Would you help me welcome Melissa Burmester & Jaclyn Lindsey Publisher of Be Kind: A Year of Kindness, One Week at a Time (Everyday Inspiration) which you will find inside our Christmas Gift Guide.
Charlie and I will be using Be Kind: A Year of Kindness, One Week at a Time (Everyday Inspiration) in our PE/ Reading class to get us out of our comfort zone allowing us to do something nice for others.
We would like to invite you to come and join us in reading Be Kind: A Year of Kindness, One Week at a Time (Everyday Inspiration) and creating kindness in our lives.
About:
Produced in partnership with the nonprofit organization kindness.org, Be Kind emboldens you to try an act of kindness every week for a year, benefiting others and yourself while deepening connections in your community big and small.
Each of the 52 weeks of kindness includes a dose of inspiration (a story about when a small act of kindness, an authentic personal gratitude letter that had a big impact, a Q&A, or a quote from a notable thinker); a fascinating statistic or fact about kindness that has been researched by Kindlab, the research arm of kindness.org (e.g., Kindness improves the well-being of both the giver and the receiver.); and a suggestion for an act of kindness to do in one of the following areas:
- Kindness toward those around you (service workers, colleagues, neighbors)
- Kindness to self
- Kindness with kids
- Kindness as a group
- Kindness to the environment
- Cyber-kindness
Fully illustrated, engaging, and inspiring, Be Kind will have you changing not only yourself and your communities, but also the world, one week at a time.
