✨ Random Acts of Kindness Day – February 17 ✨

Today is a reminder that small moments of kindness can make a big difference.
A smile. A kind word. Holding space for someone who needs it.

Here’s a little challenge for today:
✔ Compliment someone
✔ Pay it forward
✔ Send a text - "thinking of you", "checking in"
✔ Hold a door, or maybe let someone ahead of you in line

Kindness doesn’t have to be grand—just genuine. 💛
Tag someone who inspires kindness or comment with how you’re spreading it today!
