Description:

Spring is almost here, and it's a great time to spread some random acts of kindness to celebrate!

I think it'd be fun to do one or two random acts of kindness this week. A random act of kindness is defined as "a selfless act performed by a person wishing to either assist or cheer up a person or a group of people".

A few examples:

Write someone in your life a nice note

Hand out flowers

Bake cookies for someone

Give a big tip

Thank your teachers/colleagues/coworkers

Give someone a compliment

Make a nice card for someone

Take someone to dinner

Call an old friend and check in with them

Donate to a cause you like

Volunteer for a few hours

Give away some of your belongings

Help a neighbor with yard work

So for this swap, you guys would do one or two (or more!) random acts of kindness, then send a letter to your partner describing what you did, maybe even with photos or a drawing if you want to go above and beyond :)

And if you like, your random act of kindness could even be directed to your partner, by sending a nice note, a drawing, or a small gift!

This swap is open to newbies, we need as much kindness out there as we can get! I'll angel if anything falls apart.

I'd love to hear about your random acts of kindness, so send me a message too if you want! Good luck everyone :)

hello! we have RAK email swaps that happen weekly for those who prefer to email instead of snail mail - next one is Weekly RAK #122 - Random Acts of Kindness

That sounds good, memtree! I'm gonna do both :)

Just an FYI... this swap idea is pretty great. I see that you are new so I've invited you to the Newbie Helpers group that I help with. The group gives tips/hints and the do's and don'ts for new members as they begin their journey on SB. It really is helpful and I hope you join.

I do want to caution you that a 3.00 rating is severely low. @phoenyx if she were still around would qualify for this swap and that wouldn't be someone you'd EVER want in your swap. Most good participants here wouldn't have below a 4.90 rating and anything lower is not looking out for the people that will join your swap. You may want to re-consider that requirement.

Thanks! I'll definitely think about it, but I just really want everyone to be able to try to redeem themselves, and I'm willing to angel as many as necessary! Thanks for looking out for me :)
