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

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…
A young lad wanted to buy his mum a box of chocolates for her birthday. The chocolates were $10 more than he had. I paid the lot for him and told him to buy his mum a nice card to go with it. I saw them a few days later and the mum thanked me…
Last summer when I was about 8 months pregnant, I’d just finished putting my groceries in my car and a lovely lady went out of her way to offer to take my trolley back for me. It wasn’t much, but particularly on that day it felt like I’d just been given a million dollars and I…
We are expats living in the Middle East, and we often go past a dirt lot where the local kids play football. My girls and I were buying a foot ball for her friends birthday, and we thought hey, lets buy an extra one for the kids. When we drove past and threw it too…
My daughter Leigh teaches 2nd grade and she heard that school classrooms across the nation are making paper snowflakes to send to the school in Newtown, that will become the new school for the students who went to SandyHook. They will be hung throughout the “new” school to make it look like a Winter wonderland when…
