Random Acts of Kindness

I am a follower of Random Acts of Kindness. For too many years I have been consumed by the be more, have more, consume more mentality. I was warmed by a recent story I heard of a famous restaurant er sitting on a park bench in Sydney. A homeless man approached him and offered the only possession owned - his blanket. The restaurateur was so touched he sold his restaurant and set up a charity that now feeds hundreds of homeless people a night. I am very lucky to have a friend Gwen who lives by this philosophy. She has shown me how the power of random acts of kindness make such a difference to the world.

I encourage those lucky enough to have cable TV to tune into the secret millionaire. You will be warmed and humbled by the stories told of random acts of kindness.

Think what a better place the world would be if we all committed to one random act of kindness per day.

I challenge you!
