Last night I had to go to Costco to pick up some things. As I checked out I decided to pick up 4 x $10 cash cards. But, how would I decide who would get them?

A feel good moment
Here’s a little feel good moment! While buying my chicken thigh fillets at the deli yesterday, a little old lady asked me what I cook with my chicken. She didn’t know what was best, breast fillets or thigh fillets, so I told her one of my favourite recipes. “Oh, I will never remember that!” she…
The positive really does outweigh the negative
I want to share something positive that happened today that confirms my belief in humanity due to the unselfish act of a total stranger. There seems to be so much negativity in this world, but there are good people out there and sometimes we are made aware of them when we least expect it. My…
The kindest experience of my life
I lost control of a vehicle on an icy road coming home from a thanksgiving weekend at my brother’s family’s house.
The kindness she has left
I know a young lady in year 10 this year who wasn’t planning on going to the year 10 debutante ball. Instead, she was focused on her year 12 graduation as her parents were paying for it and she would not have to stress. At the start of this year, she noticed a friend of…
Life lessons for my girls
Two weeks ago my girls worked together on an art project and we talked about how helping each other is kindness.
Proudest mumma ever!
Yesterday after church everyone had a shared lunch together. I made sure that my 4-year-old was seated with her lunch and then went to get mine.

It’s no real big secret that restaurants have a time limit for disposing food that has been prepared and displayed. Most places just throw out the excess and guard the disposal like it’s gold.
A circle of kindness
I’d arranged to meet a new friend for a cuppa and chat. As luck would have it, we both pulled our cars into parking spaces outside the cafe at the same time. As we greeted one another, I commented on a rather unusual brooch she was wearing. Merryn told me that she’d admired it on…
Help for a budding musician
While visiting the local 7-11, I overheard the customer in front of me telling the cashier that she couldn’t afford to rent her son’s viola anymore and that he was devastated.
Why Is Kindness Good for Your Health and Wellbeing?
When people, especially strangers, go out of their way to do a good deed for us, we can feel it touching our heart, but why is kindness good for you? My children and I were sitting in a doctor’s office recently and I was blown away by the kindness of a young boy sitting next to…
A little bit of understanding
My husband and I went swimming yesterday and as I was labouring up down the pool (not a pretty sight I can tell you!). x There were a group of people that came in the pool, brought in by a carer. I could tell they each had disabilities/issues of some kind. One of the young…
