more love

More love.
Our world can always use more love.

What is better than love?

Ask yourself this:  What is better than love?  Seriously.  Can you come up with an answer?  I called February the Love Month, but we had last month and can have more now.  Love is all around.  How wonderful, because I think there is nothing better than love!

the kind people

I love hearing stories of kindness. Sometimes on the local news we hear of a neighborhood hero or maybe in a Facebook post. The kind acts that people do always warm my heart and getting all the details is such an extra bonus. Sharing stories can be done here too - just add them in the comments below!  I really never get tired of here about kind acts and the kind people in our world.

Earth Day

Today is Earth Day. I happen to think that every day should be Earth Day. but that's another matter. Let's just concentrate on today for the moment. I talk here about kindness, and usually am talking about being kind to other people, but there is another kindness that is extremely important. Be kind to our planet. Be kind to the future generations who will live here. Today, set some goals for our relationship with the good old Earth.  We CAN make a difference!

Volunteer Week

This is National Volunteer Week in the United States, so thank you to those who volunteer. They really make a difference. Benefits of volunteering are enjoyed by the community effected of course, but also by the volunteers themselves, in knowing that they contributed to the betterment of society in some manner. if you don't already, consider volunteering. You might begin with your local hospital.

missing Nana

I miss my grandmother.  She was such a kind person and I have so many fond memories of her.  (Today would have been her birthday).  Thanks, Nana, for making a difference!

forever

What we do for ourselves remains with us, but what we do for others remains forever.  

No war

War is never a good thing. There is currently fighting going on in Myanmar, Russia, Ukraine, Israel, Lebanon, Sudan, and several other countries. Yesterday there was talk of another world war. This is nothing new. Throughout history there has been fighting and killing, but it doesn't have to be this way. We can actually sit down and work out our differences. We can actually respect each other and be kind. We can, but we don't. I really don't understand it. Let's all say, "no war" and mean it.

starting another week

As we start this second week of April, may it be a kinder and happier we than last, and may we all show more love toward one another.  We can all do great things.  We can all make a positive difference.  Let's spread joy and make the world a better place.  Be kind!

lifesaving blood

I've mentioned it before, but we can really never be reminded enough.  Blood donors are heroes.  Giving blood is such a kind and generous thing to do.  I am always delighted to hear stories of what motivated someone to give blood, and to keep coming back to blood drives over and over.  As a volunteer blood drive coordinator I see it over and over and so I say it over and over:  Gove blood!

Be Kind

It's a pretty simple message that I share here every day.  I hope it helps me be a better person and I hope it touches and motivates you as well.  We can never have too much kindness in our world.  Let's just keep adding more and more.  Be kind!

How about you

How about you? I keep listing random acts of kindness here, but what about you? Please always feel free to add ideas in the comments section below or to just tell us a story about kindness. There are so many wonderful heartwarming stories out there, and sharing is caring!

no joke

Pranks?  No thanks!  I've never been a fan of the jokes and pranks that are popular on All Fools Day.  Some of them are just plain mean.  Here is what I suggest instead:  let's find many creative new ways to show kindness.  Seriously.  No fooling!
