There are many ways to be financially generous at this time of year. If you have the means, and the willingness, to give that’s wonderful. But please don’t neglect to notice the many ways that you can help that are right under your nose and won’t cost a dime. There might be a mom behind you in line at the grocery store who is cramming in one more errand before she picks up the kids. Do you have a little extra time? Let her go first. Do you know a single parent who would appreciate a hand on a random weeknight?
Spreading kindness could be something as simple as smiling at the mom whose child is having a meltdown. She’s getting plenty of judgement. Be the kind voice in the crowd. Everyone has a need for kindness.
