Caught in the Act

September 6, 2013 by Christine 3 Comments

Around this time last year, everyone on our street found a beautiful pot of flowers on their front porch. Every single house. The random act of kindness was delivered by one of our neighbours. His generosity filled the street again today. This time I caught him in the act. How … [Read more...]

The Hate Letter / The Thank You Letter

August 20, 2013 by Christine 8 Comments

Unless you live under a rock, you've no doubt by now heard about the hate filled, horrific letter that was sent to the family of a boy with autism in the Oshawa area. I haven't commented on any of the links that I have seen posted throughout my newsfeed. I just can't even imagine that someone … [Read more...]

Having Needs Met Unexpectedly

June 24, 2013 by Tracey 13 Comments

Before Christmas, I wrote about being the unicorn - about being a bit of luck for someone else, and how these kinds of kindnesses can keep circling on the breeze... if you keep your eyes open, you never know what might fall on you. I have no doubt this is a true phenom because it happens to me all … [Read more...]

Nothing “no fun” about KindMob.

June 24, 2013 by Emily 4 Comments

Depending who you talk to, Vancouver's got a reputation for having a bit of an attitude problem - a complex, even. We're distracted and unfriendly - cold and cliquish at worst. And even though it's expensive here and it rains all the damn time, according to a 2012 survey from The Vancouver … [Read more...]

my favourite thing of the week- a few good men

May 26, 2013 by Nancy 2 Comments

There is so much crap news out there I make it my business to broadcast good stories. I repeat them to myself and others until I am convinced that my own faith in human nature has solid ground. Two of my neighbours, who are very good men, were out running in the middle of nowhere yesterday on a … [Read more...]

Thumbs up for the kids!

April 12, 2013 by ChantelK Leave a Comment

The other day our very own Jen wrote a touching and heart breaking post that you can find here. In relation to that, she had a post on Face book encouraging us parents to take a look at the good in our children and embrace it, rather than focusing on the negatives. I decided to take her advice … [Read more...]

I see you through how I see myself

March 18, 2013 by Nancy

I was at a lunch today and we were talking about the bias we all bring into situations   There are hardwired biases that we don't even know exist in ourselves and they pop in unannounced and without warning. They may be subtle or glaring but they are part of us. Without thinking I said " I am … [Read more...]

Lovely.

February 13, 2013 by Tracey

While out running errands earlier today, a cashier handed me my bag of goods and said, "You have a lovely day!" And then I wished her a lovely day in return, and I left the store smiling to myself... There's a huge difference between that, and snatching up your stuff and mumbling, "Thanks..." to … [Read more...]

favourite moment this past week- Christmas Pageant

December 3, 2012 by Nancy

In the pouring rain yesterday, I went to my Godaughter's Christmas Pageant. It was two hours in a hard chair Several lines were forgotten Some characters shouted their lines at the top of their lungs Some whispered their lines Some nudged others, some forgot they were on stage and went off into … [Read more...]

That Time I Picked Up an Old Lady at the Grocery Store.

November 22, 2012 by Tracey

I met this lady the other day. I was checking out at the grocery store, and Ava Scarlett was busying herself pressing buttons on the Coke machine close to the exit sign. I stuffed my receipt into my wallet, and watched as an elderly lady bent down to pat her on the head, looking around to see who … [Read more...]
