90 Days of Kindness – Day 42

Today I am in Chicago and was walking back to my hotel when I saw a homeless man on the sidewalk.  Every single person that walked by him avoided eye contact and did not offer him anything.  When I got up to him, I handed him some cash, looked him straight in the eye and […]

90 Days of Kindness – Day 36

This morning I went for a jog on the beach like I have done every days since arriving in Destin, FL.  While  jogging I was thinking about kindness and realized that I had pushed myself too far yesterday.  That sure was not being kind to myself.  So today I decided to cut my jog a […]

90 Days of Kindness – Day 29

Today we have been receiving off and on rain showers.  Some of them have been quite strong.  I noticed a number of car crashes while I was out and about today.  Each time I would typically say a prayer for the people involved as well as their families. I drove a bit to go have […]

90 Days of Kindness – Day 26

Today was a day committed to helping others in any way possible.  My son had shoulder surgery and I was grateful to be able to be with him most of the day.  It was nice to be of some help even though it didn’t feel like enough.  I was thinking about negative thinking after they […]

90 Days of Kindness – Day 25

It has been almost a month since the challenge began and I have had some very interesting experiences.  You may have read about some of them already but here are a couple of things learned this past week.  I struggled a bit in not being able to accomplish big, elaborate kind acts.  As I stated […]
