I am blessed with eight beautiful sisters who have had my back since day one!
I am eternally grateful to say the least. One of my sisters, MJ has put her heart and soul into promoting One Million Acts of Kindness. Today is her retirement day from her regular job. With her caring heart, she says it will now give her more time to promote this mission…I told you I am blessed.
Merry Christmas to everyone.
Love yourself, so you can show love to others.
Be a gift to the world…showing kindness, respect and compassion.
This is the miracle of Christmas.
A huge act of kindness, painting of the new Blue Bird was donated by Mid-State RV in Georgia.
Thank you to this generous company and its employees for this high quality paint job.
I wrote the following blog eleven months ago in order to inspire others…hopefully many of you have acted upon its messageIt is hard to believe that a month has passed since the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. So much time and energy has been put into covering this story. City, state and federal branches of government have, and will work, to draft legislation to protect children. Countless groups, schools, churches and individuals have done amazing charitable acts of kindness to comfort, directly or indirectly, for others since that tragic day.
All of us should use an event like this to comfort those in need, especially the youngest in our society. Don’t wait another moment, for months, turn into years.
Thank you to the Blue Bird Corporation for the generosity of a donation of a very nice bus. This will insure that our travels will continue for several years to come.
Thank you to Mid State RV and PPG for the beautiful paint job to this incredible “Blue Bird.”
What a fun time of year. Families getting together, meals of hours of planning and preparation, shopping and volunteering.
This Thanksgiving day I decided to help with volunteering at a local shelter. Donna, who heads this shelter said they had one position left when I arrived early in the morning. While the lion share of volunteers cooked and served several hundred meals, I was put in charge of drive-up donations. Wow! I was quickly reminded of the generosity of individuals. I took in $2,770 in donations to help feed, house and clothe those in need.
I hope all of you had an incredible weekend.
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.
