Love Notes & Guerilla Art
I've been bloghopping this evening and found a scattering of lovely posts about sending Love Notes out into one's city...
It started with Jen Lemen, one of my favorite creativity and kindness bloggers. These are her Love Notes.
She reminded me of Keri Smith and I can't believe I've never linked to her How to be a Guerilla Artist manifesto.
Jen was inspired by her friend Krystyn, who spread some love around New York in response to watching the circus that responded to Heath Ledger's death outside her office building.
From her comments I found the Acts of Kindness blog. Yay, another sister in kindness!
I also found Titration's Guerilla Art Adventure.
Honestly, I haven't been so successful with my intentions towards daily kindness. I think I'll be doing my own version of love notes in the next few days. I was going to say "to make up for it" at the end of that sentence. But I need to be kind to myself and recognize that I tend to do things in bursts anyway...lots of activity and then big rests in between. And it's ok.

Isn't it something how someone can do something kind and people start talking about it, spreading it to their friends and beyond. I love how that works. Like a ripple in a pond. Kindness keeps on going and touches everything.
