I've got your back

It's during the worst times of your life that you'll get to see the true colors of the people who say they care about you. If you say to someone "I've got your back," mean it!

Monday Monday

So many people dislike Mondays because it is often the return to work after two days off (or for some, the return to school classes), but why should that be a bad thing?  If we work at something we enjoy, every single day can be positive.  Be kind to the calendar and be kind to yourself and of course be kind to others.  Monday can be just as wonderful as any day!

overflowing with kindness

Hello everyone!  Happy Sunday!  I hope you are having a good week, overflowing with kindness.  If not, you know what to do.  Get out there and be extra kind.

simple birthday kindness

A few years ago, a friend of mine wrote these words on his Facebook page:  "I have a request for everyone I know to do one good deed to a random person for my birthday. Even if it's just a compliment or giving change to a homeless person. It'll make you feel good and it'll make me feel good. Just like pay it forward."  I still think of that simple kindness all the time.  So easy.

Tell me a story

Dozens of times I've said that I would love to hear from you, and it's true.  I'll bet you have some amazing stories.  Share some.  Tell us your kindest memories.  Come on.  Tell me a story

transplant kindness

I was just reading about a mother sharing some very moving moments with a transplant recipient. The mother had lost her daughter following complications from a congenital brain malformation and the daughter's limbs and organs were donated, with her left hand becoming a transplant for a young woman who lost her hands as a result of sepsis. The donor's mother met the recipient, and it was a heartwarming emotional meeting. Such a great example of kindness!

what about today

It's Wednesday morning and as my fingers hit the keyboard, I ask myself what I am going to write here today.  Is there a new message?  Can I say something I have never said before?  This really isn't about new ideas or reinventing the wheel.  The message of this blog has always been very simple:  Be kind.  What more can I say.  Kindness matters.
