The month of December took her on a journey to give back to the world, the universe , the people... through random acts of kindness , one for each day . Describing why it's important that we do and encourage kindness because we may feel we have little to offer, but whether it is a few pennies or a whole bankroll, a cup of tea or a banquet is
 irrelevant-- it is the act of giving itself that is important. As Mahatma Gandhi said "Almost anything we do will seem insignificant, but it is very important that we do it." I say , especially if it makes someone smile. 
Nickolai Kinny is an author, travel writer and photographer by profession her mantra in life stands as "Caprediem" - seize the day  and she encourages others to do the same.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
