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…
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.

“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.” — Emma Goldman (via ardmiralgrg)

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.
To participate in the Kindness Challenge, or learn more, follow us on Facebook, and check out our website at www.kindness-challenge.org
