A Skip in My Step: Going a Little Beyond
Two years ago my husband and I loaded our car and took our two young boys on a 6 hour drive to Ottawa, to stay 3 nights. Our mini family getaway turned out to be a real highlight in all of our hearts, and my eldest son, Ryan, will still recall special moments we had there. A framed picture…
Man who flew too much grounded
HE IS the man who flew too much.
Steve Rothstein bought a golden ticket from American Airlines in 1987, granting him a lifetime of unlimited travel.
He clocked more than 10 million miles and 10,000 flights. He used his power to fly hopeless strangers home, a friend to the Louvre, and a priest to Rome to meet the pope.
He hopped planes to other cities just for a baseball game or a sandwich.
Everybody, even American’s CEO, knew his name.
“[I] became a hero at the airline,” Mr Rothstein, 61, a Manhattan investment banker, said. “I could just show up and get a seat.”
But in 2008, American Airlines accused him of fraud and snatched his bottomless boarding pass.

“Not every day is going to offer us a chance to save somebody’s life, but every day offers us an opportunity to affect one.” -Mark Bezos
Never underestimate the power of a seemingly small act to change somebody’s life. Whether it’s a surprise note in the mail, a smile at a stranger, or even just holding the door open for someone, you have the power to positively affect everyone around you and make this world a better place. What are you waiting for? :)
“A documentary on peer-to-peer bullying in schools across America.”
The trailer alone made me cry. You never know what someone is going through or what they have been through. Life is too short and wonderful to be wasting it being mean and cruel to each other. Be kind to one another!
No one has yet realized the wealth of sympathy, the kindness and generosity hidden in the soul of a child. The effort of every true education should be to unlock that treasure.

31 Days to Warm the World: Kindness Challenge 2012
In a world increasingly divided, a group of Minnesotans is starting a worldwide movement: to warm the world through kindness in just 31 days. During January, 2012, the Kindness Challenge intends to inspire one million acts of kindness throughout the world.
People who want to make a difference in the world are needed to help spread the word and participate in the Kindness Challenge. It’s free, and it’s simple. Doing something nice for others feels great, and it makes others feel great too. Most importantly, it can start a domino effect, connecting people around the world through kindness and generosity.
Small acts of kindness can be as simple as a smile, sending a card, opening a door or helping someone in need. One million acts of kindness create momentum that will change people’s lives and positively shift the world. Starting January 1st, 2012 – log on to www. kindness-challenge.org and click “Log Your Acts” to make your acts of kindness count towards our goal of one million.
