Today is the last Friday of the month, and for #WATWB where we post about good things in the world on the last Friday of the month, I wanted to share this inspirational story about a Canadian girl, Becca Schofield, who passed away this year in February at the age of only 18 years old after battling terminal brain cancer but did not allow her death sentence to prevent her from sharing random kindness.
All this little girl wanted to do was to start a movement inspiring people to perform acts of kindness around the world and her movement spread to 94 countries, becoming a global movement with the hashtag #BeccaToldMeTo. The Canadian government has proclaimed September 15th as the Annual Becca Schofield Day.
You can read more about this beautiful girl HERE

Hi Debby – amazing wonderful kid … she did so much before she died – and she’s inspiring so many to get out there and do Random Acts of Kindness … something we should all be doing more of … smiling at strangers is free and readily available each and every day – thanks for highlighting her … Definitely congratulations to Becca – I’ll remember her as I go through my days … cheers Hilary

Becca is a great inspiration for all of us to be kind but also when at the beginning of the video she wondered how to use the little time she had left. Most of us don’t know how much time we have left and yet we go around leaving things for tomorrow or believing we’ve got all the time in the world putting what really matters on the back burner. What do we want to accomplish that we keep putting off?
