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 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!

I volunteered to sew costumes for Old Cowtown Museum. They had all the supplies and just needed someone with sewing skills.

Went by the tailors to pick up a pair of pants. There was a lady with an overflowing basket full of clothes to be taken in. She was already working with the seamstress but she asked that the seamstress please help me before continuing with the rest of her basket Thank you!
