Spreading Kindness & Sharing Glimmers

This fall, Love Dahlia is encouraging everyone to focus on Finding Glimmers. A glimmer is a micro-moment that brings joy, safety, or calm—essentially the opposite of a trigger. Finding these small signs of hope can improve mental health by regulating the nervous system and shifting the brain away from a natural negativity bias.

This campaign aims to bring our community together to find hope through local events and connect with others. We invite you to share your own glimmers or acts of kindness on our community blog.

Together, we can Live Like Dahlia Siders.

We have busy at our house showing kindness. From 50% tips for coffee to donations of clothing, spreading Little Jesus's all over, holding doors for others, complimenting people who really need a 😃, and helping others who are overwhelmed at work.

put notes in all my roommates rooms for them to come home to!

February is Dahlia's birthday month. For her 14th birthday we are encouraging our community to participate in 14 acts of kindness.

Share your acts of kindness here, not only for others to get inspiration from, but to share joy and kindness even further! Also feel free to share any acts of kindness you experience from others!

Need help coming up with some acts of kindness? Check out our resource page under the "Spreading Kindness" section for inspiration! Any act of kindness , big or small, counts! Lets spread kindness together in the memory of Dahlia!

What is a glimmer? 

"Glimmers are tiny micro moments of joy—fleeting, everyday moments that elicit a rush of happiness, gratitude, calm, peace, safety, or goodwill. Some examples of glimmers include: Spotting a rainbow. Hearing your favorite song in the grocery store. Feeling the warmth of the sun on your skin."

It is important to take a moment for yourself when life gets bogged down in sadness, grief, or anger and find joy somewhere. Or even when life is moving so fast you forget to stop and enjoy a moment of peace. We are encouraging that moment of peace and joy here!

Please keep posts kind, safe, and appropriate for all ages and people. Please do not share personal information as this group is public for all to see! Stay safe!
