Kindness gone Viral

A friendly look, a kindly smile, one good act, and life's worthwhile. ~Author Unknown




I received a touching compliment yesterday. I was called an angel and how I went above and beyond the call of duty for a stranger. Sure I got on people’s nerves working on helping this stranger but I was determined to do what is right.  It would have been easy just to let it go and not do the right thing.

It brought a warm felt smiling feeling that embraced me all day.  I try to treat people how I want to be treated.  I am not the type to do things just to get recognition.  I am I guess what some may call a silent helper.  I felt good by just knowing that the stranger finally got what was rightfully theirs….

One good act can be life altering to someone.  It is so important not to lose the focus on the greater good while living your daily worldly life.  It is so easy to just be self absorbed by the world.  Almost like being a robotic being and forgetting what this life experience is truly about.  I always tell my children that one act of kindness maybe small to some but to others it could be positively life altering. 

This attribute should be practiced every day.  We are only accountable for our own actions.  We should do the right thing personally and professionally.  Learn to do random acts of kindness not because of what you can gain but because it is the right thing to do. Tell someone you appreciate them, do something or say something nice to someone and the list goes on and on..  The reward is priceless.

With intense adoption laws and allegedly thorough screening processes that a person goes through to adopt a child that, like all children, want to be safe, loved and taken care of. I still am a firm believer that there is a positive lesson in any given situation.  This tragedy is an awakening that the adoption process needs to be evaluated and revamped for the sake of our children who are are future.     http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2416514/Hana-Williams-Washington-adoptive-parents-Larry-Carri-Williams-GUILTY-manslaughter.html

Happy Columbus Day... Or is it Really?

Image
I think many of us celebrate holidays such as Columbus Day out of traditions we were taught while growing up and off course for the creative merchandise sales we love so much but should this still be a continued holiday practiced today?  Should this day be celebrated since we are fully aware of the history of the holiday and what transpired when Columbus reached a land that was already inhibited by people?   Should we celebrate the inhumane treatment, murder, theft and other unthinkable acts that were done to the indigenous people that lived in America prior to Columbus’s invasion.   The concept of the Columbus discovering a land that was already occupied always bothered me even when a child.   I always questioned if Native Americans were considered humans in the eyes of the welcoming people that was taken advantage of… As a person that has a diverse heritage from my mother and father’s ancestral lineage which includes Native American, i...
