. A stranger once comforted me at a school recital for our children. My son, who has Asperger’s Syndrome, was on stage and acting up, which had everyone’s attention and many whispers were heard all around me about “that kid”. I quietly left the auditorium and wept outside the doors, praying for God to settle him…
1 Yes, it was actually Robin Williams. I was 16 sitting in L.A.X. waiting to fly back to Palm Beach. I was at a very troubled time in my youth. I was not a good kid. As I sat there staring at my walkman, listening to Candelbox in one ear, some man said to me in my other,…
. I did a good deed for someone else everyday this past week. I had actually made this a personal goal long long ago. I do something for someone else everyday! It may or may not be for someone I know or that know’s me. When winter comes, I gather coats and blankets for the…
Recently I saw someone feeding the seagulls and was amazed that the seagull were feeding out of this persons hand! I asked him if I could take a photo and we got talking. He told me he was homeless and about his life, which rubbish bins he got his food from and how he had…

. I was working at a soup kitchen and have been reprimanded repeatedly for giving rides to the homeless or any client to the Bus Station. They were just trying to be cautious telling me that I didn’t know these people and afraid that I might have been harmed. There was also some liability involved….
. Two days ago my elderly neighbour came to my home quite distressed. She has been trying to deal with an unusual life situation on her own and combined with lack of sleep, felt she was going crazy. I let her talk it out and then we went to her home, and I stayed with…
. This is the story of a boy who delivered grocery at my place. My mother became friendly with this boy and while talking to him found out that he had finished his graduation in India, came to Dubai for work and as he was not getting a suitable job, he took up the delivery…
There was a man who had cancer. His buddies had a motorcycle run to help him out by raising some money for him. They called it the Brotherhood of Love run. He started to improve and the next year for July 4th he gathered up a few of us and asked if we thought we…
I love mountain biking. Less than a year ago a group of mountain bikers volunteered to form a pilot program which aimed to help inform and educate hikers and bikers about the trail and the beauty around our city park. Usually, the group does not patrol together, so we don’t get too much time to get…
