My summer just got a cherry on top of it in the form of an experience that was thrilling and unforgettable.  I think you should stop what you’re doing as soon as possible and go do this too.  

Our 16 Days of Kindness Challenge began on Monday and is making ripples far and wide. I have heard from people I know all over the country who have been inspired by it and are joining in.

Since I saw the documentary about Mr. Rogers last week, I’ve been thinking about how radical kindness can be (in both the sense of being “rad,” which is one of my favorite words, but also in terms of being capable of making real change in the world).

I can’t get Mr. Rogers off my mind. I saw the documentary about him, called “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” this week, and I can’t stop thinking about it.
