The Power of Our Actions...

The Power of Our Actions...
I've always believed in being kind! 
I was brought up by The Golden Rule...
"Due unto others as you would have done to you!" 


As a kid, I never stepped outside the box to do this but I would like to think that I was a nice kid. I was polite and I was respectful. But I was quiet and mostly shy. 
(Not sure my parents would agree but that's how I remember myself as a child!)

As I've grown up, this has stayed with me.

DISCLAIMER: I'm under no presumption that I'm perfect or a model for others. I've had my cranky, unkind, impatient days! I'm completely human! But it makes me happy when I choose to be happy!

Getting back on track...

I'm sure its these experiences that led me to be a teacher!

The power of kind has always been on my mind!
I'm no longer too quiet or too shy to bring kindness to strangers! I hold doors....Smile a moment longer after making eye contact...Strike up small talk while waiting in line...Suprise friends and coworkers with special treats I know they'll enjoy!

Stories of random acts of kindness bring tears to my eyes!
These 2 videos are 2 of my most favorite YouTube videos!

One demonstrates the power of our words with children.



The other is the ultimate idea of Paying It Forward!


Be Kind!
