Just thought I would share with you a little something my husband and I did at the weekend. We were speaking to a homeless man and his dog after getting him a hot chocolate, pastries and some dog treats, when he told us his blankets had all got wet in the night and they were…
OMG!! I am so excited right now that I am going to share a good story that has happend to me. Even though I don’t post every time I do a kind act, I have been performing acts of kindness reguraly since joining Ripple and leaving the kindness cards with my good deeds. I don’t…
I love Ripple Kindness. ♥ I haven’t gone and done anything way out there yet, but reading Ripple’s facebook page has changed the way that I am thinking. I was at the opp shop yesterday and bought some school shoes. They only cost me $2 but I donated them to a little one at school with…
It was a 36 degree day and my daughter and I were stuck on the roadside with flat tyre. I didn’t have strength to undo the bolts to change it. A man drove past in the other direction, saw us, turned around, and offered his help. He changed our tyre so we could be on…
Last September I was feeling pretty miserable and stressed. My sister’s husband had suddenly abandoned her and their kids, leaving her unable to cope and the kids highly distressed. My own kids were also affected. I was 3 months into an acting job which should have been ideal but my (childless) superviser was micromanaging me…
This has been quite a week for us as my daughter has a serious concussion and has been out of school all week. She was very upset to learn that she was going to have to stay home on Valentines Day. The kids buy candy grams for each other and she was expecting some (from…
Years ago I had an accident and my leg was pretty badly injured. I couldn’t get into the shower or bath to wash my hair and couldn’t stand at the sink to wash it either. I had to use both hands to support myself to stand. My dear friend Laurel came around and washed my…
I was paying for my lunch yesterday and the lady in the queue in front of me only had a $20 to pay with. The lady behind the counter didn’t have any coins to give her back and she needed .80c, so I handed it to the lady. Both seemed quiet shocked a stranger would…
Last year I ran a fundraiser for a very ill little boy we’d never met who has stage 4 neuoblastoma. I held a musical concert, where my musician friends all performed for nothing, and we raised around $1500.00. The lady who runs Ripple, kindly donated some of these beautiful Ripple Kindness Cards, so I handed…
I went to the Big Apple Circus here in Atlanta GA last Sunday with my very best guy friend (besides my hubby of course). Our birthdays are close together and we have celebrated them together for over 20 years, usually by going to the circus. My friend dropped his water bottle under the bleachers, so…
I feel privileged to be a member of the human race today. Yesterday, whilst travelling back from the glorious mountain forests of Alishan, Taiwan, a problem arose due to some poor pronunciation. Who was to know that there was also a Shanghua as well as a Changhua? Hence a journey in the complete opposite direction….
About a month ago I was waiting for a bus that was taking quite a while. The place where I was waiting is a terminal for many buses and also a train that facilitates the access to the buses. As I was waiting I saw a car pull up far from the train entrance. What…
