- About me:
- In 2007, I started The Kindness Center with the vision of creating a more peaceful and kindhearted world. Our mission is to inspire kind behavior at school, work, and during all aspects of life.
In addition to our teachings, we also believe that "You must be the change that you want to see in the world." Each month, The Kindness Center is dedicated to projects that celebrate the spirit of performing random acts of kindness. Our events such as “24 Hours of Kindness,” “3000 Miles of Kindness,” and “Remembering Kindness,” have touched thousands of lives and sparked a kindness revolution all over the world!
It has been an amazing first year for us. Our goal is to reach as many people as possible in our efforts to achieve Global Kindness. To view the work we are doing please feel free to visit... www.thekindnesscenter.com
With kindness and gratitude,
Michael

But the truth is, life was not always this good. It wasn’t all that long ago, when the resume’ of my life looked radically dif… Continue

I have decided that giving is going to be my way of life. The joy is so overwhelming. And what I have been getting back just blows me away. If I could describe the biggest change that has occurred in my life in less than 2 weeks of giving, I would s…
Glad to hear you doing this. We need to take care of ourselves as well as others or it doesn't work. Hope you are rested and headache free soon.
There's something special about giving like this - and you never know when the chance will come. What a lovely gift.
Sending prayers for your friend and for you. May he soon be well and home!
My mother and I were invited to her brother's house today for Christmas dinner. I am not in the habit of taking a gift for the hostess and we had been told not to bring anything, but I decided this would be my big give for the day. I stopped at Food…
My day started early with breakfast with a good friend. I gave her Christmas gift to her, an herb keeper. During the summer I would bring her herbs from my garden in a ziploc, but found a very cool herb keeper that holds them upright in a small amou…

Glad you had such a beautiful day with your friend and your dog and the quiet solitude. You deserve many such days. love from Pauline
I think your gift was your willingness to receive from your family. It sounds to me like your giving is wearing off on them - how loveloy!
How exciting to get your medicine necklace! I keep looking at that as a give to myself as well. I send prayers your way for your family - I'm sure your support of them during their time of need is a perfect gift!
Today was a good 'mindful' day. I tried really, really hard to stay connected to all humans, nature, God etc.... First I took our yellow lab for a nice long walk (he LOVES his walks). The sky was overcast and grey and I really relished the quiet and…
Wow - great first day! Wait unitl you see how this challenge transforms you.
Harriet, this is beautiful. You are sharing your faith in God. I like that your love (as well as your daughter's love by her mission work) is being "sent around the world." As the crosses are sentimental to you, you must have received word from God…
