Happy National Random Act of Kindness Day!

❤️

Yesterday Sidney blew me away !
The sweetest reminder that kindness comes naturally. My 2 ½-year-old grandson, Sidney, was over while I was packing up some stuffed animals. I told him we were giving them to kids who don’t have toys to play with.

Without hesitation, he grabbed his favorite truck and said, “Give them this truck too.”

I was blown away by his generosity. A little act of kindness can make a big difference. Let’s all take a moment today to spread kindness in any way we can!

Sam, today we celebrate you—
A heart so strong, a soul so true.
For 35 years, you’ve shined so bright,
A guiding star, a beacon of light.

You’ve taught us love in countless ways,
With strength and courage that amaze.
You see the world through a different view,
And remind us what is kind and true.

Because of you, a dream took flight,
Embrace the Difference®—love burning bright.
A symbol shared, a message spread,
That we are connected, by heart and thread.

Your laughter lifts, your spirit glows,
A love so deep, it always shows.
No words can truly say how proud,
You make us all—our joy, unbowed.

So on this day, we raise a cheer,
To celebrate another year.
Sam, you are a gift, a spark, a song,
A love that’s endless, fierce, and strong.

Our Story

My name is Robyn Zimmer. As a mother of a child with developmental differences I am well aware of the many challenges faced each day by people with chronic illness, physical, emotional and developmental disabilities. The people and organizations that helped shape my son into the happy young man he is today inspired me to design the Embrace The Difference® symbol. That symbol has turned into a signature jewelry, apparel and home goods line and its purpose is to give back. My mission is two fold: spread a message of kindness, and give back to your local organizations. To date, we have donated over $450,000!

A single square embraced by circles reminds us that we’re all connected, no matter what difference we may have.

We currently have over 100 local and National Charities that benefit from Embrace The Difference®. You choose the Charity that receives your donation.
