Anyone who knows us knows that random acts of kindness have always been our thing. We did what we could when we could. When my husband Scott died we really upped our game, trying to do a few times a month if not once a week, because at a time where we were at an…
Giving has always been easy for me whether a small gift for a sick friend or just because. Maybe some baking or cooking or even a phone call to someone who lives elsewhere! Whatever you need, I’m there. It’s receiving that’s the problem!
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…
I was walking along one day when a lady stopped to ask me about my shoes.
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…

My mother was in a rehab/nursing home for about 7 weeks before I brought her home. She died on June 9th. I recently went back to the rehab centre to thank the nurses and aides for their care. As I was talking to one of the nurses, one of the patients, who they later told me…
I was at a garage sale and a little older lady picked up a book she wanted, but said she had left her car at Walgreens (a couple blocks away) as she wanted to walk on a nice sunny day. The lady holding the garage sale said “well leave the book here and I will hold it…
At work one Valentine’s Day, no one got flowers from their SO, so at lunch I went to the local florist and bought a single rose for everyone. Even the guys. I got a different color for them so they’d feel extra special cause guys rarely get flowers. I had them delivered anonymously. It was such…
