I’m so proud of my kids! They have done things from serve food at a local church, to help build community gardens, to educating kids about the importance of eating healthy and how to grow your own garden, to raising awareness and money for breast cancer, to putting together “necessity bags” for the homeless as…
I helped a homeless man today and he said God bless you and I told him thank you and God loves you.
I learnt about all the terrific things about being kind and doing nice things for others and so I invited 8 of my closest friends to The Good Deed Gals group. The idea behind the group is that once a month we do a good deed, either as a group or individually. Some of the…
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…
My friends and I have been helping a homeless gentleman and his dog for about a year and a half now. The police have made it more and more difficult to find them – with threats of arrest for panhandling whenever they spot him. Still we are always checking the spots we know he goes…

I met an amazing man called Greg today. He told me of the day 10 years ago that he’d been held up at gun point in his pizza store and lost his will to interact with his customers. He was so disappointed that this young man was so lost that he’d turned to crime and…
. I wanted to share with you a kindness I witnessed today. A little background to start. I have befriended a homeless gentleman and his dog. I made his acquaintance this summer – and stop by the area he frequents almost every day to check on him – make sure he has food for both…
