Make Someone’s Day Better

Take an Art Break Inspiration from Co-founding Director, Lisa Rasmussen.

One of my favorite types of art breaks involves random acts of art and kindness.

A few weeks ago, one of those random acts of kindness showed up on my doorstep. I came home and picked up a package that had been delivered to me. I was amused to see someone had written, “We are big Lisa fans,” on my package. I have no idea who did it or why. But, I loved it! It was super random, totally creative, and completely made my day. 

Let’s pay it forward and try this random act of art and kindness out for ourselves!

All you need for this art break is a black marker and some courage.

Find a box that’s been delivered to a neighbor’s door. Be as sly as you can and write an inspiring note on the box.

Can’t find a box? That’s ok! The next time you send a package, write an inspirational note on the outside of it so everyone that encounters your package on its journey will get a little extra kindness added to their day. 

Try it and see how it makes you feel. I know it’ll make the recipient feel fantastic. Let’s pay it forward and remember how far small acts of art and kindness can go.
