“What Wisdom can you find that is greater than kindness?”
Jean Jacques Rousseau
Kindness. Just the word makes the corners of your mouth turn up just a bit into a smile. Without kindness there would be no charity or non-profits. It all starts with kindness.
So the other day as I was reading a magazine I came across the story of Patience Salgado, the Kindness Girl.
While, Patience doesn’t run a non-profit she helps people spread her message of random acts of kindness through her blog KindnessGirl.com. She shares basic ideas that she calls Guerrilla Goodness, which she describes as “intentional, anonymous acts of kindness performed in playful, creative ways for strangers, friends and family. Take a look.

Patience recently said in an interview, “The beauty and power of kindness, is that it doesn’t take a lot of money. It takes a willing heart.” That is Charity that matters in its truest form. Kindness and a willing heart.
