Hello lovelies and welcome February!
I hope you had a joy-filled January. I find it quite a tough month after all the busyness and excitement of the festive season. It’s pretty much guaranteed that I have a CFS symptom flare-up and am grateful I can cosy up and hibernate in order to rest, recuperate and recharge.
I’m so thankful for the growing longer hours of daylight! I’m definitely not a winter girl, and am ready to start seeing signs of spring. I’ll be keeping a beady eye out for snowdrops, daffodils and crocuses over the next few weeks!

Have a fun+fabulous February; it’s Random Acts of Kindness Week starting on the 11th, culminating in Random Acts of Kindness Day on Saturday 17th February – so the perfect opportunity to spread the word and go kindness crazy!!
And let’s not forget to be kind to ourselves too, we are definitely worth it!
Love+hugs, Helen Xxx
As always, I try to make the acts on my Kindness Calendars quick, easy and cheap (well, mostly free actually). So anyone and everyone can join in. You may want to mix it up and swap the acts around, adapt the acts to suit you, or even create your own kindness acts. And don’t worry if you can’t do an act of kindness every single day, sometimes it’s just not possible as I know too well with the nature of my CFS flare ups. But even if every one of us manages to do just one kindness act on one day this month - imagine how amazing that would be! Again, it would be really brilliant and deeply appreciated if you could share this with family, friends, work colleagues, classmates… and share all over social media.😊 Every single extra act of kindness counts, and together we are making the world a kinder place. So let’s get as many people as we can involved. And don’t forget to join me on my kindness community page on Facebook, and if you post about your kindness act, please use the hashtag #KindnessCalendar so we can all keep track of all the wonderful kindness we are sharing. Thank you so much for spreading a little more kindness. ☆♡☆

Hello lovelies ♡
I’m so excited to be launching this year’s Kindness Advent Calendar on World Kindness Day (Monday 13th November).
I have to be admit, I’m still amazed at the incredible response to last year’s Kindness Advent Calendar, which has been downloaded over 500,000 times.
Please forgive me for repeating, but that’s an astonishing HALF A MILLION TIMES!!
I’m hugely grateful and excited at the thought of all the extra kindness being spread all over the world.
And it’s all thanks to lovely you, the kind folk who shared the calendar with friends, family, colleagues, on social media, and who joined in all the kindness act advent fun.
This is absolutely proof of the ripple effect of kindness and it really couldn’t have happened without you so THANK YOU.
I know your acts of kindness make a huge difference and help to brighten others’ day. I also think that particularly during these times of trouble and turmoil, it’s a beautiful way to show there is still good in the world.
So I’d like to invite lovely you and yours to join me spreading a little kindness again this year.
For anyone new to my Kindness Advent Calendars, they work just like a normal advent calendar but instead of the usual chocolate countdown, we are embracing the true spirit of Christmas by doing 24 random acts of festive kindness.
And you can download it here for FREE:

This year, I wanted to add something a little extra, and after receiving lots of requests from parents and teachers alike, and seeing how much my young nephews enjoy helping me with my kindness acts, I’ve created a special Kindness Advent Calendar for KIDS to follow.
WooHooo!
It’s such a fun and easy way for teachers and parents to get children involved in spreading a little kindness in the lead up to Christmas, and a lovely way of showing children what a positive impact they can have on the world.
I ran my calendar past a brilliantly talented teacher (thank you lovely Michelle) who gave me some helpful feedback. And I’m very excited to be teaming up with my nephews’ primary school, which should be oodles of fun.
And you can download it here for FREE:
If you work with children and need a non-Christmas themed Kindness Calendar, I’ve created a generic Kindness Advent Calendar for KIDS. Please click here to download.

I know December is an extra busy month for most of us, and we can find ourselves rushing around trying to get everything ready in time for the Christmas holiday, so I’ve made the acts on my Kindness Calendars quick, easy and cheap (well, mostly free actually). So anyone and everyone can join in.
You may want to mix it up and swap the acts around, adapt the acts to suit you, or even create your own kindness acts. And don’t worry if you can’t do an act of kindness every single day, sometimes it’s just not possible as I know too well with the nature of my Chronic Fatigue Syndrome flare ups.
But even if every one of us manages to do just one kindness act on one day this month – imagine how amazing that would be!
Again, it would be really brilliant and deeply appreciated if you could share this with family, friends, work colleagues, classmates… and share all over social media. 🙂
Every single extra act of kindness counts, together we are making the world a kinder place. So let’s get as many people as we can involved.
And don’t forget to join me on my kindness community page ‘Spreading A Little Kindness’ on Facebook, and if you post about your kindness act, please use the hashtag #KindnessCalendar so we can all keep track of all the wonderful kindness we are sharing.
Wishing you a dazzling December and a fun festive season, and let’s remember to be kinder to ourselves as well, we are definitely worth it!
Thank you so much for spreading a little more kindness.
Love, Helen

p.s. I’d love to hear about your kindness experiences in the comments below…
☆ My local newspaper featured a teaser for my Kindness Advent Calendars. You can read about it here.
☆ On World Kindness Day, I spoke to the very lovely Mark Dennison live on BBC Radio Nottingham about kindness. I was a little nervous and rambled a little bit, but you can listen to it here:
☆ Fellow acts of kindness enthusiast, Travis Mayfield featured my Kindness Advent Calendar on his Seattle’s Morning TV Show Q13 Fox. You can watch the brilliant clip by clicking here.

IF YOU’D PREFER A NON-CHRISTMAS VERSION, I’VE ADAPTED MY KINDNESS CALENDAR AND YOU CAN DOWNLOAD IT HERE:
Hello lovelies,
I’ve received quite a few requests from people who work with children and want to share my Kindness Advent Calendar for KIDS – but aren’t allowed to feature it because of the use of the words ‘Advent’ and ‘Christmas’.
So I’ve edited them out of my original Kindness Advent Calendar for KIDS and created a generic, non-Christmas version:
☆♡☆
If you’d like a non-Christmas version for grown ups, I’ve added it to the bottom of the main Kindness Advent Calendar blog post here:
Hello lovelies and a huge shiny welcome to November ♡
I hope October overflowed with kindness for you, and you are ready to greet this brand new month and all that it brings.
I hope for those of you in the southern hemisphere you’re enjoying the warmer days of spring, and in the northern hemisphere you’re enjoying Mother Nature’s stunning display of autumnal colours, here’s a few snaps I took at my favourite Japanese Garden last week:
Onto some fun and interesting facts about our new month ahead:
