You know what’s fun? Joining forces with a bunch of awesome people to show others what kindness can do.
I can’t thank everyone who participated in #SparkleFriday enough. Your efforts to brighten Black Friday and warm my family’s new home were heartfelt, thought-provoking and impactful.
As a group, you brought food and clothing to homeless people, purchased toys for children who wouldn’t otherwise receive gifts this holiday season, cared for animals in need, gave anonymous gifts and encouraging notes to strangers, babysat for a couple so they could enjoy a well-deserved date night, reconnected with loved ones, donated to worthy charities, cleaned up after others’ animals, created art to deliver to a nursing home, took on added housework so loved ones could sleep in, prioritized self-care and more. More than once, I was touched to tears. I hope you gained at least as much joy and warmth as you gave!
And now, to announce our prize winners! The #SparkleFriday gift packs from Good Clean Love go to…
