After going through a world pandemic together, the word contagious is now especially a nasty one no one typically wants to hear. That is, however; with the exception of when it comes to something as positive as kindness.
When we do an act of kindness, receive an act of kindness, or witness an act of kindness it is indeed contagious; it makes us want to be more kind. Catching kindness is something even your doctor will recommend because there are positive mental and physical health benefits. It’s the “good” kind of contagious and isn’t it such a relief, after the journey we have all been on, to hear about a “good” kind of contagious?
So, I encourage you to catch it. I believe, so strongly, that we need more attention on the good of the world and spreading kindness is a great remedy for that. I think that if we get intentional about spreading more kindness, the possibility of lives being positively impacted are endless. One little thing can go such a long way. Your little act of kindness can help someone find their smile and maybe even help them see the power their smile can bring to the world.
Unfortunately, there are too many people out there today that don’t believe in the power of their smile. Maybe a kindness pandemic is in order. To all of you out there already doing good, kudos to you! You truly are an inspiration to me. Let’s unite and spread this kindness thing as far as we can. Too often we hear about the bad and not the good. Too often the enemy wins and quite frankly, I ‘m sick of it. We’ve all seen the bad wreak havoc, kindness is contagious and can make a difference especially, if we’re in it together.
I believe in the power of a smile, your smile, and KNOW that together, we really can help make a huge difference in the world! That is what we’re all about at the Sharing Smiles Project. So, TOGETHER, let’s encourage others when we see them struggling. Let’s give smiles whenever we can. Let’s judge less and most of all, love more.
I sincerely am honored for your time. If you wouldn’t mind, send us picture of you smiling. I hope to show them in future posts just like this and every photo received will be entered to win a free Sharing Smiles Journal. The Sharing Smiles Project is a labor of love by my husband Mike and I. If you would like to learn more about us, please visit us at www.sharingsmilesproject.com.
I hope you have a beautiful day, God Bless!

Think about it…happiness is the only thing that multiplies when shared! How beautiful is that?! It really does multiply, and it doesn’t take a lot of hard work or tons of money to make happen. Simple things like a smile, an encouraging word, a note, a hug, maybe a meal are all small things that can help in a major way.
When we see an opportunity for kindness, I think, we should try to get in the habit of doing it. I believe when we get that urge to do something nice, it's God nudging us. Even those times when maybe it feels a little crazy or inconvenient that we should just trust our intuition, do it, and see what happens. Who knows, our one simple act could literally change someone’s day. Maybe it will introduce us to someone we are supposed to meet. Maybe we’ll learn something new or help teach something new and not even realize it. Maybe we’ll never even know, but the act will also lift us up.
Doing kind things for others definitely does not only help the other person. It feels great and the happiness multiplies in both directions. I loved this message from the first time I ever heard it because it’s true! I actually liked it so much that we put it on page six of the Sharing Smiles Journal; the Journal Introduction page! I love the idea of happiness multiplying! What more could we ask for? How happy of a world would it be if less energy was spent on the bad and more on the good? Oh, and as an added bonus, there really is a happiness bystander effect. People who witness acts of kindness positively benefit as well.
See, I believe in the power of us. I believe we need more attention on the good of the world and, I think, to be intentional about spreading more happy. I believe in the power of a smile, your smile, and KNOW that together, we really can help make a huge difference in the world! So, TOGETHER, let’s encourage others when we see them struggling. Let’s give smiles whenever we can. Let’s judge less and most of all, love more.
I sincerely am honored for your time. If you wouldn’t mind, send us picture of you smiling.

Truly, your smile is your superpower. It’s THE superpower that the enemy doesn’t want to you to know about. Your smile, yes yours, holds power. Your smile can spread cheer, it can welcome others, it can ease nerves, it can help erase tension, it can encourage, it can start friendships, it can communicate beyond language barriers, it can help a total stranger get through what might be one of their toughest moments. It can do so much good.
Even if you don’t like your skin, your teeth, or maybe that scar on your face, your smile is beautiful. It is there is no double about it, and the more you smile, the more others want to smile, and the positive chain reaction just keeps going. That’s why I know like I know your smile can change the world for the better.
I get it, there’s a lot of bad in the world. There are a lot of things we just don’t understand and sometimes that makes it easy to focus on the negative. Somedays, it’s easy to find things to complain about but, what does that really solve?
If you look for it, there are reasons all around us to smile. Some days we have to look harder than others; and that’s ok. That’s why I’m writing this; because we need one another, to lift each other up and to remind one another of that superpower within. That special magical gift that we each have at any given moment to gift to others.
Have you ever heard that term “the world has gone to hell in a handbasket”? Well, I disagree. I believe there is more good in the world than bad. I believe everyone deserves to be happy and I believe in happy endings. I believe in what people can accomplish together. I believe in you and the power of your smile. Do you? If not, I’m telling you the time is now.
So, TOGETHER, let’s get this message out. Let’s encourage others when we see them struggling. Let’s give smiles whenever we can. Let’s practice kindness more, smile more, and most of all love more.

One thing that we have come across is that, many times, when planning an act of kindness, it’s easy to overthink. With the Sharing Smiles Journal, we ask recipients to fill out a basic information page then pass the journal along with an act of kindness. It can be a random or planned act of kindness really, we are just looking to inspire more kindness in the world and keep the journal moving on it’s mission for making people smile. In our experience, and I’m guessing yours too, we have learned that sometimes the most thoughtful acts of kindness are the most meaningful and they don’t require a lot of time or money.
If you are looking for a way to spread some love and kindness in the world, here are 52 ideas for acts of kindness guaranteed to share smiles!
Know that with your smile, talents and creativity, the possibilities are endless to help brighten the world with kindness.
