A Promise, a Book, and a Smile
We walked to Galveston Central Church with a care package of freeze-dried fruit for the staff. Outside, we met a man named Michael, waiting for lunch. He asked what was inside, and we handed him a bag of freeze-dried watermelon.
He lit up. ‘This tastes like cotton candy!’ he said, surprised. ‘And no sugar added?’
We spoke for a while—his hope was shining through hard times. Before we left, he asked, ‘Can you recommend a book to help me grow?’
We promised to return Thursday with two of our favorites: Quietude and The Four Agreements. When we handed them to him, he smiled big.
It only takes a moment to change someone’s day for the better. Love was here, pass it on.”—SB2

HOW TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Without spending any money
Hold a door for someone
Hold the door open—it’s a simple act that says, “I see you,” and reminds us we’re all connected.
Pick a flower
Offer a handpicked flower—it’s a quiet, beautiful gesture that speaks love, presence, and connection without saying a word.
Give a compliment
Brighten someone’s day with a sincere compliment—it costs nothing, but can lift a heart and awaken a smile.
Pick up litter
Restore beauty to your surroundings—picking up litter shows care for the Earth and inspires others to do the same.

Secret Blue Butterfly FAQs
Your Questions Answered
When and how did this initiative begin?
In 2014 a dad was on a bike ride with his two young children. They came upon a chalk drawing on a sidewalk that read, "If you have the power to make someone happy, DO IT, the world needs more of that.." It inspired them to begin doing kind acts and leaving something to let the recipient know they were loved by the Universe. An initiative was born! One act turned into Secret Blue Butterfly being shared in more than 100 countries around the world. Visit the about page to learn more!
How can I get started and join the mission?
We make this as simple as possible. Download your free butterfly printout (free butterflies here), perform a kind act and leave a butterfly and if you'd like, take a picture for the world to see (submit photo here). Illustrate to everyone how one kind act can change the world!
Do I have to take a picture of my kind act?
No, if you'd like to remain completely anonymous that is in the spirit of this initiative. We only began posting pictures to bring awareness to the initiative and in fact only post a picture about 20% of the time.
Wonder if I don't have much to give?
That's okay! Kindness doesn't have to cost a penny. Hold a door for someone; pick a flower and give it to a stranger or leave it on their car; pick up litter; give a compliment. All these things can change someone's life and it doesn't take money. And always remember, our attention is our most valuable commodity and when we give it to others we can change the world with love.
Do you have a children's program?
This initiative was designed with kids in mind. It was founded to encourage children to "be the change they wish to see in the world." We highly encourage you to get your kids involved!
Do you work with schools and teachers?
We work with teaches and schools to offer butterflies as a kindness initiative to encourage kids to begin young. If you wish to get your school involved send us a message here and we will arrange to get butterflies sent to your school.
How can I submit my photos to be featured?
We make this simple. Just do your random act of kindness and take a photo and then upload them on to our website. SUBMIT YOUR PHOTOS. We post on social media all the photos we receive. This photo came all the way from Madrid, Spain.
How can I become a Kindness Ambassador in my area?
We just started a new program where you can become a Kindness Ambassador in your area and it starts with you receiving a FREE 7-Day Kindness Journal. Download your journal here, perform your 7 acts of kindness and then SUBMIT YOUR PHOTOS to us. When we receive them, not only will you become a Kindness Ambassador you will receive your free THRIVE BOX.
We will feature your photos on our website, social media channels and highlight your corner of the world with you as our representative. Let's get started!
