Please Do an Act of Kindness Today!
At The Love and Kindness Project Foundation
We believe in a pregnant person’s right to choose. We ‘say gay’ with pride, and that Black Lives Matter. We believe that kindness is a human characteristic available to all and that it is not associated with any particular religion or set of beliefs. And we know that the antidote for unkindness is kindness. Today, and each day, please do an act of kindness. Your act of kindness, no matter how small it feels, when combined with those of others, will change the world for the kinder and better. Until everyone is accepted and celebrated for who they are, has access to the healthcare they need, and lives in safety and peace, none of us do.
Hey @everyone! It’s October! Time for our new theme!
This month we’ll be focusing on practicing empathy, one of the two roots of kindness!
Last Thursday, I took a rideshare home from the airport. The driver was super friendly and told me that he’d come to United States four years ago as a refugee from South Sudan. His wife and kids were in Egypt, and he hoped to bring them to he with him someday.
There is a lot of road construction between the airport and my house. As we chatted about the delays and the length of time it was taking to complete the construction, the driver said: “Yes, it may be taking a long time, but it is so great they have to work on it. In South Sudan we have donkeys and camels…”
As we chatted the rest of the way on the ride, I thought about his experience as a refugee and immigrant. And how different we were. How could I even imagine what he had been through? How could I “put myself” in his shoes”?
And that is the thing about empathy. It takes practice. A huge amount of practice, and open eyes, open ears, an open mind and open heart. We are all different, and our experiences, pain, joy, suffering, temperament and systems we’ve lived in have shaped each of us.
It’s easy to “think like we do” and harder to really deeply understand others. That’s what practicing empathy is for, and it’s the first step towards kindness.

Empathy is love!
Hey @everyone! It’s the last day of posts on our September theme of Kindness is about Learning!
Today, compliment yourself on all of your efforts to practice kindness…and on the progress you are making on a new skill you are learning!
Learning means going outside your comfort zone and taking risks! It can be scary…but kindness to others and to ourselves is the thing that makes it possible!
October’s theme???? Check back on Monday to find out!

Hey @everyone! Thinking Kindly isn’t easy! Because your brain is hardwired for negativity bias, unkind thoughts just arise! Figuring out how to lessen those negative first thoughts takes practice…and it often takes trying something new!
If you haven’t done box breathing or yoga before, give those a try! And if you have, look for other, different ways to reframe and practice!
Learning how to think more kindly means trying different ways to practice!
