This past Friday, November 13th, was World Kindness Day but as we all know kindness wasn’t what was felt across the world that day unfortunately. My husband and myself jumped across the pond from the UK to visit some friends and play around in Ireland that Friday. A typical Friday on holiday started with touring Dublin…
It’s that time of year – wrapping up vacations and starting to focus on another year of school (how DID this happen SO FAST?). Each year most of us take the kids to the local Target, Pottery Barn, or local favorite store and load up on supplies. New backpacks, cute clothes, packaged school supplies and healthy…
A very different post from me but one that I hope inspires……. On my usual crazy day I noticed on my phone I had a notification of a post placed on my Facebook page. This was the photo that popped up. What appeared to be an article someone shared on my page certainly was not.…
photo credit A Girl Like Her Official Movie site. Bullying. It’s one of the hottest topics currently. Between camera phones, social media, and an egocentric generation that obsesses about the perfect selfie – I highly doubt I am alone when I say I am so glad I grew up in a time that none of…

I get sent all sorts of stories and emails these days about children, kindness, bullying, or average people doing amazing things. A friend of mine posted this one on social media and it struck a chord with me. In many instances we, as adults, stand by and ignore things we hear kids saying and doing…
I’ve made it my mantra during our 40 day non-profit launch to provide as many resources, stories of inspiration, events and kindness ideas – big and small – to share with as many people as possible. To demonstrate how even the smallest acts of kindness can make enormous impact on others or the simplest of words can provoke…
My new favorite pop culture word – “Philanthro-kids”. By definition they are kids or teens (“pilanthro-teens”) that have a love of humanity and partake in ”private initiatives, for public good, focusing on quality of life “. Why aren’t we talking about this? Where is the coverage on these kids and why this is an emerging…
This is my longest post I have done. If you read anything read the last paragraph that is bolded. However if you have some time please read. It may be information that might be useful for someone you know in the future. Thanks~ Kim I think this week made a lot of people think.…
