Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Double Donations :)

Received an email from the amazing folks at Greyhound Rescue in Australia that one of their partners is matching every donation until 2 November, so I jumped on the opportunity to make a donation and help out the hounds in need.

Winter is rapidly approaching in the Northern Hemisphere and I couldn't leave out Ukraine, so I also donated to the United24 initiative of President Zelenskyy to provide Ukrainians with much needed aid.

Money Saving For Helping People In Need πŸ™

I planned to eat pani poori. It costs 20 INR. Then I got a brilliant idea. At home mother made snack item during festival. So, I ate whatever available at home. Hence I saved 20 INR because I didn't ate pani poori outside. Some people come to shop for help. So, I will give 20 INR for those people who are in need. This is my kindness planning πŸ™

Things To Share

When I picked up the mail the other day, what should be included? A Huge envelope with the return address from our very own Mindyjourney. Inside were a flock of peace doves (flapping their little wings), inspirational cards from Rajni and oodles more wonderful items that will soon be shared. I've already tucked some of these lovelies into birthday cards and anniversary cards that will soon be mailed out. Our MrsMindy is a treasure.

πŸ™ Prayers For Butchie 🐢

β€οΈπŸ• Neighbor-friends’ older rescue dog is facing some health challenges right now & they’ve been going back & forth to the vet for tests, scans, medications, etc. He’s the cutest little pup who is loved devotedly by them.

Mistermindy Makes A Table


The Storehouse (our local food bank and charity shop) sent out a call for a certain size table needed by early November. It is to be used to help sort the HUGE (grateful!) amount of food that will be donated by the Boy Scouts holiday food drive.

MisterM spotted a massive table that was donated that he could modify to make work. So, he hauled it home and worked on it in the freezing cold pole barn, with the table hanging half out of his truck. He sawed it to size, sanded, reinforced and if the weather ever warms up, he’ll paint the table legs before bringing it back to the Storehouse.

Amazing what that man can accomplish!

Supporting Education

I shared with you the latest small kind donations to a few different charities that do work to support Education around the world. Today we got the most beautiful post card from one of the them, Hope & Soul. It's a sweet young lady who works with children and families in Africa. What a difference it makes when you receive a handwritten note, bless her. It also feels heart warming to be appreciated, doesn't it?
Lots of love to you all, hope you are having a peaceful Sunday.

I knitted this lovely figure with her teddy for the daughter of my friend. However, when my magazine arrived today there was a pattern for a lovely bunny and I know she will love it as it will go with Easter Bunny I made earlier this year.

πŸ’• Sharing Love

WEdnesday’s Do’s….

🧢 Started crocheting a baby blanket for a couple expecting their first baby. I know the dad to be from our favorite local restaurant where we’ve eaten often over the past 40 years….it’s a family owned & operated restaurant that his grandfather started over 50 years ago. His father & uncle own the restaurant now & he joined them when he was old enough. Saw him & the mom to be yesterday when we dined there & found out the good news. I look forward to surprising them with a blanket. 😊

πŸ’ Left a “comfort bag” on neighbor-friend’s back porch. She is going through a few stressors & is in high anxiety mode today. I included some camomile tea bags which are calming, a bunch of peace doves (she loves them) , some elderberry tea bags good for immune support, and a few more goodies I know she will like. She will find them when she gets home from school (she’s a teacher).

Sharing Peace Doves

πŸ•Š Yet another sweet peace dove share….. Young man was going door to door on our block trying to sign folks at  up for solar panel installations. We struck up a conversation with him & found out he was new on the job & still in training & had only made one sale so far. He was very friendly & chatty.

Made Another Donation To Ukraine :)

Made another donation to Ukraine. This is a cause that has become very dear to me, and I will continue to support Ukraine through every phase of her ongoing efforts to defend her country and her people.

I am not Ukrainian, nor of that heritage, but had some friends and teammates in college that were Ukrainian. I've learned how kind, hardworking, and proud the people of Ukraine really are -- their strength and perseverance is truly inspirational.

Friendly cafeteria

The food was not good to be honest but the 2 young men working at the little cafe in a nearby village were really trying. They were so friendly and welcoming. I left a beautiful kind card and a thank you note, they deserved it. I do like supporting small local businesses and even though I might not choose to eat there again, I could still go sometimes to get a cup of tea after a walk in the area :-)

Books Kindness and Positivity

Yesterday, October 12, I went to meet a publisher and buy inspiring and character-building books to donate to some schools. The publisher Mr. CS offered me less discount than my expectation of 40%. I didn't deviate from my thinking positively to succeed. He agreed and offered me 40% discount. I bought 20 sets of books. Each set contained 17 books in Gujarati. I am grateful to Mr. CS for his kind support. I bought some other books too.

I am just a part of this kindness. Financially, some family and friends have supported this good cause.

I am grateful to Sri Sathya Sai Baba for all the opportunities sending my way and His help and guidance.to manifest them. He is the one who helped me get desired discount.

I am grateful to the Author Ramesh Tanna who will find the appropriate schools and mail the books.
I am also grateful to Author Ramesh Tanna who will find the schools and mail them.

A Random Act Of Kindness - Brought Her To Tears!

Had to share this one with ya!!

Every so often I go into random restaurants, see a cute elderly couple, or a sweet family dining, or someone dining solo (anything that touches my heart really)… and I go up to the owner and ask if I could pay for them (without them knowing who it was from)… They always kindly let me do it.

This morning I went to a Mexican Restaurant and asked to do the same. The owner there knows me and told me that one time, when she just had a little baby, she went to a restaurant, the baby was screaming and crying, and she felt terrible for all the other people trying to dine in peace.

Then, when she got the bill, she realized that someone else had already paid for it.

It touched her heart so very much she told me, that it brought her to tears…

She told me that each time she sees me doing this, it reminds her of that moment that meant so much to her!!

I told her that I LOVED that story!! And it’s just one of the reasons I do what I do.
