"Friendships between women, as any woman will tell you, are built of a thousand small kindnesses....swapped back and forth and over again." - Michelle Obama
How will you be showing your appreciation to these ladies this year as Mother's Day approaches? Will you buy them a gift? We all love shiny objects and the gift of giving is just wonderful. But small acts of kindness can also speak a thousand words. Have you considered that?
Here are a few ideas for you, imagine how you might feel if someone did that for you.
- Record a voice note telling someone how much their friendship or love means to you, go one step further and do a little video for them.
- Pay them an unexpected compliment
- Share a nice photo of them on social media and tell them how grateful you are for their love.
- Pick up the phone to someone you wouldn't normally chat to, just to say hi and ask how they are.
- Offer to babysit so they can have some time to themselves.
- Leave notes of gratitude around their house.
- Weed their garden
- Wash their car (or take through the car wash)
There are so many tiny acts of kindness. Just think what would make someone feel special.
