Day 2: Greet a stranger
Posted by | Filed under Series
Haven't heard of the 30 Days of Kindness? Click here to find out more. Just starting? That's okay! Feel free to start this challenge right in the middle. You can make up the days you missed through November, if you like.
Greet a stranger. Say "hi" or "how are you?" or "how has your day been?" to someone you don't know. A complete stranger. I want you to be sure to sound sincere and genuine when you greet this person. Be sure to smile! Make someone feel like you truly care about how they're doing.
This should still be a fairly easy challenge. Greet the cashier at a store. Greet someone when you pass them on the sidewalk. Waiting in line at the bus stop? Start up a conversation. There are billions of people in this world that you do not know. It should be fairly easy to find one of them.
After you're done, share your stories below! If you have a picture or video with the stranger you greeted, feel free to comment with the link and I'll share it on this blog for everyone to see.
Tune in later today to see what my friends and I did for today's act of kindness.
TOMORROW: Compliment a stranger!

Emily.....aw....
First, I'm on SUSIE magaizine, so we've already chatted a bit:)
I've been following your blog for a few weeks, and they are such an encouragement to me! Lately in my life (and especially as a writer) I've been feeling dry...almost dead in a way. But reading your blog, looking at your pictures from your mission trip, its been incredible. Reading someone elses work. Reading about some one else day, it's really given me a lot of perspective. I LOVE what you write, it so real...do you know, when some authors write they're work is detached, and, well, its like a substitute or an imitation of what they truely what to write. Of whats on they're heart. But you're writing is so AUTHENTIC. It's good.
So thank-you,
-Susanna
