I am really touched and inspired by your story. It’s amazing the ripple effect that kindness can have on both the giver and the recipient.
My husband is a terminally ill cancer patient and we have been the recipients thoughout this stressful ordeal of many thoughtful acts of kindness from many sometimes nameless people that have given us the strength to press on, one day at a time.
Thank you for all that you do and also all those that you have inspired.

You have inspired me to start my own kindness mission, thank you, and thanks to O Mag, where I read your story. 365 acts of kindness is what I am going to aspire to starting this thanksgiving (my favorite holiday), I am even considering blogging about it, but we will see I am a busy mother of a delightful little baby boy.
hugs,
Christine
