Kindness can be contagious. Committing a random act of kindness (RAK) can be as simple as sharing veggies from your garden, complimenting a coworker on an attractive new tie, or praising the manners of a parent’s exceptionally well-behaved child.

A Heart of Humility Creates Ripples Far and Wide
Merriam-Webster defines humility as “freedom from pride or arrogance”—and humility, it seems, has gone out of fashion. Modern society seems to encourage character traits that fly in the face of humility, such as narcissism, entitlement, and self-centeredness.
