I know a very kind man. He works every day as a handyman and makes just enough money to survive. I’ve taken him grocery shopping and he buys food for his cats and dog and bird food for his bird feeders. When I asked him what he ate he said that he cooked for his…
Whenever maintenance comes into my apartment to fix something I always make sure the area that they are going to be working in is comfortable. For instance I will put a lamp in the area to give them plenty of light. One day he, Bob, had to fix a drawer in the kitchen. Underneath the draw…
When I was in the 5th grade, I missed the bus and had to walk to school by myself. My first time and I was terrified, even though it was probably only 8 blocks from the school. So I did what any kid would probably do in my situation… I coaxed my old dog, who…
I remember a student of mine mentioned he was playing a gig at a church function, but needed a decent bass to play. I said hey, let’s stop at my place and you can use my Bass and amp. His dad said to me after, “Thank-you, but how could you trust a 17 year old…
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…

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…
