A-Z Challenge: Random Acts of Kindness beginning with "E"

Throughout the A-Z Challenge I'll be blogging through the alphabet using each letter to create a list of Random Acts of Kindness. I've been collecting RAK ideas for some time now as I gear up to the 2016 launch of a project dear to my heart: B(e) Kind 366. I'll be performing an act of kindness every day of the leap year starting January 1st, 2016 while raising funds for World University Service of Canada (WUSC), an organisation that changed my life.

I'm starting each post with a synonym (of sorts) for kindness. I added this part to my posts because of an amazing movement I am a part of 1000 Voices Speak for Compassion. We link up monthly and blog about changing the world for the better. It's magical really. We're even on Twitter! @1000Speak

Peanut Butter Burger
E is for Equality

E-Card - send one!
Eat - with someone, something new, something foreign, something someone asks you to try (even if you think it's strange).
Egg - someone! This is a great idea for the Easter season, but really anytime would do!
Expired - posters on community boards - take them down and recycle them.
Explain - something to someone who is having difficulties understanding. 
Exercise - 30 minutes/day or 10,000 steps/day (I will be exercising a.k.a. walking, running, cycling, etc. one km for every dollar donated during the month of June in 2016.)

That's it for my "E" List! It's a little shorter this time around. Please help me build my list of Random Acts of Kindness by leaving suggestions in the comments!

    WOW- never thought of adding peanut butter to a burger. I do love burgers and I love PB so maybe not so weird. Stopping by from the a to z challenge. I love your dress on your blog cover! Gorgeous.

      Definitely try it Holli! I thought it would be funky, but it's actually really quite good. Thanks for the compliment on the dress. I love it and it was the perfect wedding dress for me!

    This is one of the best themes I've seen in the challenge. More people should do random acts of kindness.

    Good luck with the 2015 A to Z Challenge!

      That's the best compliment I could ask for. Inspiring others to spread kindness is my primary goal!

    E – Ebuzzing Top Blogs if you don’t already post to it, you should. It would help spread the word about RAK.

    I loved this idea for a blog post. Barbara
