Epiphany Chocolates gave me 10 boxes of the best chocolates I've
literally ever had in my life, to pass out to 10 random people.
I love Valentine's Day, so clearly I was ecstatic.
Chocolate+random acts of kindness= the best day ever.
The first lady I stopped was completely shocked.
"You just want to give these to me?"
I smiled... "Well yes!"
She laughed, looked completely surprised and said,
"Why? Who are you with?"
I told her, "I'm with no one. Just trying to spread a little love,
and I hope that you really do have a great Valentines Day."
"Wow. Thank you so, so much."
It really is simple.
Changing someone's day doesn't take a huge flash mob
with sparkling lights while Beyonce serenades them to tears.
And in fact, it doesn't even take a box of chocolates.
Although, if you ever plan on doing a random act of kindness for me,
I really wouldn't turn chocolates down.
All it takes is a sincere gesture towards someone that makes them feel like
wow, people do care about me. Today isn't so bad, after all.
I challenge you this Valentine's Day to do something with a little extra love
for someone who is completely not expecting it.
Spread the shine, my friends.
