The stories here are universal. I’ve not only submitted a deed, but also shared this site with people in other counties, states, and countries. Humankind has created too many borders to effect exclusion; thanks to all here for helping the world move beyond them! May your ripples become waves!

One day I was in the drive-up lane at a fast food restaurant and when I reached the window, I was told the car in front of me paid for my order. Knowing how much this random act brightened my day, I began to do it (particularly if the vehicle behind me looks like it is driven by someone having a tough day, on fixed income, or a college student. Instantly makes us both feel better!

I remember once I was in wal-mart and we just bought the kids a big blue bouncy ball. I got out into the parking lot, a huge gust of wind blew the ball outta my car…and I took off running after it…but it was just going to darn fast. There was a car leaving wal-mart they seen me running after it…he stopped and the passenger got out of the car chased it down for me, and then gave me the ball. It was sooooo sweet. He was so nice, just a 17 year old boy (or around that age) So I was able to take the ball home so the kids could play with it, which wouldnt have happened if he wasnt there. THANX!

I found that this is a good way to put a huge smile on a busy persons face.
When there is a red light and the traffic is backed up soooo much and you see somebody is trying to make a right turn…STOP! and let them turn in. It makes you feel good, it helps them out…becuase 5 oclock traffic sometimes it takes forever to get onto the road from certain stores, and it just speeds things along. Plus other people see you doing it, and probably havnt even thought about doing it…so then they start doing it also.

Late this evening we heard our elderly neighbor’s security alarm go off. We called to check on them. Thankfully everything was alright. They could not figure out how to reset their alarm. We were able to coach them over the phone and got their system back on.

I have psoriasis. It’s a non-terminal, noncommunicable inflammatory disorder of the immune system. For a lot of people, it results in large patches of scaly, painful skin and for some psoriatic arthritis.
Psoriasis is a largely unknown, misunderstood disorder and many new sufferers turn to the Facebook page of the National Psoriasis Foundation with questions when they are first diagnosed. I help by posting encouraging advice about various treatments and relate, as best I can, to their struggles.

Heartspring is a school in East Wichita that specializes in educating people with developmental disabilities. It was a pleasure to help them kick off their Lights on the Lake fundraiser by playing piano at their party, pro bono.
They invited me back for next year’s event and I’m really looking forward to it!

My daughter was five years old when my husband died unexpectedly. We received an enormous outpouring of flowers, memorials, food and other kindnesses that were intended for the whole family. However, one of the most thoughtful gifts was from a child I didn’t know who was in my daughter’s kindergarten class. The child sent a teddy bear just for her. The child’s parents understood the loss a five year old was experiencing and how comforting a teddy bear would be.

My Mom asked that I not buy her anything this year for Mother’s Day but to instead do a deed in her honor. So Saturday I spent the afternoon my “little” making Mother’s Day cards and framing pictures in matching frames. It was so much fun – stamping, coloring, putting on stickers, picking out the perfect pictures and just enjoying the company of a five-year old. Thanks Mom – I think you actually did the deed for me!

On my way to lunch, pulling up to a stoplight, I noticed a lady with 2 dogs. One had wriggled itself from the leash. Having been in that situation before, I pulled over offered to hold onto her one dog, still leashed, while she coaxed the other one away from traffic to safety.
It was fun and humorous!

I had a friend going through chemo and was told at what point her hair should fall out. It was recommended at that time to get a 2 inch buzz cut so that it would not be so painful to see your hair come out. I went with her to the beauty shop and held her hand and prayed with her while the beautician was shaving her head. It was nice to have a friend nearby when one sees the results for the first time.

I bought some little bags of cookies and bottled water for the guy who holds the “OIL CHANGE” sign outside a Jiffy Lube near my house. He’s out there rain or shine. Every time I see him I think, “What a crappy job” and I finally had a chance last Saturday to take him a little treat.

Despite the fact that these wonderful moms wait in long lines at our store to buy hundreds of dollars worth in clothing for their daughters, they still manage to keep smiles on their faces and act sweet. I just love it when a mom (or even dad) comes to the register and takes off all the hangers for me and even folds the clothes after I scan them. Whether or not its because they want the process to go by quicker, its still very appreciated.
MOMS ROCK!

Yesterday, while getting my weekly groceries, I ran across and eldery gentleman trying to open the plastic bag in the produce department. He was working so hard on the wrong end. I stepped up beside him and said, I have a
lot of trouble with those bags too, and turned the bag around and opened it for him. All the time I was proudly wearing my Do The Deed Button on my coat. Deeds can show up at any time, so take the time to Do The Deed. It all makes a difference!

A payphone I used today put my call through without quarters. Instead of leaving this problem for someone else to worry about, I decided to take a minute and call the repair number posted on the phone. If I owned the payphone, I would have been glad be notified about this.
