Spread Kindness everyday with everyone and everywhere!
One of our goals is to add to the ever growing movement of positivity. We believe that kindness always wins. With that we want to influence the world to intentionally seek out ways to be kind to others every day. Most importantly, we want to encourage you to react with love and kindness in the face of darkness and negativity. As the great Martin Luther King Jr. said:
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."
