March 26 - Pay It Forward

Day 85 of a year of Kindness

I gave money. I’m on the board of The Roots of Compassion and Kindness Center at Florida Gulf Coast University. The director, Maria Roca, gave me the opportunity to teach my kindness class about the research and science of kindness for three years. Today is Give Day at the university. An amazing board member is matching every dollar with two dollars. So, if you give $25, the center will get $75.It’s hard to believe in many organizations these days but I believe in this one. Maria and her team teach and build kindness, compassion and empathy within the university and throughout the community. It’s such important work right now. I’m so proud of the center and the team’s efforts. The money allows them to literally spread and increase kindness. If you want to spread kindness, please consider giving a few dollars as well: https://donate.fgcu.edu/g/rock/

Science of kindness: Research shows that giving is good for you. If you can find a way to share some of what you have with others, both you and the recipient will reap the benefits. And if it benefits kindness, even better! #kindness #kindnessiscontagious @10kindnessclub #kindnessisfree #fgcy #rock #wingsup
