- Complimenting people
- Donating Blood
- Supporting small buisness
- Saying thanks often
- Picking up litter
- Leaving reviews
- Solving a problem
- Encouraging people to be themselves
- Treating everyone as individuals
- Smiling
Want some Kindess inspiration?

But Random Acts of Kindness day gives me an excuse to be EXTRA, to make an effort and do something different, which is why I shout about it so much because I want everybody to join in.
So this year, to do something special, I created 27 balloon animals with inspiring gift tags and cheerful little notes for the person to find.

Howden Clough Community Centre
I started my journey at my local community library shed, which is packed to the brim with fantastic books
It was a blustery day and I felt very windswept by the end of it so i’m glad I was hiding the balloons in libraries so they wouldn’t blow away!

Leeds Free Little Libraries
I went on a tour of 7 Leeds little libraries across Morley, Gildersome, Pudsey & Farsley
I was so impressed by the artwork and the feel of community spirit from each little library, it’s such a beautiful project, and I highly recommend checking out your local one.

Farsley Community Library & Hub
My last drop off was at the main Library in Farsley which i saved the balloons that where far to large for the little libraries.

Coffee break at Nan’s House
To recover from the wind I stopped at my Nan’s house in farsley an warmed up with a nice cup of coffee and a chat.
Yes I did dress for the occasion with my matching balloon animal leggings!
A HUGE THANKS to @DaniellesHomeBakery
Out of 27 balloons, I got 1 response!
And I was DELIGHTED!!
The point was to share kindness, so any SM tags were a bonus to me, and this one message brightened my day tenfold.
The little things that matter and receiving this message made all the hard work worth it.
I had completed my mission! 😁❤✨

Did you take part in random acts of kindness day?
I’d love to hear what you did. It doesn’t matter how big or small every little thing makes a big difference!
As a bonus act of kindness, I’ve started a featured Friendor (friend vendor) in my blog posts to shout out to other small business owners. This is not a paid-for advert, just something nice 😊
