Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Books Donation

It was time to clean up our book shelves and my wife is very regular in giving items away. Today, we donated about 30 books of old classics and autobiographies to a book store who gladly accepted it. I am sure it will delight some one else looking to get a copy of these books.

My Family Played This Game

My family played this game once during the holidays and it wasn't our cup of tea. Brought it to work today with an "Up for Grabs" sign. Came back and it was gone. Hoping it found its forever home.

April Is National Card And Letter Writing

April is National Card & Letter Writing Month. Getting a letter or a card with a personal message in the mail has always been very special to me. While texts, emails and social media are a good way to stay in touch there is just something extra special about a card or letter that you can hold in hour hand and save to cherish the memory. During the month of April I am challenging myself to write 30 letters. Some will be written to friends and relatives, others will be written to veterans going on Honor Flights and some will be written to children in the hospital.

Package Of Kindness

Richard took some of the items we didn't need to the Food Bank and I had an idea for a bottle of wine which was part of the package. I will drop it off at the Hairdressers as they have moved to new premises and I think it will help them celebrate!

I'm putting together a package for our neighbours too!

The photo shows the book and the raccoon and owl I've knitted to accompany them.

Be Enchanted 😊

I ordered this book on the recommendation of gardengal and it was delivered this afternoon.

I thought it would be a good book to put into the Happy Bag I posted about earlier, for our neighbor-friend’s Mom. I can order another one for myself. I think this would be a good book for her to read as she undergoes her lung cancer treatments.

📕 One review: “This book has nuggets of gold, great wisdom that will serve in the practice of waking up to the sacred in all.”

Class Wish List At The Door

I went to school with Kara decades ago and we still are connected via FaceBook. I have seen all she does with her community, faith and taking more children into her family. She's very positive and is always trying to make the world better one person, one act at a time.
This week I found some items for my class from my Amazon class list at my front door: Expo pens, a language activity book and calculators.
This is the true meaning of Christmas. Thank you, Kara and family. Merry Christmas!

🕊️ Waiting Room Peace Summit 🕊️

That’s Gretchen in the photo. She was waiting for her car to be serviced too. We had never met before and not sure we will again, but wow, what an encounter! It was one of those brief, open, heart-to-heart, synchronistic connections that bloomed with the radiance of divine love. When I asked what she was reading she said, “The Anatomy of Peace,” a book her sister had sent in response to a few months of silence from her sister. Gretchen was puzzled. Why this book? What message was her sister trying to convey? “Forgiveness. That’s the biggest thing,” Gretchen said. I agreed. “Families. They are our most challenging lessons.” That opened a share about my brother, who had disowned our family over 20 years ago. An origami peace dove fairly flew out of my purse into her hand, and then another to share with her estranged sister. I’ve signed out “The Anatomy of Peace” from the online Libby ...

Water Conservation

There has been a water crisis in our city due to climate change, failure of monsoons, unplanned growth in the city, lack of water conservation awareness, rain water harvesting. I helped form a water conservation committee in our community, together drafted a set of water conservation guidelines and shared it across all the residents in our community. To raise the awareness that water should be treated as a currency, I helped install water meters for all the houses in our community and shared the readings for the past couple of months.

Moving from deficiency to offerings

Spoke to my cousin for 3 hours. He is going through a difficult breakup and his anxiety was acting up. Through the conversation, helped him feel things he was not allowing himself to feel but also shift him gradually to remember the unique gifts he brings to the world so that he can move to a more open hearted space. We both left the conversation feeling full and nourished.

Sweet Happenings In The Morning

🏡 Things that felt good today on our block…. 💫 I heard the sanitation truck outside our door this morning (Monday is one of our two collection days)…..I went out & saw the fellow a few doors down & called out to him with a thank you & happy holidays…he looked up, smiled, waved and wished me the same. He always handles the trash cans with care & takes the time to go the extra steps to return the cans off the walking path. Some guys toss the cans down haphazardly on the path where people walk…this guy never does that. He’s on our Christmas gratuity list 👌🏻 💫 I was out on our front porch when the mailman was making his rounds on our block…I could hear his laughter as he was getting closer to our house(he was on his cell phone)..his laughter was infectious & was nice to hear.
