Tomorrow is National Love People Day, an annual event meant to spread kindness and love. As an official holiday, it gained traction in 2017 when a Chicago-based church took on the task of making this national holiday more impactful and well-known. Lifeline Church undertook this campaign in honor of their founders, Pastors Reggie and London Royal. National Love People Day is meant to bring communities, families, and the world together in the spirit of unconditional love. This is a day dedicated to inspiring and supporting others with the power of unconditional love.
How to Celebrate:
Help someone else → random acts of kindness epitomizes the spirit behind National Love People Day. Hold open a door, send a card to a long-distance friend, call an elderly relative, donate money to charity – the possibilities are endless!
Express love through the arts → spread the message of National Love People Day by writing a poem, participating in a poetry slam, dance, take photos of the things you love, paint a picture; art is an amazing outlet in these trying times.
Be nice → like random acts of kindness, being nice is often priceless while being hugely impactful. Offer words of support or show empathy to friends/family going through hard times, share a hug, a cup of coffee, a listening ear to someone you do or don’t know; sometimes the stranger wishing you a good day after holding the door open makes all the difference in the world.
