kindness mission. are you in?

Completely and totally inspired by this sign that I stumbled upon online, I decided to make some signs of my own - mine are a bit more artful/pretty but the original message is still so powerful just written on a piece of paper with a black pen, no?

True and I had the best time making color copies at Kinko's and heading around town putting these up in cafes, grocery stores, and more. I have to say, this is the best way to lift a tough mood, get inspired, and spread some love.

I say we all make signs like these and put them up in our neighborhoods, playgrounds, gyms, by atm machines, and on and on. Wouldn't that be awesome? If you do it, be sure to share yours on your blog - let's start a revolution. Because, you know, kindness changes everything.

ps: If you don't feel like making your own sign, feel free to download the one above that I made. Just click here to download the pdf, then just hit print, and off you go!

Speaking of kindness........

Meet Ashley. Writer. Inspirer. Crafter. Fashionista (hello, cute outfits!), and most importantly, owner of one very shiny heart. This girl is changing lives. I adore all that she is doing and I'd love it if you guys would go over to her site and flood her with some kindness.

She's on a mission to send some deserving students to college, all funded from her Shine Project. Her goal is to raise 20K by January, but I'm thinking we can help her raise more. Are you in? I'm in! I'm in!
Head on over to her site to learn more. Yay for kindness!

One more thing:
In our weekend sponsor post, we made a mistake and had an incorrect link for one of our new sponsors, Jennifer Rizzo. Her site is definitely one to check out (I've been a huge fan of her home decor for a long time), so please be sure to click over. Here's what she says about her biz:

My name is Jennifer Rizzo and I am a rediscovered artist. I’ve been drawing, painting and creating ever since I could remember. For a long time I had pushed my gifts aside and it’s only been in the last few years that I’ve truly embraced them.

One of my passions is home décor and vintage items. I love to artfully create and find items that make a home beautiful and unique. In my shop I carry items such as tea towels, pillows, jewelry, vintage dishware and silver. Most of my items have a vintage flair. My Fall line is called The Vintage Tea Collection and I am so excited to be able to share it with you. You can view my collection at my Etsy store: Jennifer Rizzo or on my blog Jenniferrizzo.com
