Yes, I’m one of the people who cries when I see random acts of kindness videos, I have a soft spot in my heart for kindness!
I know how much a little kindness has affected my life, and I don’t often see it happening in the world around me. Change starts with us as individuals doing our part, one person at a time.
Kindness doesn’t have to be something that costs you lots of money. Here are 20 frugal acts of kindness you can offer to loved ones, family members and even those you don’t know.

Have an amazing day today, and every day,
This is such a timely amd relevant piece. In a world that thrives on negativity (at times) it is so important for us to show acts of kindness OFTEN. This is needed now more than ever especially for me as a mom desiring to raise children who are compassionate, caring, and loving. My babies learn a lot by way of watching my actions and they need to see me (us) showing kindness. What a helpful and timely reminder. Thank you for sharing your heart with us!
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment Ni’Tasha! Yes it’s so important for our little ones to see us showing kindness and instilling these types of values in them!
