The last few days I've been challenging myself to "Free Kindness" as I notice I tend to associate acts of kindness with either gifting someone something or paying it forward by 'buying' something. Some days I give myself a hard time even thinking I haven't given or
when I do give I'm taking the easy way out by just buying someone a coffee. So this year I'm challenging myself to free kindness.
Last night I was able to gift a lovely free kindness to a work colleague who was really tired after working two jobs. I was due to finish work at 8 however told her to go home and that I'd cover the rest of her shift and stay back.
Today my 'free' kindness has been feeding ducks at a local park, picking all the beer bottles and cans. I also whilst picking up rubbish found a full packet of cigarettes which I will gift to someone at work as I don't smoke.
