Since joining this group my mind has been working on ways to be kind to people. And I am finding that thoughts have been coming to my head that seem small, but end up being huge to others. For example, some friends gave me a gift certificate to the grocery store for Christmas. It was…
I work at a children’s gallery in a contemporary art museum and we love the Ripple Kindness Project! We try to encourage children to explore ways that they can use art to make a positive impact on the world around them.
The litter that I buy for my cats has a coupon on the box that you cut off. When you collect 12 of the coupons you send it into the company and they send you a coupon for a free box of litter which is about $10.00. More than a year ago along with the…
My daughter and I just brought noodles for dinner. On the way to the shop, we noticed a bloke asleep on a mattress, so we put in an extra meal order and took back a meal to this bloke. When we arrived there were 2 of them, so we shouted 2 young homeless men dinner!…
I found some party favors at the store that have the smiley faces on them. They are mazes, and there is a little tiny ball you roll around to try to get the ball to get into the middle of the maze. I bought 12 of them and took three with Ripple Kindness Cards and placed one…
Today I found $6.00 by my car. I don’t have a clue who it belongs to so I cannot return it. There were no cars beside me and even if there was, the money was by the front tire of my car so I think someone dropped it. If I hear of anyone who lost…
When I was working at Starbucks, the longest “kindness chain” that I personally saw was about five cars, which was pretty amazing! Apparently one Christmas it went as high as 100 plus cars. But the coolest experience for me was when a group of three gentlemen came into the building and asked the barista in…
WOW! I haven’t even begun this project, just planning with the smile stones and making them and already good things are happening to me. First a nice young man helped me with my garbage and shoveled the walk, whom I have never seen before. I went to the vet on Thursday and she said “I…
I work outside on the road doing traffic security. I was in a place on the Sunshine Coast Hinterland called Maleny for a couple of months for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, and I have to tell you that even though I had to stop many many vehicles trying to get to…
A lady from my work has a broken foot and no family. I took her some treats in the evening and spent an hour with her. It made us both happy and cost nothing! – Shirley
This year I bought a gift for someone I know who has no family nearby. I presented them with their gift on Christmas day and invited them to spend some time with my family with no obligation to come over. It felt good sharing my family’s Christmas with someone who would otherwise be alone. –…
Our second child would of been about 6 or 7 when we were eating at a food court in Cabramatta and a man dropped a wallet full of cash. Our boy saw it and without hesitation, he picked up the wallet and handed it back to the man. The man and his wife was so…
