Great friend, Dr. Donna Rohlf is a lifelong healer of those with mental disorders. She threw caution to the wind when she realized, during a near death experience, that she could save others by spreading the message of love around the world. The brilliant light that she shines upon the world is healing those in need.

Children, teachers and families from places around the world including Cyprus, USA, India, Spain, Germany, Costa Rica, U.K., Brazil, Canary Islands and Turkey are participating and contributing to the peace process with their Sashi Flags.                Schools, families and individuals worldwide are invited to express, explore and share their deepest feelings of peace, satisfaction and sense of well-being. The objective of this activity is to foster the awareness that “Peace is an Inside Job.”  Each person has an individual role in creating well-being within. This responsibility fulfilled as an adult is the main ingredient of a more harmonious world and universe.

Crucial to the development, however, of a more enlightened world is the flourishing of cognitive potential in newborns. Second to treating a newborn in a correct fashion, is proper DNA based eating strategies for proper neural development.  Nothing is more important during the first 7 years of life  than to prepare the body for its unique differentiated innate wisdom and intelligence. This nutritional information is  new. Parents or caretakers can now insure the proper brain development of their loved ones through a primary health system practitioner. This information is accessible with correct birth data- an up and coming worldwide human right.

You can never go wrong choosing love in everything you do. Every choice, when made with love, is the right one. Wanting goodness for everyone should be paramount in our lives. By wanting only goodness for others, it will make you the most kind, caring individual you can possibly be.
Choosing to teach love, in lessons of life to children, is equally important. This helps to build a foundation children can build their lives upon. It is the most important lesson a child can learn. Choose love, it is the greatest of all attributes.

While home for the Christmas holiday, I was able to meet with a few of my friends during my week long stay in Cleveland. One of my good friends, Greg Wasinski has become an inspirational speaker over the course of the past few years. He is helping individuals realize the importance of a faith filled life. He is a powerful role model to many. The following excerpt is taken from his website.

As an ambitious business executive struggling for lifelong fulfillment, Greg heard a different call to move his talents to communicate in the direction of sharing words of faith filled encouragement.  In turn, he became committed to use his creativity, passion, conviction and a wide array of professional talents as instruments, connecting others to faith and the positive examples in the world around them.  His goals remain to nurture those around him with positive influence in order to be the “difference makers” that can change the world.  Hence he now travels the country sharing his stories with good people just like you!

His tag line “Let me be…” originated while on silent retreat and praying for God’s help to form him into the Man he needs to be.  The Lord simply whispered “Be nothing more than what I created you to be.”  Greg has used this as the basis of opening up his own personal experiences as part of his witness to others.  He exemplifies a true care for our church’s future by opening up dialogue that reminds us why we believe what we believe.           I recommend a visit to Greg’s website, www.wasinski.com

The Kindness Bus tour had a huge day by 10am, visiting this Naples, Florida school and being on the morning, in-school newscast which reached over 800 students and teachers.
Laura Pacter, a mother of a couple of students, had seen The Kindness Bus in Naples before Christmas. She knew immediately the message it represented. Laura singlehandedly, put together our visit to this campus.
After visiting the morning news, we visited some of the classrooms to talk with the students in person.
Principal, Dr. James Gasparino, Guidance Counselor, Leanne Hope and  District Coordinator of The Department of Student Services, Diedra Landrum, Ed. D. were all part of the program, helping to spread the message of One Million Acts Of Kindness. It was an honor to be a part of this very caring group of educators. Thank you to everyone at Pelican Marsh Elementary for this very special visit.

Connections for future visits to this area  is the reason I visited several schools during my stay in Sarasota, Florida. Every stop was fruitful, there being an expression of need for kindness in schools.
Schools will be harder to access because of the tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut. Many added hoops will need to be “jumped through,” so I am doing the due diligence on this time through these communities.
I visited new friends, Jim and Lauren on my travel south to Naples. They have three Boston Terriers, Logan, Phalen & Rylan, and it was a joy to visit as the dogs did their own bonding. Bogart was in dog heaven, trying to find just the right toy to play with. Thank you for the generosity and hospitality!!
Yesterday there was an article written in the Belgian newspaper L’ Echo by Stèphanie Fontenoy. The story is below.

I love doing this!!!

Nearly three years ago, I visited the New College campus just before their spring break. This campus could have the most beautiful view, a two mile vista across Sarasota Bay to Longboat Key. Today I started at the Student Affairs office and talked with Lisa who already knew of One Million Acts Of Kindness. I love when this happens. She is spreading the word of my mission on campus.
Thank you to Tagen, a first year student, who helped with today’s photo and with the some of the goings-on on her campus. Chelsea, a senior, was very complimentary on my ride and thanked me for visiting her campus.
My afternoons and evenings are being used to promote One Million Acts Of Kindness Week. Other work is being accomplished with a goal of kindness for schools across the United States.
