#37 Random Act of Kindness

Be kind to everyone you meet. I have three simple rules I abide by; be kind, thoughtful and generous. I couldn't imagine being any different. Kindness is built into my DNA and I am very thankful for it. Even though my 37 Random Acts of Kindness project is over, I will still be doing them.  My only goal for this whole project was to spread kindness to as many people as possible. I have had an overwhelming response to my project and I truly appreciate each and every one of you joining me on this Read More... [Continue Reading]

Bacon Green Beans

I have to tell you I'm not a big fan of green beans, but I am really loving this recipe! I think what makes it so great is the extra flavor you get when you bite into one of the pine nuts or crumbled pieces of bacon. Overall, it was a big hit with my family for Thanksgiving, even the kids ate it! It takes longer to make and I would not call it an easy recipe, but it is definitely worth it if you do decide to make it!

#36 Random Act of Kindness

How many times have you been in a grocery store or a retail store and seen someone knock an item off the shelf and not pick it up? Unfortunately, I have seen this happen way too many times and I will pick up these items when I see it happen. The other day I was in a store where an older lady accidentally knocked over about 20 angel food cakes with her shopping cart, I went up to where she was at and immediately started to help. Then a store employee came over to help as well. We got the angel Read More... [Continue Reading]

#35 Random Act of Kindness

Today I was out and about in a store and went up to a random stranger and handed them a gift card. It was a gift card to Chick-fil-A and I told them this is for you to get a meal. They looked puzzled, so I explained to them about the 37 Random Acts of Kindness that I'm doing. Then they thanked me and told me it was a wonderful thing I was doing. I'm hoping that maybe by me doing all of these random acts of kindness it will start a chain reaction for some of the people that I have came into Read More... [Continue Reading]
