Now, you might be thinking, "Do I need to plan an epic kindness flash mob?" Nope, not at all. The beauty of these acts is in their simplicity. Holding the elevator, complimenting a stranger's outfit, or even just sharing a genuine laugh – these are the tiny kindness seeds that grow into massive joy trees.

So, whether it's leaving a trail of compliments on sticky notes or turning your spare change into a random act of coffee kindness, these little gestures are like dropping happiness bombs that explode into a world of joy, one act at a time.

I don't know about you, but I often found that I did not have cash on me at those very opportune times that present themselves to do an act of kindness (lemonade stand ahead!). Now I always carry with me my "gratitude wallet" which is just a few dollars and some change. I found this adorable change wallet that I am obsessed with. I will quickly be swapping mine out for this! This adorable change purse is changing the world by providing living wage jobs in Haiti! Remember, kindness is your superpower, and you've got an unlimited supply. So go on, unleash your inner kindness ninja and celebrate #givingtuesday on 11/28 in your own magical way. Together we can start a kindness ripple effect that can make some pretty big waves.
