Fill Your T.A.N.K. 💛

Today, we’re focusing on the “K” in T.A.N.K. - Kinship.

The people we surround ourselves with play an important role in our well-being. Making time to connect with others can strengthen our relationships and help us feel supported and connected.

Today’s T.A.N.K. challenge: As you head into the weekend, choose one of the ideas above or come up with your own, and make time for someone who matters to you.

How are you practicing Kinship? Tag The Goldfinch Foundation and use to show us how you’re connecting with the people who matter most!

What if microkindness spreads like something catching? 🌱

That’s the idea behind a new paper in the International Journal of Wellbeing, where researchers Tim Lomas and Tyler VanderWeele make the case for a “positive epidemiology”: studying how good things spread through a population the way we study how illness does.

Their focus is microkindness, a gesture under five seconds, motivated by genuine warmth, that lifts someone else at almost no cost to you. A real smile is the prime example, along with a quick hello or friendly small talk at the checkout.
The intriguing part is transmission. Research shows happiness can ripple through social networks up to three degrees of separation, reaching the people around you and the people around them. Kindness, they argue, may travel the same way. One small gesture, passed down a chain of people.

Start one ripple. Pass on a microkindness today.

Based on Lomas & VanderWeele (2026), International Journal of Wellbeing.
