29-Day Giving Challenge

This is something I try to do every day and don't count it in my giving blog ... but I am becoming more consciously aware of it:

Be Courteous, Say Thank You to Those Serving You.

Tags: act, courtesy, give, kindness, minute, of, one, thanks

I think my biggest one minute act of kindness is letting someone in to traffic. i am a much happier driver wheni think about the others on the road as opposed to thinking about being late or getting there quickly.

I love to do a lot of one-minute acts of kindness: complimenting someone on something, being friendly to a sales clerk or cashier, letting people into traffic... In fact, already this morning I have paid a compliment and let someone into traffic! :o)

Angel Blessings,

I'm usually only at the cash register in our store to relieve the cashier for lunch or break, or if we're really busy. Here are my two favorite things to do in a minute:

If I see a gal with a pretty wedding ring on I always tell her how beautiful it is and then ask if she's a newlywed. Usually the person takes a look at the ring for a bit and smiles big and then says, that she's been married 10 years or so.

If a person has children that don't whine, I always tell the mom how nice her children are behaving. Mom's can't hear this enough!

I wave and smile to people who let me in traffic.

Well, I lost track of where I was in round two, which is to say, I wasn't doing a very good job of self-care! I recently had a reading with Mbali. I was very frazzled going into it. Had a lot going on in several directions. Then the house phone sta…
