Kindness Adds Up

Posted on May 7, 2012 by Layla Morgan Wilde

It’s Mondays with Merlin, or Professor Merlin, your math teacher. Today’s lesson is easy and simple. Do something nice. Be kind to 6 people (friends, family, strangers in person or online). Tell them to pass it on. Those 6 turns into 36, then those 36 turns into 216 and so on and so on. It can be a small and simple as saying thank-you, share a cookie and a smile, do a favor, unasked, give a compliment…it all adds up! Class dismissed. I have some tasty business to attend to.

It’s officially Be Kind to Animals Week too! For more on being kind to animals visit the Humane Society

   Me and Austin say “Be kind to animals (and people) every week!”

   It doesn’t hurt to be kind
   It doesn’t hurt to smile
   It doesn’t hurt, so I don’t mind
   To go the extra mile!

   Sorry, it’s late and I am about to fall asleep lol xox

   It always makes me a little sad that there is a need for “Be King to Animals Week” – in an ideal world, nobody would have to be reminded by a national campaign to be kind to animals every day.

   I LOVE this photo of Merlin!

    Did you know this week is Be Kind to Animals Week, or is it just a coincidence? I posted about it… but you know my take on it has its own Sparkle-type spin!
