About Us

We are three friends who met in college and have moved to three very different states since graduation. Something that interests and moves all of us is trying to be more mindful in our own lives and inspiring kindness in others. We're starting this blog so that people have a place to share kindness they experience in their lives, their suggestions for sharing kindness with others, and to get inspiration from others' thoughts and ideas.

Love and light,

Claire, Emily, and Angie

A Challenge

I have a challenge for you, dear readers.  There are two parts.

Part 1: This week (so today until next Thursday), I challenge you to commute with kindness.  If you see someone signaling to change lanes, don't speed up to keep them from getting over in front of you, let them in.  Try sending some light instead of beeping at someone if they cut you off.  If someone is driving slower than you in front of you, don't tailgate them - slow your speed down.  If you're not a driver, try smiling at people you meet on the sidewalk or on the bus or train.  Again, let others go before you.  Let someone else have your seat and stand.  Think thoughts of love and light and compassion toward everyone sharing your commute instead of hostility.

Part 2: Pass this link on by posting it on your Facebook wall.  I wonder what might happen if a lot of people read this and accepted the challenge...would we see a change on the roads?  Pass it on and let's find out!

And please comment to let us know how this goes!  Were you horribly late for everything?  Did you experience inner peace on the subway?  Do you already do all of these things?  We'd love to hear!
