A 6 year old with a generous heart.

Wave and make our day project.

. In 2008 my daughter and I had to go out of town for a doctor’s appointment. We were up before the birds and on a bus before the sun was up. I had been so worried we would miss the bus I didn’t even bother with coffee that morning. When we entered the building that…
We all have a need at some stage of life.

A lesson for my seven year old
. I was at the supermarket with my seven year old checking out. An older man was in front of us clearly struggling to work his food card. Once he got it to work, the cashier said “Sir, you don’t have enough money for the transaction.” The man didn’t understand what was going on. I…

It was a good day!
So, my RAK worked today! Was in our local corner shop and an old gent, a pensioner comes back in asking if anyone had seen a fiver that he had dropped just minutes before when in the shop. We looked everywhere, but couldn’t find it, he was pretty upset as he needed it to put some…
Mistaken identity
. Sometimes I feel like I practically live at the grocery store. I was at the deli counter AGAIN and joking with the guys behind the counter about how often I’m there, and I feel a small body snuggle itself to my side and arms go around my waist. I knew immediately someone mistook me…
