windsheild notes of encouragement
Grab some sheets of paper and cut them into quarters. Write on each a unique, anonymous message that will hopefully make just about anybody smile:
“Look in the mirror and you will see someone extraordinary.”
“It will all work out. (I promise!)”
“Hi there. I like you, very much.”
Now, gather all of the notes up, go to a crowded parking lot, and put the notes on random windshields, securing each with the windshield wiper. Vanish without a trace and know that you just made a few peoples’ days better!

Hi
I have never experienced an anonymous act of kindness. I’m not sure if I know anyone who ever has…
Perhaps I can at least give someone a moment like that.
Thank you

I love this idea! I’ve always loved writing small notes, but usually to people I know and I do sign off. Will try some anonymous ones. You’re doing good work with this blog!

This is the most beautiful thing.
I do random acts of kindness in the hopes of one days experiencing one for myself.

I had the worst day ever yesterday. My car got the boot, I had to pay $600 in parking/tow fees and I had to walk miles to the courthouse in order to do it!
Instead of sulking (Ok I sulked for a few minutes) I printed some of these bad boys out and put them on people’s cars. Spreading the love made me feel so much better. <3
