Consider this your open invitation to the Ministry of
Kindness! What is the Ministry of Kindness? It’s this thing I created to spread
kindness through creativity. Inspired by organizations like
Random Acts and
More Love Letters, I believe that you can make someone’s day by doing an act of
kindness. The best way to do that is by using some creativity! Here are some
ways to join the Ministry of Kindness:
1. Dress up as a superhero, a princess, a knight,
or anything like that and visit kids in the hospital! While you’re there you
can give out gifts, flowers, or put on a puppet show.2.
Leave a little encouraging note for someone to
find, More Love Letters style.3.
Give out flowers to random people you meet
during the day.4.
Give out balloons (who doesn’t love balloons?)
You don’t have to spend a ton of money. That’s
where the creativity comes in. Think of kind things you can do that are simple and
can be done just about anywhere. Besides visiting a children’s hospital, these
are things that can be done anywhere. At the park, on the street, in the coffee
shop, on your college campus. Sure, these things aren’t going to solve any
major problems. We’re not going to find a cure to anything. We’re not going to
solve world hunger or end poverty. We can make someone’s day better, though,
and that is an amazing feat in itself.
Also, please remember that we are trying to
help someone have a better day. If someone asks you to stop or doesn’t want to
accept your act, please respect their wishes. Everyone has different beliefs
and may not necessarily agree with what you are doing. Don’t let that
discourage you from trying again though!
Be sure to stay tuned for inspiration and
craft & DIY tutorials for things that can be used for your acts of
kindness!
If
you do any of these things, or anything in the spirit of ministry of kindness,
be sure to tag a photo on Twitter or Instagram with #ministryofkindness!
