I WILL: Create the Ripple

A drop of kindness radiates more kindness. Be the drop, create the ripple.

Studies show that practicing qualities, such as kindness, on a daily basis, can positively impact emotions leaving you feeling more joy, hope and enthusiasm. Extending kindness to others may also lower your blood pressure and your risk for heart disease.

Start Small: Make the act of kindness part of your daily intentions. Start your day with an intentional plan to show kindness to others.

Finish Remarkable: Keep the ripples going! Invite others to join you for daily acts of kindness.
