Spreading positive vibes during this time of darkness
We are all experiencing something we never thought we’d live through. It’s causing a huge amount of anxiety for people and we ALL need to be mindful of supporting one another as much as we can. This means trying to focus on the good things and spreading positive vibes during this time of darkness.
The world is short of kindness
After so many bad toilet paper stories, I have a good one to report. Yesterday morning I went to Bakers Delight in Bankstown to get a loaf of bread for my brother. There is an IGA supermarket in a recess opposite. I walked over there to see if they had any toilet rolls as it…
Today I decided to tell her!
At the shops recently I saw a lady wearing an incredible outfit. I had spent over an hour scouring the shops not finding anything I liked. Usually, I would just think to myself ‘oh she looks nice’ but today I decided to tell her!
She was looking for something
I helped a lady find her car in the shopping center car park. She was walking around and I could see she was looking for something/someone so I asked her. “What are you looking for?” She says to me: “I have lost my car, I can’t find it. I thought it was around here somewhere.”…
I’d rather be swindled by someone that doesn’t need it than to pass by someone that does.
My daughter and I were pulling out of Walmart and saw a man with a sign asking for money. My daughter asked why I didn’t stop to help. I told her I didn’t have any cash. I started telling her about a 20/20 report I saw one time where a reporter followed a woman that was…
Our plans of helping a family went to hell
If I’m being completely honest, I thought our plans of helping a family went to hell when our fancy flocked Christmas tree flew off our SUV and into holiday traffic on the highway today around lunchtime. One of my generous friends had delivered the tree and all the trimmings and because it was pouring today,…
This teacher saves kids who are struggling to connect
A few weeks ago, I went into my son Chase’s class for tutoring. I’d e-mailed Chase’s teacher one evening and said, “Chase keeps telling me that this stuff you’re sending home is math—but I’m not sure I believe him. Help, please.” She e-mailed right back and said, “No problem! I can tutor Chase after school…
It felt beautiful to me
I recently took up McDonald’s as a second job. This afternoon I was working the counter and a man and a woman walked up. The lady asked him what he wanted. It became clear quickly that they were not together. He was uncomfortable. He was grubby, guessing either homeless or on the road or whatever….
The White Envelope – A Christmas Tradition of Love and Kindness
It’s unclear whether this is a true story or not, but to be honest, I don’t really care. It’s a beautiful tradition that I hope many other families adopt after they read this inspirational story. Enjoy! “For the Man Who Hated Christmas” by Nancy W. Gavin
Helping just a little was enough
I was filling my car up with gas a few days ago and noticed a man with a red gas can sitting in the roof of his car and he was on the phone. He looked pretty forlorn. I filled my car up but kept being pulled back to this man. He was off to…
