Talking to people about kindness is a joy! Every time I do it, I realise just how much fun I’m having & how much it makes me smile.

At the University of Reading’s community festivals we ran an activity called ‘Share Your Story’ asking visitors to tell us about acts of kindness they had been involved in using words or pictures. We had so many fantastic, uplifting conversations. We heard about kindness such as:

Kindness is often underestimated, mistaken for something soft. In reality, it’s one of the most powerful life skills we have. Kindness creates space for trust, growth, and sustainable progress. It sharpens listening, strengthens boundaries, and reminds us that self-care is foundational, not optional. When you practice kindness toward yourself and others, capacity expands. Impact follows. The quiet miracle? Kindness multiplies, expanding all good things.

My right hand holding a mug of hot cocoa aloft. On the side are the words BE KIND, rendered in blue and green letters. In soft focus, visible in the background is a shelf with my ring light, a lamp, and a yellow mug into which I have placed various LGBTQIA and transgender flags.

When we offer care and support to people facing any of life’s myriad challenges, we lift ourselves up at the same time.

A drawing shows six cats in a pile on a blanket - one cat is sitting up and looking at the viewer, two are playing, the others are sleeping. Above the cats is a window that looks out on a snowy scene.

Holding both your hands
Through ice, fire, flood, drought, famine.
Even more fiercely.

Don’t let them divide us.

“A small act but I appreciate it as a person living on Social Security. Aldi’s the grocery store charges $.25 for the use of their carts.. as I was walking toward the cart row a lady came up to me & said do you need a cart? as she was rolling hers from her car. I said yes I do & tried to give her a quarter. She said no thank you, you have a nice day.

I smiled & thanked her. When I was done with it, I passed it on to the next person coming towards the store.”

No #kindness is too small!

three rows of trolleys, shopping carts, outside an Aldi. There is a mural on the wall with a blue background and citrus fruits on it. And a sign on the other wall that says quarter in quarter back.
