Let's Play Mind Games

A simple act of kindness can change a person's day, bring a smile to their face, impact a life -- maybe even yours. So, why not be kind?  This February, we celebrate the month of love and on February 17th join us in the day of National Random Acts of Kindness.  We talk with the founder of Sparks of Kindness, Debbie Lowe McFarland, who has ignited sparks of kindness in our community and across the globe. Her Facebook Group has more than 8,000 members bringing kindness to the communities they live in.  We discuss small ways you can bring kindness to the people you meet every day.  How you can be a better friend or family member. And, how to teach your children to be kinder as well.  After you listen to the podcast, visit us on our Instagram page or send us a direct message and tell us your Spark of Kindness this month.  Join the Sparks of Kindness Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/747076662042246 Random Acts of Kindness Foundation Page:   https://www.randomactsofkindness.org/ Studio at Cedar Hill website: https://www.thestudioatcedarhill.com/
