I Love a Woman in Uniform

Wednesday, November 2nd, 2011

11-2-11 b“I was praying that your meter was current because I can’t ticket a bus like this!,” parking officer Rochelle told me. I happened to arrive back at The Kindness Bus just as Rochelle came walking up to me. “This has a message for everyone.” Rochelle loves The Kindness Bus and has a strong belief and want to get back to some of the core values she was brought up with and on which this country was founded. She was a joy to talk with, and holding a stack of Kindness stickers, not a parking ticket. How can you not love this wonderful woman in uniform?
Gail from a State agency spotted The Kindness Bicycle at lunch and wanted to learn more about The Kindness Bicycle/Bus Tour. Unbelievably, at day’s end, she was parked just a few parking spaces from The Kindness Bus. She left with a handful of information which she is going to spread to everyone she knows.
Today’s ride took me through the downtown streets of Sacramento. The beautiful weather and this friendly town made it a joy to be riding The Kindness Bicycle.
Thank you to Jeremy, the Head Chef from The 4th Street Grille for the great lunch and the interest in The Kindness Tour.

Un Million de Gestes de Bonté

Tuesday, November 1st, 2011

11-2-11No matter what language you speak, One Million Acts Of Kindness is still an individual lifetime goal.
Gerome and Delphine from southern
France are visiting the United States and we crossed paths in front of the State Capitol in Sacramento, California. “Your bicycle has a good message,” Gerome said to me. He also said a good message of “Un Million de Gestes de Bonté” should be an easy one to spread across the world. I’m banking on it Gerome.
I made a surprise visit to the Domestic Violence Coalition not realizing how late in the day it was. The staff was extremely busy getting together last minute details on contracts by day’s end deadline. I hope to get back here in a couple day’s time. I was at least able to get some of my info sheets in their hands.
Tonight I used my membership in the Moose to arrange for a two night’s stay on the Moose Lodge 1762 property. The cordial group of administrators was there when I arrived and were so helpful in making my stay a breeze. Thank you to everyone.
The Moose International is an amazing organization with over one million members that does great things to help children and the elderly. They are worth researching and joining at; www.mooseintl.org
