On my way to EKU, I stopped at a McDonald’s for a coffee and while I was there lady name Millie came up to me after seeing the bus. She thought it was so nice to see someone with that kind of message. We had a nice chat and I thought it was, for me, a great way to start the day. Thank you, Millie.
I arrived on campus and quickly noticed the now traditional “no parking without a pass signs.” I also noticed all the walking students, and after seeing a shuttle bus stop that was not being used, I decided to pull in and park. I left my flashers on, I’m sure that will help. As I was setting things up, I saw many students walking by a large bronze statue of a man. Many of these students were giving this man’s boot a rub. This was definitely worth checking out. Daniel Boone! This was a statue of Daniel himself. As I was told, rubbing his boot will bring good luck. I’ll bet they rub extra long on exam days. Besides talking to dozens of students here, I thought it was a natural for a picture of Daniel and Bogart.
I met Rebecca, who works in the mail room and she thought it would be fine to put a stack of stickers there where students could pick one up as they collect their mail. My thanks to Rebecca. I thought my time at the shuttle bus spot was getting to the end of its life, so I decided to drive to the alumni office, where I left some stickers. Everyone is so helpful when it comes to spreading this message of kindness.
Parking becomes available after 4:30. So, Bogie and I went back to a good spot and it turned out to be a great evening for us. We parked at a busy location and found a steady stream of students. One young lady, Morgan, ran up and said, “My boyfriend will be so jealous.” Turns out he saw me at a previous school and when he finds out I saw The Kindness Bus, he’ll be jealous. She held Bogie and loved the Kindness Project idea. She’s going to be a teacher, just like her mom. While I wasn’t planning to visit it, Morgan convinced me to go on Saturday to Union College in Barbourville, Kentucky, where her mom lives. That’s a benefit of having a flexible schedule. So, it’s on to Berea College tomorrow and Union College on Saturday. Onward goes One Million Acts of Kindness.
Whatever women do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily this is not difficult.
You should pray for a sound mind in a sound body.

It was wonderful to have you and Bogart on campus! 🙂 Me and my roommate have pictures and stickers that we like to share with others. Best of luck on the rest of your journey!!!
