In honor of the 26 who died at Sandy Hook Elementary School a week ago today I have been participating in #26Acts. For each person who died I am doing something kind. Some are small...like a positive message with a dollar bill attached and some are bigger...like giving to may favorite charity in memory of one of the victims. I am making sure that each one is associated with a specific name in the hopes that they will not be forgotten.
Getting ready to start:
Here's something I painted as a Christmas gift for my mom a few years ago but never got around to sharing here:
Here is my list of the kindness acts so far. I'm not counting the cookies and chocolates because they didn't have a victim's name attached and I strongly feel the need to associate a name to each kindness. I still feed good about brightening those guys day, though, they work hard!
Happy Holidays to All!
Wonderful painting and random acts of kindness!
