Ann Curry is calling on people all over the world to do 26 random acts of kindness for each of the people killed in Sandy Hook Elementary School. Here's some inspiration from people who have already begun.

"Day 2: 100% tip for a server at one of my favorite lunch spots!"
"Instead of asking Santa for something, they brought him a Starbucks gift card."
"First act of kindness: paying for the car behind us crossing over the bridge."
"An amazing woman just came in and did this & tipped us $20. There are beautiful people in the world."
"Felt awesome to leave this on a car in the parking lot today. Not life changing but kindness is contagious."
"Day 1: A latte for the kind security guard who stands outside our building, rain or shine, making sure we are safe."
"This notecard and $ was given to my son today this afternoon by a complete stranger. What an amazing idea. I plan on joining in and paying it forward."
