New to the blog this year are my 20 on 20 music playlists featuring 20 songs released on the 20th of each month.
February’s theme is a celebration of love — from the dramatic scenes of romance novels and television shows to the simple acts of kindness we offer one another everyday. My challenge to you (and myself) is to share the love this month, and throughout the year, by extending kindness and making someone’s day a little brighter.

I’ll start by sharing my love of music below. You can also listen directly on Spotify.
This playlist is especially nice on slow mornings or while making dinner.
Accompanying this love-ly playlist are 20 RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS to help you get started:
1. Pay for the order of the person behind you in line.
2. Send a handwritten note to a friend or family member.
3. Buy yourself a bouquet of flowers. (Because being kind to yourself is important, too!)
4. Offer unsolicited, sincere compliments.
5. Smile when you say hello.
6. Pick up litter in your neighborhood.
7. Run an errand for someone.
8. Donate items you no longer need/want.
9. Volunteer to walk dogs at the local animal shelter.
10. Take time to really listen to your loved ones.
11. Treat your local firehouse or police station to a batch of freshly baked cookies.
12. Leave a love note in your spouse’s car.
13. Fundraise for a good cause.
14. Buy your kids an ice cream cone.
15. Do a chore without being asked.
16. Help a neighbor shovel the driveway, mow the lawn or rake leaves.
