Kindness. What is it good for? Absolutely everything!

✓ Boosts self-esteem, feelings of well being, happiness, and optimism

✓ Fosters a sense of community helping people feel connected and supported

✓ Encourages compassion and understanding to break down barriers of prejudice

✓ Promotes a more caring and supportive environment, making the world a better place for everyone.

✓ Kindness is contagious rippling out to others to create shifts in attitudes, behaviors and even cultures.

✓ Of all the many things you can be in your lifetime, be kind.

Story Prompt: When has someone extended kindness toward you? When have you extended kindness toward another? What did that feel like? What happened next? Write that story!
