I love stopping by Antler Ridge Wildlife Sanctuary as often as I can. They do amazing work here, helping wildlife to grow old enough and strong enough to be released back in nature and have a fighting chance to survive. Today I was invited to feed a black bear that will stay here until it is 120 pounds in December
Five school programs today at Bakerfield Elementary School in Aberdeen, Maryland in between a 3 hour drive in the morning and a 3 hour drive in the evening. It was a very long day but Bogart and I are settled in and ready for another day of programs tomorrow.
What a very nice way to round out the day with a visit to Fruitland Primary School. The students and teachers were very excited to have the Kindness Bus Tour come to their school for an afternoon visit. Thank you to all, including the PTA, for your support of my mission.
Fun visit to the Salisbury School. What a great way for the students to learn about kindness
Thank you to Pastor Sharon and Pastor Martin for the very warm welcome to their Community of Joy church in Salisbury, Maryland. I was invited to talk at two services with very interested individuals. I love a lot of questions and feedback after my talks and I certainly was pleased with the reception. It was a day I will hold in my heart for a very long time.
Great morning for the eRACE the Stigma 5K run in Salisbury this morning. Thank you everyone and for the special parking privilege to have the Kindness Bus front and center. This was certainly a race for a good cause.
After nearly 7 years of riding the Kindness Bicycle, if Sammy the Sea Gull from Salisbury University wants to take off with it, he’s more than welcome. Just kidding of course.

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.
