Stories of Kindness from Around the World

I just can't get over the fact that there really are so many caring people in this world....Sometimes we wake up and think about all of the world's tragedies and begin to believe we are doomed as a planet. I don't even like watching the news in the morning because the deaths and car accidents and flames that flash across the screen in loud red and orange colors are the first visual images of my day that set a somber tone to my newly awakened eyes.

To shift my perspective on the world, what I do instead is, clutch the remote, and push the "off" button so that version of what the world we live in today is shut off. 

Ready to reset my day, I make my way to the HelpOthers site on my computer, with my steaming cup of coffee in my hand. Here, I discover a world that doesn't appear on television screens. I find wonderful stories that uplift me. I find jokes that make me chuckle and I note the positive comments written about the posted stories from a group of heart-connected friends.

As I read, I transform. The stories where one man gives cookies to a stranger, or  a mother gives her loaf of bread to a homeless man, or a child hugs a police officer, are stories that breathe with life and love. These small-town heroes compel me to just go out the door and share this real live kindness with the neighbors, strangers, friends, and even so-called 'enemies' around me. I call a friend who hasn't called in a while. I'll add some smiles on a published helpothers story to encourage my online community of friends.

And as I give, I also receive. I am overjoyed to discover that I'm truly rich in Karma Bucks. In fact, with all this karmic bliss circulating, if these were real bucks, I know I would never go broke because love, caring,and all the good stuff inside us, makes us all rediscover how unconditionally rich we truly are. That's why you who ''happened to stumble'' upon this site and I, are here to make this world a more karmically lucrative place---one buck of kindness at a time!
