Thank you Amanda for your beautiful and thought provoking words. They were inspiring.

As a community of kindness let’s strive to both see and be the light.

It isn’t always easy but we’re in this together. And as our new President said “to heal we must remember.” We’ll remember.

We’ll remember where the darkness seeped in and tried to spread and divide us. We’ll remember when we didn’t live up to our best - whether through silence or tacit approval.

We’ll remember, slowly heal and then be brave enough to both see and be the light. 💜

To promote kindness and connection is the core of our mission at Kindagious.

That’s not to say that we don’t understand that intolerance, bigotry, systemic racism and prejudice are enormous barriers to both expressing and receiving kindness.

To “be kind” is both painfully complex and exquisitely simple.

There are no easy answers and black lives matter every day and not just today or at times when our attention is grabbed by the latest injustice that is publicly displayed.

We are continuing to learn how kindness can be used as a tool for equity, justice, anti racism and connection.

We hope you’ll join us 💜 Every day.

What are you doing for others? (We’d love to hear in the comments)

Congressman Andy Kim from New Jersey got down on his hands and knees to help clean up the garbage and destruction in the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday.

In the midst of great chaos, uncertainty, anger and shock he quietly engaged in a very powerful act of kindness.

He is a poignant example of one person’s ability to start a chain of kindness without knowing (or worrying about) what ripples this one act would send out into the world.

Thank you Rep. Kim for your example and kindness on an otherwise overwhelming day that did not highlight the best of humanity. Your humility and dedication are inspiring 💜

As part of our “Best of 2020” posts this sentiment feels especially appropriate.

During these difficult and uncertain times it is important to remember to be kind - most especially to ourselves.

Take care of you and your feelings as they come up.

Check on others you care about, see if they need to talk or any kind of support.

Remember to breathe deeply, take breaks as you need them and stay connected to some (ANY!) positive people, places or things that give you peace and a sense of groundedness 💜

We’re 4 Days into the new year. If you haven’t taken the time to reflect and journal on 2020, today is as good a day as any! 💜

Start with 3 things and see where that takes you. It can be intimidating to consider more then 3, but a lot times just starting with the 3 will get the wheels turning.

Looking ahead, what are your kindness goals for 2021? We’d love to hear them -either in the comments or tag us #questforkind #kindagiousquest

We look forward to experiencing this year alongside you and having some fun as well as spreading enormous amounts of kindness, one moment and act at a time.

Day 31 - Happy New Years Eve!

2020 has been a difficult, historic, and emotionally taxing year. Thanks for your dedication to kindness 💜💜💜

Who are 3 people that helped you navigate and survive/thrive this year? Let them know and thank them for their part in helping you make it through.

Extra credit: Thank ALL the people who have had a role on helping you this year 💜🎉

Day 29 - It’s National Puzzle Day.

So many types of puzzles - jigsaw, crossword, logic, word searches etc.

Grab one and collaborate with a friend or family member. Or practice some self-kindness and set aside some time and do one on your own.

May these next 7 days be filled with unity, purpose, creativity, faith and light.

How can you share these principles with friends and family?

Day 24 - It’s Christmas Eve 🎄

For many it is a time of celebration, anticipation, connection and joy.

For an equal amount of people it is a time of grief, disconnection and pain - especially this year.

We encourage you to reach out to someone you know who is either alone or having a hard time with this holiday.

Call them, text them, send a video or arrange a virtual call - anything to remind them that they are not alone and that you are thinking of them 💜

Day 23 - Happy Festivus - for the rest of us!

What started out as a spoof/joke has become something filled with meaning.

If you don’t celebrate any of the traditional holidays (Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa) it can feel very lonely and isolating right now.

We encourage you to start your own Festivus traditions, or to reach out to others who also are left holiday-less.

Even if you don’t want to do that, use Festivus as a reminder that you are not alone and there are always others who would be able to resonate with you in any given moment. 💜

Day 21 - Happy Solstice! **New Virtual Postcard**

Day 21 - Happy Solstice! **New Virtual Postcard**

The Solstice marks the beginning of the days getting longer and the nights getting shorter here in the Northern Hemisphere.

The light is returning. Both physically and metaphorically. Use this message as a source of inspiration, comfort and kindness.

Who can use this message today? Why not send them a postcard? 💜

Day 19 - Dance Party time! Put on some holiday tunes and dance along.

Do it while you’re doing chores, wrapping gifts or just have a dedicated dance party just for the fun of it 🕺🏾💃🏽🎄

Invite family members to join in, or have a FaceTime party with a friend.

Your body and spirit will thank you ❤️💚

Day 17 - We’re a week out from Christmas, who do you know that could use some help?

Physically, emotionally or financially. There are people struggling in all these areas.

Maybe it’s offering to wrap gifts or shovel snow. Maybe it’s just sitting with someone (virtually) and just listening to them. Or maybe you know somebody who won’t be able to celebrate this year because of finances and you can help out a little.

Do a genuine check-in with people and see how they’re doing. 💜

Day 16 - Call somebody you haven’t talked to in

Day 16 - Call somebody you haven’t talked to in awhile, or maybe arrange a group call.

We know there’s a lot of on screen time in our lives right now, but it’s still important to stay connected in this way.

It’s important to see people’s faces as well as hear their voices.

Who are you calling?

LAST RECESS OF 2020! (Don’t worry, we’ll be back in some form - stay tuned for new details in 2021)

Let’s ugly sweater and play our way into this last full weekend before Christmas and New Years. Next week is sure to be full of many emotions.

Day 15 - We’re through the month of December. So that means we’re halfway through our kindness quest.

So we’ll ask again, how are YOU doing? Remember, kindness starts with yourself.

Are you being kind to yourself?

What do you need? How can you take care of yourself today? 💜
