I was stuck in an airport in Zimbabwe after visiting my family with my 2 kids aged 3 & 18 months. They said I needed to pay airport tax, which I didn’t because it was included in my ticket. This made me miss my flight back to the UK. I didn’t have a penny, either to phone…
I once experienced unconditional kindness from a car detailer when my brand new Celica was intentionally ‘keyed’ all over the bonnet. I was very upset and he gave me a cup of tea, sat me down and worked on my car for hours to repair the paint work. When I went to pay him, he…
After reading the book “How full is your bucket”, my youngest was 7 at the time and he showed how well he understood the process one night when we were out for dinner and he smoothly and gorgeously told our waitress how pretty she looked. Her face lit up like a Christmas tree and I am sure…
I thought of all of my friends at Ripple Kindness today. I was at the cemetery decorating the graves of my loved ones. We had so many extra flowers so I decided with the help of my daughter to decorate some of the other graves that had no flowers. We tidied up the headstones, pulled…
I spread positivity where ever I go. I was speaking to one patient last week at a cancer fundraiser in the chemo ward and he asked if I worked at the hospital. I told him I am also having treatment… he said “you look so well and you are so happy”! After talking for a…
My 3 year old son and I made a vase and filled it with flowers from our yard. We left it on our elderly neighbors doorstep to surprise her.- Bryony

Just finished mowing my neighbours acres. Why? Because I felt generous and it felt good to do something unexpected. They will come home from their Christmas holidays to a mowed lawn. Now crossing my fingers the weather doesn’t heat up too much so it becomes a mission to do mine. I left them a Ripple…
Many years ago I left my handbag at a nightclub. Luckily got it back the next day. The same day I was in the bank and found a wallet full of cash. I returned it to the desk and got a thankyou from the owner. I believe karma was with me that day as I…
I went to the movies last week and left a kindness card and some chocolate kisses for the cleaner to find. I stole that idea from you! lol – Camille 🙂 a a
Last week I taped a stamped envelope with a blank card and a Ripple Kindness card to the bathroom wall at the mall. It’s such a shame no one send hand written letters out any more. – Camille q q
We’d often see this couple outside working hard in their garden and watched as it was transformed from a scruffy mess into something they could really be proud of. I decided I wanted to acknowledge how much love and hard work they’d put into it, so told them so in a card and included a…
