Haven't heard of the 30 Days of Kindness?  Click here to find out more.  Just starting?  That's okay!  Feel free to start this challenge right in the middle.  You can make up the days you missed through November, if you like.

Write a letter to someone you admire.  This may be one of the most difficult challenges so far to some of you.  I want you to write a letter- not a note, a letter at least half a page long- to someone you admire or look up to.  It could be an adult role model or it could be a friend of yours who has kept strong through an incredibly hard time.  I want you to tell them how much you look up to them.  Say why you look up to them.  And offer some encouraging words or a bible verse.

After you finish the letter, I want you to send it (or personally give it) to the person.  Terrifying, right?

You will probably make their entire week.  It's scary to you but it will touch this person more than you will ever know.  Imagine if someone wrote you a letter, telling you how much they admired you. 

What a way to make someone's day. 

I want to hear your stories!  Leave me a comment and share what you did during today's challenge.  If you have a picture or two, feel free to send them to me.  If you're blogging about today, send me the link and I'll feature it on this blog.

Stay tuned until later today to see what my friends and I did for today's act of kindness.

TOMORROW: Leave ten encouraging notes in various places!
