Before pushing into Indiana this evening, I had a very busy, last day in and around Louisville.
Though it was a scheduled day off, I rode nearly 30 miles anyway. It was relatively cool and I want to keep my “banked” hours at 100 miles or so. Having great exposure in the Highlands along Bardstown Road I decided to also ride through Cherokee Park. It was a great move. I met and talked with many people in the park. Terry Meiners a radio personality from 84WHAS radio stopped by as I was taking a quick break in the park and asked if he could interview me on his drive-time show, of course I agreed. Rae, a college student loved The Kindness Bike she said she was gonna go straight home and put similar signs on her bike. Sherry was walking her two pampered pooches, Scout and Jack. She agreed to let her dogs pose with me for today’s blog…no Bogart, you are not being replaced!
A very big thanks to Patti of Louisville, a big supporter and cheerleader for the cause of One Million Acts Of Kindness. She wants to see this movement spread globally. Bill Dean and his wife Shannon who own a Salon in the Highlands, are new followers, they helped me with lodging and some of the comforts of home. Thank you to all the residents of Louisville for such a warm welcome during my extended stay.

Bogart is my travel companion on The Kindness Bus Tour for the next ten years. We will be on the road traveling to campuses across the country. Bogart is a eight year old Boston Terrier. He is a great people dog... he loves meeting new people. I am Bogart's fourth owner in his short 8 years of life... Not because of him but because his three previous owner's lifestyles changed after they took him in... Lucky for me!! Bogart is the luckiest, most spoiled dog on the face of the earth. He loves the bus and he loves to travel. Please come and visit him when we are on your campus.
The Blue Bird Corporation donated this amazing bus to One Million Acts of Kindness, allowing us the continue this initiative. It has been painted to closely resemble the original Kindness Bus. It will last well beyond the ten years of this mission. A very big thank you to Blue Bird from Bob Votruba and Bogart too!!
The original Kindness bus has been donated to a professor at Virginia Tech who will use it on campus and at schools in the Blacksburg area. The Kindness Bus will continue to inspire and comfort residents, students and visitors in that area for years to come.
One Million Acts Of Kindness is a goal. A goal for each person to individually perform One Million Acts Of Kindness in their life. Can you imagine a greater goal for one's life? It is a constant mind-set of kindness every day of your life for the next fifty-five years. Doing for others and kindness in your heart for everyone. It is my wish that you will dedicate your life to a charity... finding the passion in your heart for something or someone in need.
As a father of three college age kids I am concerned for the world in which all kids will live. A great way to create a safer, more caring world is for everyone to start their lifetime goal of One Million Acts Of Kindness. So I bought a bus, had about sixty family members, friends and neighbors help paint it and began a ten year journey with my Boston Terrier, Bogart, to college campuses across the country hoping to convince as many of you as possible about this much needed movement for this world. I love you guys too much to sit back and not do anything about this. Let's start a kindness movement in this country today to change the direction this world is headed!! You are the change that this world needs.
