This blog is dedicated to all kindred souls who believe in random acts of kindness in everyday life. If we can get more people doing this then the world will become a happier place where peace and joy happen.

Join me as we all inspire, enlighten, and make someone's day happy through spirituality and the sincere kindness of our hearts. Together we can make a world of difference - one person at a time. If you do one random act of kindness everyday it will put a smile on both your face and also on the face of the other person.

“No kind action ever stops with itself. One kind action leads to another. Good example is followed. A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees. The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves. ” - Amelia Earhart
