Random Acts of Kindness

June 30, 2016 by Akasha Lonsdale-Deighton Leave a Comment

smiley-faceI was totally inspired this week by the kind actions that pupils from eight schools decided to take to balance out some of the bad stuff that is happening right now. Bristol is a multi-ethnic city and you can watch what they did here.

Did that warm your heart and make you smile? I loved one of their ideas of putting heartwarming message bookmarks in random library books for someone to discover. It is said that a smile is an international language and I am certainly finding it to be true here in France as until my French improves, sometimes all I have to fall back on is a smile!  So far it has worked everytime.

There is so much we can do to make even a small difference and to let others know that we care or that we just respect who they are. I’m not going to try and list them all here because there are some awesome ideas on the Random Acts of Kindness website!

However I would let you know what a colleague of mine started some years ago. It’s called Random Huggers and once a year they have a Random Huggers Day which involves teams of people offering to give others a hug. You can see what they’re up to on their Facebook Page.

As Amnesty International say: It’s better to light a candle than curse the darkness’ so I’m going to finish with one of my favourite Rumi quotes and a link to one of my favourite John Lennon songs, ‘Imagine’.

This post is dedicated to the Labour politician Jo Cox who worked tirelessly to unify people and who was murdered because of what she stood for. Jo Cox - resized imageRIP.

"Akasha has been blessed with the skills to guide people through difficult times; when they have issues in their lives that need addressing before they are able to properly move on.  My confidence was at a low ebb when I met Akasha.  However my time spent with her has helped me to source the reason for my lack of self-belief. Akasha's skills are many, from personal coaching to public speaking - and she uses all of them as she sees fit.  I cannot thank her enough for using her calm approach to enable me to set myself free and find wholeness and peace in who I am.  As an added extra those around me have also noticed the positive shift in me. If you feel there is something lacking in your life - or just that all does not feel whole - then Akasha has the skills to help you become the person you really are. I cannot recommend her highly enough.  She has given me a new perspective on life which brings me peace in who I am. And I so genuinely thank her for that."

"I wanted to send you my thanks Akasha.  Although I know xxx has a long journey, he has improved dramatically. He puts in so much effort and listens to all your advice. I am happy he is starting to put trust in someone!  I knew you could help him, and to see him starting to "open" up to life again is fantastic, you are fantastic... Thank you!"

"Thank you so much Akasha, for all the invaluable help you've given over the past months. I have gained in confidence and have learnt so much about myself and how to deal better with life, and in particular how to deal with the specific issues that brought me to you in the first place.  Now it's time for me to go it alone, but safe in the knowledge that I can come back to see you at any time in the future.  Thank you again."
