HOW DO WE CHANGE THE WORLD?

          ONE RANDOM ACT OF KINDNESS AT A TIME

                            Morgan Freeman

  “It just blows my mind that someone could be so generous to a stranger,” Savannah Stoneman said. “I just want to thank them from the bottom of my heart and let them know that their kind act has relieved so much stress I have been dealing with.”




Who is Savannah Stoneman? A famous actress? A politician perhaps? No! Savannah is a student at Coastal Carolina University in the USA now doing her student teaching internship. Savannah works twice each week at the Outback Steakhouse in Conway to help herself as “money is very tight.”

Savannah’s father was deployed in Iraq sometime ago and she has a tattoo of his handwriting done on her wrist.

As she was serving a young couple last Saturday night they noticed the tattoo. It made a connection with them as they had just visited a tattoo shop nearby. But it did not end there. The couple were moved to leave a generous tip for Savannah.

How much?

$500.

Nice, eh?

The story was carried on ABC15 News March 22, 2021.  “Many customers don’t acknowledge servers as people and don’t take their feelings into consideration. That couple is by far the most amazing people I have met in my time serving,” Savannah said.

In Hutchinson, Kansas, USA there is a woman who has some health issues. I don’t know her name. She had started mowing her lawn but did not feel well enough to finish the job.

Over the weekend of March 20,2021, Officer Wells. one of the Hutchinson police, passed by and noticed the condition of the lawn.

He could have passed by and gone his way, but - yes! here we go again!... He got hold of the lawn mower and mowed the lawn -without being asked.

A random act of kindness? Yes, indeed.

As a result of that act, KWCH Staff said, the police department wrote: “Our Chief has issued a challenge to every officer. What positive impact did you make in your community today?”

                           ===000===

 

On Friday, March 26, 2021 a man bought $4,000 worth of gift cards from The Dunkin’ in Beavercreek, Ohio, USA.

Really? Why did he do that? All for himself? For his friends?

No, not for himself, or for his friends. He wanted to help other people after this difficult year, the store manager Samantha Owens said.

“He really just wanted to explain how rough the year was and how he could do any way he could to pay it forward and this was his best way to pay it forward,” Owens explained to WHIOTV7 Dayton on Wednesday, March 31, 2021.

“Are you positive? Are you sure you want to do this?” Samantha said she asked the man several times after he made the request.

Food, breakfast, sandwiches, coffee, - it was all free.

More than 300 people benefitted from his generosity.

Yet another act of kindness and generosity in this difficult time.

The Greek storyteller Aesop is credited with the saying: “No act of kindness, no matter how small - is ever wasted.

LOVE IS NOT JUST FOR THE YOUNG #bbc #french #macron #france #court #rejected #mladic #genocide

                              LOVE IS NOT JUST FOR THE YOUNG On the same day that the  BBC reported  French President Emmanuel Macron had been "slapped in the face on an official visit to the south-east of France" and the UN court had rejected "Mladic genocide appeal"    the New York Times carried a story about Wedding Bells. Joy Morrow-Nulton and John Shults Jr. celebrated their wedding! The article (published on June 7, 2021) is written by Tammy La Gorce and accompanied by a photograph taken by Lauren Lancaster. I had been waiting for the story. Ever since I read about the romance that began on May 14, 2019 between the two 95 year olds who had "both been widowed twice after 60-plus years of marriage" I wanted to hear about their wedding. "I hope I can make it to 100 so we can have five years together," Joy said just after the wedding to Mr. Shults in Ulster , N.Y. "He's a delight to be with." They were both born in May 1926, bo

Waitress Rescues Child from Abusive Parents!!

       FLAVAINE CARVALHO SAVES CHILD FROM ABUSE   It was New Years Day 2021 and Flavaine Carvalho , a waitress at Mrs. Potato restaurant in Orlando, Florida was busy taking orders. A family of four settled into their place at a nearby table and the adult male signaled that they were ready to place their order. Flavaine took their order and walked away toward the kitchen.   Sometime after she served the family she noticed that no food was placed before the boy (who she figured was about 11 years old.) She watched for a while and then noticed that the child had a bruise on the side of his face. As she looked more closely she saw more bruises on his face and on his arms. She also realized that he was very skinny. He looked incredibly sad. While some people might have ignored what they saw and decided to “mind their own business” something stirred in Flavaine’s heart. She felt that something was just not right. She graciously enquired of the family if everything was going well and m

Alexander Doba lived and died doing what he loved !! #aleksander #doba #loved #planet #earth #mountains #kayaked #atlantic #ocean #power #Kilimanjaro #Africa #death

  WAY TO GO, ALEKSANDER DOBA! Aleksander Doba loved planet Earth. He loved its seas, and its mountains.  He kayaked westward across the vast Atlantic Ocean, all by himself and under his own power - the last time in 2017 when he was 70 years of age. He had done it twice before when he was in his 60s. “He was the most accomplished trans-oceanic solo kayaker in the world,” Fiann Paul said. Fiann of the Iceland Rowing Society International (ORSI) wrote about Doba’s amazing record. (But who is Fiann Paul? He is just the world’s most record breaking explorer and holds the world’s highest number of performance-based Guinness World Records ever achieved within a single athletic discipline. He was born in Poland.)  Aleksander Doba was educated at the University of Poznan and graduated as an engineer, but at heart, he was an adventurer. Fiann Paul explained that Doba became the oldest human -powered ocean explorer to successfully perform an ocean crossing when he sailed across the North Atlant
