Advent Calendar of Kindness - December's Pop-Up
As a kid, I always loved the tradition of an advent calendar. For me it wasn't so much the religious aspect of Advent, but the joy of opening a little door on a cardboard calendar to find a small surprise. Some years there were advent calendars with candy. Other years, the doors simply revealed holiday pictures. Always, there was joy.
Although this year, I'm not together enough to have created an old school advent calendar with little perforated doors, I invite you to use this printable Advent Calendar of Kindness to create joy through kindness. For the next twenty-five days, choose an ARK to complete each day and spread some joy and kindness. Yes, the "calendar" is numbered because it's a calendar, but pick and choose as you see fit. Go in order, completing and ARK each day. Or print it out, cut up the squares and choose a different one each day for a little spontaneity in your life. It doesn't matter how you use it; it's just about practicing kindness and experiencing the joy you both give and receive through the act.
Feel free to post your experiences and reactions on Social Media to increase the impact that these small acts can have. Invite others to join the fun. Be sure to tag us - #ryliesarmyofangels #adventcalendarofkindness

Small Words... BIG IMPACT
Looking for a fun way to practice kindness? Use small words to create a BIG IMPACT. The goal is to create notes of encouragement that can be carried with you and left on cars in parking lots, or at the table for your server, in the seat on the plane, etc. The sky is the limit.
We have a template (linked below) that can be used to create these cards.
So let's work together to watch kindness grow - today and always. Take pictures are you make the notes and when you leave them behind. Tag your photos and let's fill social media with positivity.
