Tell Us Your Kindness Story

Changing the Law

I am sharing a story about my father, whose act of kindness cannot be forgotten and was the very basic start of learning. It was a rainy day and my father was driving his car passing on the highway coming home from work. This happened many years ago when I was a kid. The law then was not so strong...

Who's Your One?

His name is John T. Olson He was a US Marine and lived to be 21 years old. He saved 12 lives. He died 3 years before I was born and because of him I have a really big intimated in the Military. He Motivates me me to help others and even though I never met him I feel like...

Who's Your One?

Don & Marybeth porter and the wonderful guy at the gas station for fixing the tire and the tire barn people that stayed late to get a new tire on the van. We are blessed!!

Who's Your One?

My one is my mum. Very cliche but she really is one of my strongest sources of inspiration and she shapes me as a person to be kinder too. I would be nowhere without her <3 I choose this picture because of her kind and silly spirit, It was taken when we were goofing around whilst waiting for our train.

When things get really bad, my malfunctioning brain tells me that I’m not the wife or mother my family needs and I don’t feel safe being alone. This feeling can weasel itself into my thoughts over the course of a few days, but it is usually a...

Who's Your One?

I had to think about this questions for over a week... In my life there were so many people that came by, who ment a lot to me. I believe you always have some sort of angels surrounding you when you need them the most. I wanted to honour all of them. :-) And I do! But MY personal ONE...

Mom Models Kindness

My one is my mom! Cliché, I know, but true nonetheless. She taught my siblings, me, and everyone in our community to be kind before it was a "thing". She would spend days (and I don't even want to guess how much money) baking and boxing up treat boxes for the seniors in our community and then drove us kids...
