Collier County Schools is very interested in having a culture of kindness at their schools next year. Collier County Kindness Awareness Day is going to be offered as an option to schools throughout the county.
Thank you to Stacey Dooney, Susanna Tocco and Beth Housewert for their help.

Thirty-two lives were cut short eight years ago at Virginia Tech. I went to the campus three days after the shooting, stayed for four days and dedicated my life to a mission of kindness. One Million Acts of Kindness was born out of that tragic event.

This past weekend I walked 18 miles to all 24 police precincts in Manhattan. I then walked to the 84th precinct in Brooklyn as well. Officer Liu and Officer Ramos were gunned down in a senseless act of hatred. This walk was to honor them.

A week from tomorrow is One Million Acts of Kindness Day when you are challenged to do as many acts of kindness in one day’s time. Please take part in this wonderful challenge.

I attended a conference sponsored by the Holy See at the UN yesterday. The topic was nuclear arms abolition. All children of the world should be protected from harm of all types.

These past seven months of the Global Kindness Tour have been punctuated by several eye surgeries and procedures. I am in New York City for ten days or so and will make the best of what I am able to accomplish during post-op.

How many kind acts can you do in a day?
Three weeks from today is One Million Acts of Kindness Day. On this day you are challenged to do as many kind acts as possible. How many will you do?
