There’s a lot of sadness and hurt and tension in our world right now. Social media, and even our offline lives, are full to the brim of stress, disagreements, frustrations, uncertainty, confusion, division, and even anger. Life is tough.

Life is also beautiful. So beautiful. Amongst the pain and hurt and sadness that life can throw our way, life also is full of joy and hope and laughter and smiles and hugs and beauty. So much beauty. 

As you guys know, Carly and I team up each week to do more than host our link up. Our mission, together, is to encourage everyone to #LetItShine and to bring to light brands, causes, or people that are giving back, making a difference in the community, or just making the world a better place.

This week, Carly and I are working together to ENCOURAGE you guys to give back in your own communities. You can do this alone, with a friend, spouse, and/or with your children.

We have a colorable Acts of Love calendar that is meant to get your WHOLE family involved in serving local families this February! Our hope and prayer is that this inspires you to serve together! You guys were so receptive to the 25 Random Acts of Kindness back in December, that Carly and I thought this would be a good way to keep the kindness going. 

Let’s face it… our communities need more kindness than ever.

Now, on to you guys…..our favorites last week?
