Peter and Nance are an amazing couple. They do so many things in their community to help those in need. They load up their van, Bodhi with basic provisions that mean the world to those who receive them.
One of my favorite trips they take is during Valentine’s week when they load chocolates, cards and Valentines gifts for the homeless population in and around San Francisco.
What an amazing couple to give of themselves in such a caring way.
I love it when the beginning of Lent starts during One Million Acts of Kindness Week. The values I was brought up with have a direct effect on my mission.
Bogart and I try even harder during these next 40 days to be as good as we possibly can be.
Kelly Corless is the driving force behind this wonderful sanctuary.
The mission of Antler Ridge Wildlife Sanctuary is to: provide care and treatment to sick, injured or orphaned wild animal; rehabilitate them back to their wild state so they can be returned to their natural habitat, actively educate the public to care and support for the ecosystems and the environment in which they share with wildlife, and; to protect and preserve our native lands.
They embody the values of One Million Acts of Kindness.
Denmark residents, Tony, Tine, Peter and Karen met up with me while they we’re on holiday in Naples. They are all about kindness in their daily lives. The Kindness Bicycle caught the eye of Tine, who put me in touch with the Mary Foundation which works wonders with bullied children in Denmark.
A young man named Jonathan, one of the students at one of my programs was recently bullied. He did all the right things and getting adults involved to make sure that the bullying immediately stopped. He did all the right things. Way to go Jonathan! Thank you.
I try to do my best every 56 days to make it a point of giving blood to a local blood drive of a town that I am in. There is always a need for your blood everywhere across the nation. You may save a life by donating and it usually only takes a half hour or so. I encourage everyone to try to do this on a regular basis.
Please help us spread our message of a Goal of Kindness to schoolchildren across the country. Your donations are crucial to making this a reality.

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.
