"No act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted"
​- Aesop

In Ellie’s eulogy, the community was called upon to honor Ellie’s memory by doing at least one thing they’ve never done before to make the world a more beautiful place. Loved ones were asked to consider volunteering somewhere new, donating to a cause that is special to them, or paying it forward to a complete stranger.
If you are the giver or receiver of a random act of kindness that moved you, post your story in the comments below, to our Facebook page, or share it on Twitter or Instagram usingthe hashtag #ForEllie.

"Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible"
​- Dalai Lama

Be Patient and understanding, assume noble intent in others.
Be Forgiving, to others and yourself.
Be accepting. Don’t judge or gossip. Everyone has a story and their own battles you may not know about.
Be Polite. Say Please and Thank you to anyone and everyone.
Be thoughtful, check on elderly neighbors after a snow storm, or a friend who lost their parent or child on potentially hard holidays.

"If you have the power to make someone happy, do it. The world needs more of that."
