Dear <<First Name>>,

World Kindness Day was introduced in 1998 by the World Kindness Movement "to inspire individuals towards greater kindness by connecting nations to create a kinder world."

Kindness events took place all over the world on November 13! Imagine the love, imagine the smiles!  This edition includes one such kindness event and I was thrilled to be a part of it =)

In love and light,

World Kindness Day
November 13, 2021, Kids for Peace Kindness Unites Paperchain
at Pacific Rim Elementary School in Carlsbad, California

Kids for Peace decided not to go for an official Guinness World Record (as earlier reported), but they achieved their ultimate goal—to remind us that we are all linked by love. A COVID pandemic inspired idea became a kindness sharing project involving children and adults from around the world! 

Kindness Unites Paperchain:
  • Nearly two years in the making
  • Involved 702 schools
  • Engaged hundreds of thousands of participants from 50 states and 6 continents
  • Nearly six days of measuring
  • Connected 360,000+ love links 
  • Created 18 miles of uplifting messages
  • Filled a massive symbol of love nearly 114 feet square
  • Resulted in:
The World’s Longest Recycled Paperchain
with Messages of Love and Hope!

Jill McManigal, Meg Jansen, and Asia Moore—three women who are the heart of the Kids for Peace organization—along with numerous volunteers, made sure to include every message link sent in from around the globe, cut and decorated even more, measured 1/8th of a mile paper chain sections, and linked each section to fill one enormous heart. The celebration was, to say the least, heartfelt and joyous.

And then there was Jocelyn, a 23-year-old recording artist who believes—and sings—about the power of the positive. She entertained the crowd with original song titles like Good to Be Me, Love Letter, and Never Change. Jocelyn is sponsored by Boys Town as part of their Kindness Tour, bringing a message of hope and encouragement to elementary and high school students across the country. Her mesmerizing voice, uplifting lyrics, and delightful spirit was a treat for us all! Click here to listen and watch as she performs Love Letter, a song about recognizing the love within. Awesome! 

Thanks to Kids for Peace for making it all happen, and infusing the event with such optimism and dedication. Thanks to Jocelyn, Jeff McClain at Midlands Music Group, Melissa Farris at Boys Town, and Pacific Rim Elementary School for believing in the potential of this kindness event. And thanks also to the many, many volunteers and countless love link makers! 

Meanwhile, all that love is still reaching out. Sections of this massive paperchain are being distributed to area schools, libraries, hospitals, youth groups, and more—spreading even more kindness.
Kindness matters every day, every where, and to every one!
