Have you ever been in a situation when you thought:  “Okay, this person is definitely flirting with me,”- but it turns out, they were just being nice?

Admit it, we’ve all been there. 

Someone shows us kindness, and all of a sudden, we’re convinced they’re in love with us.

It has become so unusual, even rare, for people to show kindness and expect nothing in return- that when someone goes out of their way, or above and beyond, we immediately assume that we must be getting married, or that they’re an axe murderer waiting to kill us.

Kindness is hot, but easily misinterpreted, and that’s kind of a problem. 

Let’s talk about it!

• Finding self kindness in a world that doesn't always prioritize it
• Navigating honesty and authenticity in an increasingly digital world
• Prioritizing kindness and compassion, especially during hard times

Kicking off our Kindness Stories series is a story from a few years ago that inspires us to go out of our way to make someone's day feel special!

Sometimes just one gesture (and a kiss from a Blue Man!!) is all you need to make a memory that will last a lifetime :)
