“There's always somebody who is worse off than you that you have something to give [them].”
Tae found a connection with the teachings of Louise Hay, Wayne Dyer and other individuals sharing the concepts of Law of Attraction. Making positive affirmations made a difference, and it anchored the impact that practicing acts of kindness had on herself and on others. The transformation from merely existing in a continuous state of fatigue and despair into a life of purposeful meaning took years of dedication. The daily commitment of writing journal entries recorded her acts of kindness and validated the perception that good things surround us when they are sought out.
It didn’t take long once Tae decided to expand her reach to individuals in similar situations. She established the 60 Seconds to Kindness Facebook fan page in April of 2015, along with other social media outlets, and focused on posting messages of kindness. In July, Tae wrote and recorded the voiceover for her YouTube video titled, “Kindness Changes Lives.” A month later she founded60SecondsToKindness.com to write about her journey of living with chronic illnesses with the intent to give others hope.
Take a moment to explore www.60SecondsToKindness.com. You will find a wealth of information including the ebook Tae created entitled “Ten Simple Ways To Make A Difference” (free download on her website). It’s a guide offering practical tips on
ways to implement kindness into our daily lives. Personally, I would like to congratulate Tae. Her “Green Smoothies to the Rescue” is scheduled for release on July 26th and “Color The World with Kindness: 50 Ways to Brighten Someone's Day” (Balboa Press) will be available for purchase late this fall. Tae is also a co-author in two collaborative books: 365 Ways to Connect with Your Soul (November 2015), and 365 Moments of Grace (June 2016).
Her message is clear: Being a “kindness junkie” isn't just for those who are chronically ill. It is for everyone wanting to make a difference and change the world one act of kindness at a time.
