Kindness wins, pass it on!

Kindness wins, pass it on!
Random Acts of Kindness day!  What would it be like if we set out to perform random acts of kindness EVERY day?  It makes me feel good to make people smile and give them a lift, especially when it's unexpected or even anonymous.  

The idea of Random Acts of Kindness day got the wheels spinning in my head of things that I could do.  I would LOVE to see your ideas in the comments below!  

1.  Leave inspiring notes on cars before I leave the grocery store.
2. Put notes of appreciation in jacket pockets or lunchboxes for the family to find later.
3. Help someone find what they need at the grocery store.
4. Leave home made cookies in someone's mailbox with a note of thanks or inspiration.
5. Leave a $5 gift card for someone you appreciate.  

I could sit here thinking of more things, but I better get to making those cookies!  

To make it super simple for you to do too, I've made this cute printable so you can give at least 4 notes of kindness to someone today!  

Don't forget to drop your ideas for some random acts of kindness in the comments for me! 




Hi, I'm Gwen Reed....

 
I'm so glad you're here!

Let me share a little about my journey.

For years, I felt completely overwhelmed by the demands of life—juggling kids' activities, volunteering, work, cooking, laundry, and cleaning. I was constantly forgetting things (or even a kid or two 🤣) and felt like I was barely holding it all together. By midday, I was completely drained, riding the highs and lows of sugar crashes.

I knew something had to change. I needed to get a handle on the chaos and shake the feeling of failure that had crept in. So, I decided to ask for help and seek out ways to simplify life. I became a student again—researching, learning, and exploring how to shift my mindset and regain control.

I had already started incorporating more holistic practices into our family’s lifestyle, but then something transformative happened. I was introduced to a trusted product that completely revolutionized how we clean our home. And on top of that, I discovered the secret to beating my afternoon energy crashes!

With the right blend of gratitude, a more balanced schedule, and a renewed focus on health, I’ve finally found a rhythm that works.

Now, I'm on a mission to empower other overwhelmed moms. I want to share the tools, tips, and knowledge I've gained to help you fill your cup with joy, gratitude, and healthier choices.
