I found this on my sister’s Facebook page today and had to share it because it is so inspiring and beautiful.
She is a super-star, dedicated teacher and human being (obviously) and she came up with this idea to help a friend.
Feel free to share in this random act of kindness.

OK friends, it’s time for a three-word story challenge. I have a friend who is going through something intensely sad right now. Your job is to do this random act of kindness. In just THREE words, send an uplifting message. It can be something you’ve heard before (“Dare to dream”) or something you’ve made up. Hopefully your three words will travel right up to her and raise her spirits. Then, feel free to dole out the positive messages to others who cross your path.

Ready? Set? Go!

In case you are curious, some sample responses were:

“keep faith alive”

“Time heals all.”

“Strength is within”

“Open your heart.”

“Joy will return.”
