Dallas jewelry store uses random acts of kindness to spread Valentine’s Day love
DALLAS – Not only is it Valentine’s Day it’s also Random Acts of Kindness Week.
In honor of both occasions, a small business in North Texas is challenging itself to spread love not through hugs, chocolate, and flowers, but through acts of kindness.
“It really does go a long way… even though it’s relatively small,” said Alysa Teichman, owner of Wildlike, a luxury jewelry concept store in Dallas. “Valentine’s Day is really about celebrating different kinds of love… whether it’s friendship, romantic love, or self-love, we want to change the narrative. We believe kindness is cool.”
Teichman emphasizes the importance of recognizing that Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to revolve solely around romance but can be a day for showing love to everyone around you. This led her to brainstorm a new way to promote kindness at the store.
Throughout Random Acts of Kindness Week, including on Valentine’s Day, they’ve been giving out gift cards and sweet notes to random guests inside or outside of the store, either for them to use or pass on to a friend.
“I think people are surprised and delighted,” she said. “It feels so good to give, and we hope that our random acts of kindness continue to surprise and delight people to give beyond the store, in their day-to-day lives,” she added.
Teichman hopes this initiative creates a ripple effect of love by encapsulating the feeling of Wildlike, a place known for self-expression and joy, and dispersing it back into the world.

FRISCO, Texas — After 12 seasons in the NFL and the last eight with the Dallas Cowboys, defensive back CJ Goodwin has announced his retirement.
Goodwin, 36, has played in 108 games for the Cowboys since he joined the team in 2018. He was the second longest-tenured Cowboy on the roster behind only Dak Prescott, who preceded Goodwin by two seasons.
Since 2019, Goodwin has been one of Dallas’ key players on special teams, recording 69 tackles with the Cowboys [ninth in Cowboys history] and 87 in his NFL career. In 2021, Goodwin became the first player in franchise history to lead the team in special teams tackles for three consecutive seasons.
After going undrafted in 2014, Goodwin received a tryout with the Pittsburgh Steelers after Steelers Hall of Fame cornerback Mel Blount, whose son attended high school with Goodwin and who Goodwin had worked for as a farm hand, urged the team to give him an opportunity. Pittsburgh would sign him as an undrafted free agent afterwards.
Following time with the Steelers, Falcons, Cardinals, Giants, 49ers and Bengals, the Cowboys signed Goodwin off of Cincinnati’s practice squad in October of 2018.
In his eight seasons with Dallas, Goodwin notched 2,211 snaps on special teams. He worked primarily as a gunner on punt coverage and was one of Dallas’ most impactful defenders on kickoff coverage during his career with the team.
Goodwin was named one of the Cowboys’ six captains in 2025, and the second captain on special teams alongside Brandon Aubrey. He finished the year with 18 special teams tackles.
In 2026, the Cowboys will now have to look to fill Goodwin’s shoes on special teams. Some of their offseason signings, like safety P.J. Locke, have a strong history as defenders on special teams and could end up being crucial for special teams coordinator Nick Sorensen in his second season in Dallas.
Temperatures are expected to climb into the upper-90s and triple digits over the next week, with no real sign of relief! Sunshine dominates the forecast, with only a very slim chance of rain by the end of next week.
