Kindness Starts With One®

For Random Acts of Kindness Day, my school's LEO club put note cards with motivational quotes on them in as many lockers as we could. We found a few of the cards scattered around the floors, but we were suprised to find that most were actually circulating the school. Even a few months later, my club advisor saw one of...

I became a very quiet 10.5-year-old little girl after my father passed away from a heart attack in his sleep. I was emotionally shocked and very short in conversation. My Mexican family culture taught me to not talk about my father's death, nor how to work through grieving the loss. I was daddy's little girl; how could he had left me!?...

.About two years ago I was l living at a homeless shelter and had been raped by one of the male residents who had started stalking me after I'd told someone what he'd done. There were some psychology stud err nuts from the local college who were there doing free counseling for college credits. After I told them what has...

The conventional view of kindness is for one person to be kind to another, but not all acts of kindness are one way; sometimes in an act of generosity or kindness, we both win and the world becomes a tiny bit brighter and warmer. Living in modern times is not always a picnic. For all the modern conveniences, such as...

I had something really great happen back in November. I was in 7-11 getting a $2 cup of coffee and I overheard a young lady, holding her son, talking about having to get him something for lunch for school. She was scrambling trying to find something somewhat healthy for her little boy. At that time I had been thinking about...

I am a senior in the MSU Denver Industrial Design program. My senior thesis is based on sharing and building community right at home through gardening and sharing with each other. People are very busy and move often, causing some to feel disconnected with where they live. A small hub that allows one to garden and share books may help connect...

I suppose the idea behind joining this community is to hear from Amazing people all Over the world and their amazing acts! I rather not getting any credit by what I consider is normal To Do as a human being,and being kid is one of those qualities .anyhow, I am a carer for my mother who was diagnosed with schizophrenia...

Hug mobs are 10 minutes of free hugs given o anyone who would like to receive one. It is fun! You can make extra signs or t-shirts for people to spontaneously join in. So far I have gone to several different communities in Cincinnati to offer this RAK. It is wonderful to give someone a hug who hasn't been hugged...

My sister is one of the most rarest person I know since she is so kind, believes in true love, always has hope, stays so positive and never gives up. I have seen her do so many acts of kindness to others around her where ever we go. As there is no such thing as a small act of kindness...

We replaced our next door neighbour carbon monoxide alarm. It started ringing out randomly on a daily basis. Marie is an elderly lady with a hearing aid but she has quite an independent streak. We finally managed to get her to answer the door and gained enough trust to get the alarm fixed. Once the initial hurtle broken down, we...

Whoever decided to write these negative comments about Hailey Omer on the Dirty (and I know who you are) you are insecure, and obviously jealous of her. The fact that all of you have to write negative comments about her show that you are insecure and ready to fuel your low self-esteems by blasting a person you barely know. I...

Everyday I like to go for a surf before work at my local surf spot, Bondi Beach in Sydney. The area is always busy with people exercising, walking, surfing, and swimming. The other day as I was stretching, I noticed an old chap walking along, plastic bag in hand, slowly walking towards me as he stopped every few metres to...

A year ago it dawned on me that social media platforms had taken a bad turn. Everywhere I looked, it was all just pictures of people’s lunch, meaningless selfies, and depressing news. I realized that I was wasting so much time scrolling down countless feeds viewing content that served no purpose. It was unbearable! It wasn’t until I came across...

Before Christmas, my son and I played Santa's elves and it was so fun! We bought a bunch of lottery tickets and placed each one in a Christmas card with a note that said, "Sending love and wishing you good fortune this Christmas! From: Your Neighbor." Then at midnight we dressed more like ninjas, rather than elves, and left the...

Earth gives us life. The human beings that appreciate it, care for it and love it each and every day deserve our planet's life and what it provides us with to live. The human beings that don't appreciate the life, let the Co2 burn holes in the ocean and kill millions of animals, skin creatures that live here with us,...

I just want to go over some personal experiences that have happened with me with Earth deteriorating! I told you about the time when I went to the beach and discovered the oil and how everything was dying, but I have had other experiences. One time, when I did go to the beach again, I went down and I was...

It proves that even though we need a lot more people to help out and join this battle, we have a strong force already and if we add more? A battle force so strong that nothing, NOTHING can defeat it. An unbreakable brick wall, so true. I am only 11 and a half years old, but I am already so...

Now.... I hope that you did what I suggested before on my other petition, Earth Needs Our Help, If Not, Life On Earth? Gone. You can visit it to see my suggestions and more information! I asked for that simple favor, but not for me, for Earth. I'm not spiritually connected to our planet, I just want to help it...

I find it very sad, and frustrating, that humans are ridding themselves of humanity! I mean.... think of it this way, Earth is our home, our PLANET, it's all we have, whether it was made by God or not. People have different beliefs, everyone does and I respect that, I do. People believe Earth was created different ways and...

Co2 is a deadly toxin and it makes Earth a very unhealthy and dirty place. My cousin said he went to Hong Kong and when he got off the plane, he couldn't see his hands in front of his face! They were just a blob.... surrounded by a terrible smog. When the Jurassic Dino's were wiped off the face of...

Look.... I have already said that Earth is dying, Sharks are being killed and finned each and every day, and it's all very important, but now....I want to just not be a downer for sec. I want to give a little guide book to anyone who needs it. Earth's rapid deterioration and the horrid greed of millions of people is...

I have mentioned before that Earth is deteriorating rapidly and needs our help, but it seems like I just can't say it enough! People are actually signing up to MOVE to MARS! We are giving up on our OWN PLANET. That just makes me.... feel terrible, icky! Yeah, that's right... ICKY. People shouldn't just give up and want to move...

The microscopic plankton is providing us with more than half of all our oxygen. The coral reefs are giving homes to millions of sea creatures, some invisible to the naked eye. Or maybe, the invisible is only visible to whom who care? Think about that for a second. I have said before that marine creatures and the ocean itself is...

Earth is our home, it is everything we have. I can't even list what is provides us. Life. Life is what Earth provides us with and it makes me sickened to think some people just don't care! They throw it all away. I am 11 years old turning 12 in June and like I said in one of my other...

Sharks are beautiful creatures and one of the most important species in marine wildlife ecosystems! They are also very endangered and one of the most misunderstood animals on Earth. Sharks are deadly creatures with slicing sharp teeth and huge eyes that can see everything, even some things humans can't. They have sleek fins that slice through the water with a...

I never realized how often I was committing random acts of kindness until I found this organization. Now that I'm aware, I commit myself to doing them more often than I ever have before. Here are some examples:

- When I'm out and about doing daily errands, I hold doors open for elderly people coming through those doors. Sometimes I...

I am a mom of an Autistic child and, although he is high-functioning, when something sets him off, it can be epic. One day we had one of those epic afternoons as he was tired and overwhelmed. We just left the grocery store where he did not get the candy he asked for or a toy and he was just...

I randomly received a Facebook message today from a woman I barely know that said, "I just wanted to let you know the quotes you put on Facebook really help me, becase they are so positive. I was just diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and often times the quotes you put up make my day a lot better. It might seem...

I handed my ticket and said 'good afternoon' to the bus driver. He stopped. Looked at me for 2 seconds. And said 'Twenty people entered this bus, and none of them said a word to me. Good afternoon to you too, kid.'

THIS YEAR WE (MY CO-WORKERS AND FAMILY) ADOPTED A FAMILY FOR CHRISTMAS. A SINGLE MOTHER OF TWO. WE WERE ABLE TO GIVE THE FAMILY TWO BOXES OF FOOD, CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR ALL THREE - CONSISTING OF AT LEAST TWO OUTFITS; TOLIETRIES; AND A CASH DONATION OF $250.
