    For those who aren't familiar - this marks the beginning of the annual Random Acts of Kindness (RAK) Week, a time to highlight the importance of making kindness the norm, every day.

    I encourage us all to reflect on this important message, especially this year. I challenge us all to pick one of the attached bingo cards and see if we can get bingo before the end of the week by spreading kindness. #kindnessbingochallenge

    I love this challenge and it's such a great way to bring more kindness into our everyday lives. This week, I'm focusing on spreading a little extra kindness by sending some unexpected thank-you notes to colleagues and offering support wherever I can. It's amazing how small acts can make a big difference!

    I'm looking forward to getting a bingo by the end of the week!

    I love your plan! I'm really trying for BINGO too - my big thing this week is GRACE - offering it to myself and everyone around me. I just keep staring at that post-it note on my computer and I keep repeating the mantra "breath in kindness, exhale chaos"...let's see if it helps...
