Thank you to Barb a former teacher from Seagate Elementary School in Collier County, Florida for flagging me down so I could meet her dog Jesse.
Barb has fond memories of our school programs and wished that Bogart had been with me to meet Jesse.
I love it when our school programs get the seal of approval from a teacher, counselor or principal.
The Swamp Buggy parade took place this in Naples, Florida. Loving a captive audience, I made sure the Kindness Bicycle got great exposure.
These cheerleaders from Lely high school in Naples, Florida did a cheer for the Kindness Bicycle as I rode by which prompted this wonderful photo. All schools should be bully-free, that was the consensus.
What a wonderful family from Saint Armand’s, Florida. Deborah and her sons “Dan Stan the man” and Walter David were so excited to meet Bogart and the man driving the Kindness bus.
It was Deborah’s birthday and she was thrilled to start the day with such excitement.
If you see a veteran today, or any day for that matter, thank them for their service to our country.
This winter while in Florida Bogart and I are going to concentrate on our efforts of visiting neighborhoods hoping to connect parents and children with our messages of kindness, compassion, respect, human to human comfort, gratitude and others.
Thank you to the Dooney family for the warm welcome back to Naples, Florida. Bogart and their dog Lucky had a great time taking turns chasing each other.
Saint Mark’s preschool on Marco Island, Florida invited me to come and visit to read Bogart’s new book: It’s Always a Good Time to Make a New Friend…many smiles and giggles in the crowd. It is very clear that Bogart has a big hit on his hands…I mean paws.

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.
