The following is part of an email I received from Ely Shemer, which I thought I would share

Random Acts of Kindness - Get Supercharged with Kindness Motivation Tips

Are you looking for ideas or motivation tips to make a difference in your life or for someone else's life? Are you like most everyone and just don't have much time? Can you perform random acts of kindness every day?

Honestly, it doesn't take much time to brighten someone's life. A few minutes a day can make a difference to a person or a family. Just some kindness and the evidence that someone cares about them can turn their world around.

These motivation tips don't take much time, so begin to make a difference today! You'll feel better -- and so will the recipient of your kindness.

1. Send at least one e-mail (email is old technology, and used by us boomers for you younger folks, facebook or twitter once) a day telling someone:   how much they are appreciated thanking them for something they did for you telling them something you like about them You can also send beautiful, encouraging e-cards, by visiting http://www.togetherwecanchangetheworld.com  You'll find the right e-card for every occasion - these are not your usual, everyday e-cards!

2. Send a note of appreciation to your local Fire Station to encourage the people who make a difference in everyone's lives. This doesn't happen nearly enough for these people who put their lives on the line for all of us every day.

3. Have everyone in your family (even if it's just you) drop all their loose change in a large glass jar you keep on the counter. Every six months decide where to send it Make a family ritual out of the event and make a difference in someone's life almost effortlessly. (I suggest you donate the funds to the local food bank)

4. Buy a few extra items at your grocery store and drop them by your local homeless shelter or food bank. You'll make huge a difference, simply by adding a handful of extra items and a few minutes to your shopping.

I hope these kindness motivation tips help you realize together we CAN change the world - one kindness at a time!
