Random Acts of Kindness
Updated: Oct 24, 2022
It was just “National Random Acts of Kindness Day”. Apparently, the entire week has been earmarked for random acts of kindness. Hmmm….. Do we really need a designated day or week to remind us to be kind? That seems a bit sad to me but, given everyday events in the news and the tone of the current political discourse in our country, it certainly couldn’t hurt. Mary Fisher, an activist, artist and philanthropist, created the 100 GoodDeeds bracelet as a way to mark our kind acts every day. I had the privilege of meeting Mary almost 2 years ago and fell in love with these bracelets that she created and what they symbolize. Every time you do a good deed, you move the marker over one of the 100 beads. She calls it a game, saying that the only rule is that you can’t tell anyone that you’ve done a good deed. According to Mary, “a good deed means we’ve gone out of our way to help someone and only counts if the deed remains anonymous.” No attention, no public pats on the back — just a way to make good deeds and acts of kindness come a bit more to the forefront of our minds. 100% of the proceeds from the sale of these bracelets goes back to the vulnerable women in Africa who made them. Definitely a huge good deed — and I love that it’s quite intentional.
Totally agree, kindness shouldn't be limited to one day! It's about everyday actions. If you're looking for creative tools, Free Photo to Video Maker AI is worth a look.
I love that Mary Fisher refers to tracking good deeds as a "game" with the anonymous rule – it makes kindness feel like a personal challenge! Sometimes after focusing on serious things, it's nice to unwind with a little mental puzzle. I've been enjoying the MeowdoKu Game Online for a fun way to relax.
Tom Wang's approach to curating heartwarming visuals for his blog really resonates with the spirit of this post. Capturing and enhancing images to convey a message of kindness is so important. For anyone looking to create unique visuals, I've had some fun experimenting with the Zeva AI Image Generator to bring ideas to life.
Mary Fisher's concept of the 100 GoodDeeds bracelet is fantastic for promoting daily kindness. Sometimes after a long day, I like to put on a knee brace support just to feel more stable when I'm moving around. It's become a nice part of my routine.
It's wonderful that 100% of the proceeds from the bracelets support vulnerable women in Africa, making the whole initiative even more impactful. I often capture moments like these on my phone, and sometimes dealing with different image and video formats can be a hassle. I recently discovered Heic to MP4 for quickly handling those conversions.
