This weekend I nervously fulfilled a kindness dream: to dress in an inflatable T-Rex costume and roam the streets of downtown doing random acts of kindness. I was very unsure of how people would respond, but I grabbed a handful of “Smile!” cards and affirmations, along with my trusty “Smile!” sign and went to work.
To my greatest delight, people loved it! Many smiles, free hugs, and photos brought a city of strangers together for a shared moment of whimsy and joy. I even danced with strangers. Definitely a fun experience! I must thank those of you who empowered me to experience this fun and kind act — the kindness cards, affirmation, and dinosaur costume were all donated by well-wishers. And with it, I have well completed and exceeded my 92 acts of kindness for January! (I love you, Grandma.)
