A little heart goes a long way. Whether you're buzzing with energy or just doing your best to get through the day, this tool is here to help you find one small, meaningful thing you can do today. If you're dragging a bit, this might be just the pick-me-up you need. Just answer two quick questions, and we’ll share an uplifting action made for your moment.
Choose how you feel right now — and how much time you've got — to discover good deed ideas that brings joy to your day - and to someone else's!
It started like any other busy morning at the Starbucks drive-thru in St. Petersburg, Florida. The Florida sun peeked through palm trees as car after car rolled up for their daily pick-me-up—lattes, cappuccinos, iced matchas. But on that day, something extraordinary began with one simple, generous choice.
A woman in the drive-thru decided to do something unexpected. When she paid for her coffee, she also paid for the drink of the stranger in the car behind her. No strings attached. Just kindness.
That stranger, touched by the gesture, paid it forward to the next person. And then the next person did the same. Word spread from the baristas to the customers, and soon, an incredible wave of generosity took hold. Over the course of two days, more than 750 people chose to participate in the spontaneous chain of kindness.
One customer eventually chose not to continue the chain, but something beautiful happened—the baristas simply explained what had been going on, and the very next customer brought it right back to life. The momentum of goodwill was too strong to be stopped.
This wasn’t just about free coffee. It was about connection. A reminder that our small, kind choices can create ripples we may never see. That one ordinary person, on an ordinary day, can spark something truly extraordinary.
The movement echoed the spirit of the Suspended Coffee tradition that began in Italy—where someone might pay for an extra cup, to be given to a person in need. It’s not about recognition. It’s about hope.
Imagine what the world could look like if each of us did one small thing every day to make someone else’s day a little brighter.
