It’s only a little thing, but I was at the supermarket the other day and there was a girl in front of me that looked about 12. She had brought some things – I think they were lollies – but not many. The lady rang them up and told her the amount. She pulled out…
I gave 57 kindness hampers out at John Hunter Hospital in Newcastle with Mr Matthew age 3. We made people cry just by showing kindness by listening to them. I gave my time and I was given so much more in return. I was given hugs, smiles and genuine thanks, and even got shouted a…
I gave a couple a lift home as they were waiting too long for a taxi which didn’t come. I also hugged & kissed all my clients as I always do, sent messages of love to my friends & a couple of anonymous love letters left around for people to find. My kids did this…
My husband lost his wallet on the road one evening when he pulled over to check something on his truck. Didn’t even notice until next morning when left for work. I was just getting ready to call and cancel everything after we looked absolutely everywhere, when the door bell rang and there was a good…
My sons both play competition tennis in the same team on Saturday mornings. They are 9 and 11 years old and love being able to play together. Recently, Saturday morning tennis was transformed when my eldest son came up against a boy just as strong as him in his singles match. They both played an…
One of the small things I do that not only surprises people, but also puts a smile on their faces is when I go to pay for my groceries at the supermarket & the cashier asks me if I got Fly Buys (loyalty program). I say no & offer my points to the person behind me….
I answered an advert and from a lady looking for a fish tank for her daughter. I had a small tank complete with all the bits, it just needs fish and water. She said it was perfect and asked what I wanted for it. I gave her one of the kindness card I got from…
When I make up a big batch of soup, I put leftovers in containers & drop it off to some of the seniors in my area. It makes them so happy as they tell me when I drop off the Pumpkin, Pea & Ham etc that it’s something they don’t make anymore due to cost, time, wastage…
My partner and daughter call me the Enviro bag queen (as I have so many of them LOL). I have been at the shops when someone’s plastic bag has broken and I’ve offered them one of my enviro bags. Their look of surprise and appreciation is great.
My partner and I won a weekend stay at the casino and we were given various vouchers as part of the stay. As we don’t drink coffee, we offered our coffee vouchers to a couple of senior women who were most thankful & asked several times are we sure and do we want money for…
One of my nana’s told me once that the thing she loved most about me is my thoughtfulness and kindness to others, and not expecting anything in return. She is sadly no longer with me, but that is one thing I will never forget and when times are real tough for me, those few words…
When I went through cancer treatment, my friends at school purchased a Wizard of Oz pin set and each of us wore one of the pins. I wore the lion since I needed lots of courage. Once my treatment was over everyone gave me their pins and they served to remind me what an awesome support…
