Thank you for stopping by. The objective of this quest is to bring into being a culture of kindness that will extend as far and wide as the furthermost visitor to this site. That is, to encourage the art of kindness as a way of life for all of us. Have you ever noticed that kindness is contagious, just like negativity is contagious? In which environment would you rather reside? In other words, when someone does something kind for you, or if you observe someone being kind, doesn’t it naturally inspire you to do something nice too? And so it goes! Imagine – if you do something kind for someone/anyone/stranger/foe today, and because of your kindness, that person turns around and bestows a kind act of their own on another, how many people would feel the warmth of kindheartedness throughout the day? And it could all start with YOU – today – by performing just one kind act, then followed by more kindness tomorrow and the next day and so on. Because, do you know what? It will make you feel SO good that you will want to do it again and again and it will become second nature to you! The mere expression of gratitude (and often surprise) on the face of the recipient of even a trivial kind act can result in a joyful tingling feeling all over your body simply by knowing that you quite possibly made someone’s day. How utterly perfect is that? We come into this world with an innate need to be good people – the undertaking is not monumental – it’s purely simple and natural! Strive to be kind!
May you graciously accept the invitation to join this quest today and become a “kindness crusader” by seizing each and every opportunity that comes your way. You now have the awareness – take it away with you and aspire to recall it at every turn. How many times can you be “unexpectedly” kind in a day? Let me count the ways! You are encouraged to share your comments on this site about how you are expressing kindness and how it makes you feel; or tell a story of someone who has inspired you by being especially kind. Show your gratitude to those unknowing kindness crusaders by including their names, cities and states, so we can see how far we have traveled on the quest – and then tell them to check out this page. Who doesn’t like to see their name in print and read endearing stories about themselves?
This site will grow in time. Please check in again soon for updates, photos, quotes, poems, stories, and goodies that will bring about that growth – together we can create and cultivate the kindness consciousness that this planet and all of its beings so desperately desire and deserve.
Namaste !
