Kindness Idea: Send A Free Hug

Recently, I sent a gift to my friend, Michael Chase, who live thousands of miles away from me for his 24 hour kindness event. This gave me an idea that I think we can all do. Here’s the idea: Take 2 pieces of paper. On paper, use a thick marker and write a very big [...]

Be Kind And Stop Saying “I Am Ugly”

Yesterday, my wife and I watched the movie Penelope, an excellent movie that speaks out on self perception. The protaganist is Penelope played by the wonderful Christina Ricci. Penelope has one big problem. An old family curse had made her look like a pig since birth and the only way to break the curse is [...]

Timeless Legend – Michael Jackson

The timeless legend is gone in body, but will never leave the hearts of many – me being one of them. I grew up listening to Michael and watching his amazing dance moves. But what amazed me was his ability to affect many so emotionally that if you were at his concert, you cry just  [...]

A Belated Kindness But Necessary Video

I can’t stop showing off my dear friend Michael Chase from The Kindness Center. On June 18, he embarked on a 24-hour kindness journey for the second time. I found this video a little late so it is a belated “call to action” video, if you will call it. But it does not really matter [...]

Be Kind To Mondays – Be Kind To Me – Watch This Video

I thought I add on something else that I have found to be very useful  in explaining my last post about Mondays. Believe it or not, this actually did happen when I was taking my photo for my driver’s license and the rule is that you cannot smile. I asked the guy behind the counter [...]

Be Kind to Mondays – Be Kind To Me

I was driving home from downtown and along the way, I stopped at several red lights. I was lucky enough to be the first car in front of the light which means I get to see everyone that walks across the street during the short 15 – 20 seconds of “engine silence.” Everyone was dressed [...]

The Power of InterConnectedness

“If you are a poet, you will see that there is a cloud in this sheet of paper. Without a cloud, there will be no rain, without rain, the trees cannot grow; and without trees, we cannot make paper.
