I was going into my local 7Eleven to purchase my daily cup of coffee. I noticed a very skinny, sickly looking man in his 30’s squatting outside in the cold with a cane and I went over and started to chat with him. I first asked him if was he hungry and he replied yes,…
As a family, we have made it a bit of a tradition that at Christmas time we do a secret Santa with a little bit of a twist. Often it will be that we have heard of someone in the community that is going through a rough patch or hard time. Maybe they are currently…
When we moved here to our first house 10 years ago, there was a young man with obvious physical and mental challenges that lived on our street. He loved bringing the mail down to each house every afternoon, but he’d just drop it by the garage or front door in the rain each time. You…
To the two lovely ladies who helped me out this afternoon in the coles Kilsyth (Victoria, Australia) carpark. Thank you so much! ❤
Last week my brother was doing one of his long cycle rides hoping for a personal best. He stopped at a road junction and noticed the old lady he was beside was driving a car with a flat tyre. He knocked on her window and changed her tyre for her in the rain. I would…

The students discussed issues such as animal welfare, health and homelessness. It was the idea of homelessness that really struck an emotional cord with the students. Their overwhelming gratitude…
To the lovely lady behind me at the register at Woolworths in Seville (Victoria, Australia) just now, I cannot thank you enough for paying for the ice cream and topping that I was buying as a treat for my children.
While shopping just prior to Christmas, on a colder, windy day, I encountered a gray-haired gentleman asking for help. I was preparing to open the trunk to place bags in when he approached. He said, I’m not meaning to pressure or frighten you in any way, just wondering if I could assist you with your…
I call myself The Happiness Ninja. I dress in a Ninja costume and hit the streets conducting random acts of kindness!
I was at the 99 cent store yesterday (which is rare). I also happened to have cash (also rare — I usually just pay with my card). The woman in front of me had a full cart. She offered to let the boys and I go ahead of her as we only had a few…
