Happy Friday and Happy World Kindness Day everyone! Today (and everyday) is a great day to celebrate kindness, spread kindness and spread love. It's amazing how so little can go so far when it comes to simply being kind.

When I was in college, two girls I went to Pepperdine with started the Kind Campaign, a campaign dedicated to ending girl-on-girl bullying. Today, they have turned Kind Campaign into a world-wide campaign that spreads kindness, love and awareness. Side-note - go check them out, join the movement and start spreading kindness.

I have to be honest, while I've been bullied, I've also bullied. It's something I'm not proud of, but the reality of it is that most girls in their life have been the cause and the victim. But the best part, we can change it. We have the power to change it and change the lives of young girls and boys everywhere.
