This week through the celebration of Random Acts of Kindness Week, we’ve visited the need to reinforce the power of being kind in our everyday lives. And…there’s still 3 more days to go!

As one who has not always been on the receiving end of kindness, particularly in my career as a school principal, I can tell you that nothing could be more important. Being able to be kind is something that I believe we are all born with,and somewhere along the way, if not nurtured, can be lost in the business of our daily lives. The modeling of kindness is a practice that must be sought after if we are to raise a generation of individuals who will care about each other, and this planet we all share.

In honor of this week, I started 2 boards on Pinterest:

• #Kindness Matters
• Be Kind (Edutopia.org)

Please use the links, resources and ideas found on these boards and share them with your friends and colleagues because:

Today for #RAKweek Day 5, your mission, is to Donate your time of money to a local charity!

Have you been up for the challenge? What will you do this weekend, to jump-start your journey of modeling  kindness ?
