| “Do a deed of simple kindness; though its end you may not see, it may reach, like widening ripples, down a long eternity.” — Joseph Norris |

 “I have just done something out of the ordinary, and it felt fantastic. I found myself with a couple of hours free and nothing to do so I decided to go to a low cost supermarket and made up three bags of food costing about 10 pounds each. I then proceeded to drive to a very deprived part of my town. I knocked on the three most shabby looking doors and waited. Once the door was answered, I simply said: “I know things can be hard sometimes and we all need a little help, I hope this comes in handy.” I handed over the shopping, smiled, turned around and walked away. The look on the people’s faces was priceless. The food fed the people and the gesture fed my soul.” — etseth

| “I simply believe that my life is meant to be a life of giving and gratitude. The giving of myself, of positive acts and words, to enhance others lives as well as my own. I do enjoy bringing smiles to the faces of children and the elders. My heart is happy when kindness is given and received… I hope to do some good by sharing on this site. Thanks for the opportunity to pay it forward! Love to you all!” Lisa20 |
