Week 25: Creating Stronger Ties

Posted in Children, Friends, Random Acts of Kindness, tagged , , , on June 25, 2010 | 4 Comments »

A week or so ago, nestled in my mailbox among magazines, bank statements, and bills lay a personal letter.  Surprising, in this era of online communication. Aside from a few die-hard friends who still send snail mail Christmas cards and a couple who send birthday wishes, everyone corresponds by email. It’s June, so no Christmas [...]

Our Monthly Impact “Happiness Challenge” is chugging along nicely. As always, we wish there were more people participating, but we send our thanks to all who are getting involved.

Week 24: Charity at Home

Posted in Military, Random Acts of Kindness, tagged on June 16, 2010 |

I admit it. When I’m heading down a road with my destination in sight, I don’t always see the beauty and opportunities offered along the side of the road. I’m too busy concentrating on that destination. From the first day of this month, my “tunnel vision” has been put to the test. But, I’m learning [...]

Week 23: Helping a “Friend”

‘Twas once that defining a friend was simple. A friend used to be someone whose company I enjoyed, someone I’d seek out to spend time with, someone who I could count on and who could count on me.

We hope everyone will “play.” As [...]

May MIC: RAoK Wins All ‘Round

Posted in Monthly Impact Challenges (MIC), Personal Development, Random Acts of Kindness, tagged , on June 7, 2010 |

If Impact were judged by variety and creativity, May’s Monthly Impact Challenge of Random Acts of Kindness would certainly get two thumbs up. But, we mostly judge Impact by impact. Based on that criterion, May’s RAoK month was a winner by miles! Thanks go to everyone who played along with us and submitted RAoK and [...]

Week 22: Pollinating Happiness. Bzzzz.

Posted in Personal Development, Random Acts of Kindness, tagged , , , on June 1, 2010 | 6 Comments »

A friend of mine fell upon a funny little website the other day and passed it along. I can’t help but share and make it into this week’s Impact Effort. We hope you’ll consider coming along. The website is Butter Bee Happy (yes, we agree, it’s a really silly name) and simply put, it’s a [...]
