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…
I did not see this, but became very proud of my son when another parent found me and told me what she had just witnessed at our first Cub scout meeting. The kids were making all sorts of crafts and my son was working on a hobby horse on a stick. It was made out…
Today I went to my hairdresser and she did her magic! I thought my friend and I were going in together to get her a Christmas gift, but it did not work out like that. While she was doing my hair and we were talking, she told me what she liked to order at Starbucks….
I am a 5th grade teacher in Normangee, Texas, and this year for Christmas, the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade kids came together and gave items of need to our soldiers overseas. My 5th graders never complained or said a word about why they wouldn’t receive a gift for Christmas. These kids understand that Christmas…
I’m a member of the Kruzin Eagle Riding Group and we heard of a need in our community. A young mother’s child had been abused by his father and almost died. Now, she is under investigation to see if she is a good mother and able to provide for her boy. We called out the troops…
We’ve just returned after some beautiful days down the beach with my husbands family, but before we left we made a heap of brownies and cookies and bagged them up and put Christmas ribbon on them. My boys had so much fun sneaking up to houses in our street and hanging a bag on their doorknob,…
At the restaurant where we had Christmas lunch (thank you Grandma!), a little boy at the table behind us was unhappy and couldn’t settle to eat his food. As his Daddy was walking him around the room to settle him, I reached over to his high chair and left a coloring book and crayon that…
My family and I went out for a game of squash today. On the way home, we saw the cutest little girls manning a lemonade stand outside their house. A big sign said “FREE LEMONADE”. My husband instinctively knew he had to stop the car and off I went with lollies and kids Ripple Kindness Cards.
Mum sells flowers at her work. She works at a really nice fruit/veg/cheeses/ specialty type shop. Â Well this lady, out of the blue, no prompting, no nothing, gave Mum an extra $6 after paying for her groceries. She said to mum the next person to come in here, tell them to pick themselves a…
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…
