I’ve seen several of this kind of videos but they always give me goosebumps. And it’s so true that kindness and generosity is contagious, like a virus for goodness. Don’t you want to do something good for someone else when someone does something good for you? I’m going to look for a chance to pay…

An 8 year-old boy performed one small act of kindness and reminded many of us of what is best about humanity. Myles Eckhert was visiting Cracker Barrel outside of Toledo,…

Broken hearts are all too common in life: broken hearts over a failed relationship, a lost job, a personal failure, a defeated dream, illness, the death of a loved one. Sadness and anguish are a natural part of life, but most of us are woefully ignorant of how to overcome a broken heart, how to…

May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be always at your back, May the sun shine warm upon your face, The rains fall soft upon your fields and, Until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand. To celebrate St. Patrick’s Day I’m sharing a favorite Irish…

You’ll want to read about this inspiring young man, Justin Riney, who paddle-boarded 2500 miles around Florida to help raise funds for water conservation.
