  • #24DaysofKindness: Day 24. (And lessons learned).

    Woah. 24days are done as of today. That was FAST. There have been many moments when I’ve questioned why I’ve been doing #24DaysofKindness. At times it’s felt self-congratulatory. And blogging about some subjects has made me feel uncomfortable with the whole premise of this project. The biggest learn by far is that this is not…

    #24DaysofKindness: Day 23

    Made some Christmas presents. (Shhhh!). See yesterday’s #DayofKindness.  

  • #24DaysofKindness: Day 21

    I called a friend who’s had some recent disappointment. Just to check in. She’s important in my life. And I want her to always be in it. She’s shown strength for me as I have for her. And she’s far stronger than she realises. xxx Check out yesterday’s #DayofKindness.

    #24DaysofKindness: Day 19

    Today? This. Check out yesterday’s Triple Dose of kindness.  

  • #24DaysofKindness: Day 15

    Today I gave a homeless man a cup of tea. He was cold and ignored at the train station. And he was incredibly grateful for a simple hot drink. It feels wrong to blog more about this, so I’m going to stop this post here. See yesterday’s #DayofKindness.

  • #24DaysofKindness: Day 14

    #24DaysofKindness: Day 14

    With 14 days down, I keep thinking I’m running out of ideas. And like everyone right now, my time is short. Mounting to-dos before Christmas. Battling horrendous commutes. Demands from every direction. It’s no wonder I – we – feel stressed. But that’s nothing even close to what some others have to deal with –…

  • #24DaysofKindness DOUBLE DOSE

    #24DaysofKindness DOUBLE DOSE

    It’s day 13. I’m behind. Behind on posts only – not kindness. Over the last couple of days I’ve been travelling. And a sign ‘spoke’ to me in Berlin. This one… For Day 12’s #DayofKindness, I posted this snap on Instagram. And with it? A message of positivity. The same message the sign ‘gave’ me, I share with…

    #24DaysofKindness: Day 11

    I made a Day of the Dead skull as a thank you for this lovely lady. She’s cut my hair for years – thanks, Jacqui! #24DaysofKindness See yesterday’s #DayofKindness.  

  • #24DaysofKindness: Day 10

    I helped a WiFi-less stranger find his way in London. He was looking for a store called Whatever it Takes. (Coincidental name indeed). A quick search and I sent him on his merry way from Soho to Shoreditch. Boom. Another day done. See yesterday’s #DayofKindness.

    #24DaysofKindness: Day 9

    Posted a good friend keepsakes for her new babies. See what yesterday’s #DayofKindness.

  • #24DaysofKindness: Day 8

    I had a shitty morning yesterday. It was all the fault of the train gods. (Seriously #southernfail? How hard is it to get trains right? HOW HARD?). It’s safe to say everything that could have went wrong, did. And also a case of, ‘the less said the better’. Get this though: what happened next turned…

    #24DaysofKindness: Day 7

    My desk buddy revealed, in a passing comment, her favourite crisps. So I picked them up for her. See yesterday’s #DayofKindness.

    Whoops. Skipped a day so it’s #24DaysofKindness Double Dose

    I didn’t mean to overlook Day 4 – quite the opposite. I just got a bit eager beaver and ahead of myself. So… KINDNESS DOUBLE DOSE TIME. To catch up on Day 4: I paid for a homeless person to enjoy Christmas dinner with Crisis. Do the same here. I also discovered a pretty cool…
