. About a year and a half ago, I was on a city bus in Portland and an older man was carrying a plastic sack of groceries that broke as he was getting off the bus and cans of food rolled everywhere down the isle and out the door on to the ground. I had…
. Something nice happened to me today. I stepped out in public with my hideous red inflamed nose and face on the way to the chemist to get more medication. I’m pretty sure I got looked at funny but I just hoped people saw where I was walking towards which was the chemist to put…
A few weeks after we launched Ripple Kindness Project’s Kindness Curriculum, I was approached by a year 5 boy who had been part of the audience at the special assembly held at his school.
Recently, I delivered a bunch of flowers and some chocolates to a lady at TAFE who has helped me and the students at my school this year (I’m a guidance officer). She has gone above and beyond the call of duty and I couldn’t help but thank her for it.

A homeless person once helped me, in a major way. I needed to talk to someone about what it was like to lose a pregnancy, and it seemed at that time in my life no one in the universe wanted to hear about it. Except him, and he gave me his time and listened to my…
. Me and my three year old son were in line at Safeway buying a few items. We went to this store because we had to buy some boots for his fathers new job next door. I let the man behind me in the queue go in front because he only had two items. He…
An amazing lady named Sam who attended the Carers’ Pamper Day at Irabina (the childhood Autism Centre) on Sunday just sought me out. I was sitting there waiting for my son Tyler to finish his Speech Therapy session. Sam found me and told me that she’d like to give me a voucher for a Lindt Chocolate Cafe…
