To Be Happy…Volunteer
06/01/2013From the article “Resolutions That Get Results” on this weekend’s USA Weekend edition:
To Be Happy…Volunteer (and eat lots of fruits and vegetables)
“The upside of volunteering is well-documented… When people contribute to their community or an organization they are passionate about, they lead happier lives, have lower rates of depression and may even live a little longer than those who do not volunteer, according to a research review of more than 50 studies.”

Kindness Kronicles – 365 Posts!
31/12/2012
Well, I did it – writing or posting something about kindness just about every day in 2012. Some of my travels across time zones made it a little funky to keep track, but at the end of the year, I have 366 posts.
It’s been an interesting journey and I have learned a lot. I have met many great people along the way, and have come to admire so many more who have made me laugh, think, cry – and challenge me to use my imagination and just write! Thanks to everyone who has made the journey with me. I will continue in 2013, although I don’t think I will commit to a daily entry. That proved a bit challenging for me. I will say that I am committed to posting about the things and people I see and hear about that are kind, compassionate, and good. We don’t see enough of that today; we need to hear more good than evil.
I hope you will continue along the way with me. I wish you a very Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year. Not happy in the things you have, but the love you give and get. Not necessarily healthy in body, but definitely in mind and spirit. And not prosperous (only) financially, but in every relationship and decision and choice – may you prosper in your soul.
2013 – it’s going to be a great year!
