Stories of Kindness from Around the World

A sunflower to brighten your day!

I went to my local library and picked up the book, "Simple Giving", by Jennifer Iacovelli, and from there I read about this site. We have a freshman male, and a middle school girl in the house, so I got them involved. We read through some of the ideas and decided to print off smile cards:)) We printed 10, then headed to a local flower shop. We told Ginny, at Ousterhout 's Flowers, that we wanted to randomly hand out a flower, with a smile card stapled to it. Ginny liked that idea and decided to also "Be Kind" by selling us 12 big, beautiful sunflowers at $25(my budget) instead of the $3/each!! Yay! The kids and I went for a walk down the Blvd. and randomly passed out these beautiful flowers, telling everyone that we hope their day was great! We had fun, and it felt great to give! Thank you for the wonderful idea!
