Hello,
I just discovered your blog via The Finer Things in Life and I want to thank you for blessing my heart today. It has been nice to sit here in your company as my soup simmers away creating an enticing aroma that will soon beckon me to whisk a roux but for now I would like to share what our family does to impact our corner of the world.
We declare Mondays – Make A Difference Monday which could mean we do something for a neighbor,bring a meal to someone, buy coffee for the guy who pumps our gas, bring cookies to the lady at the deli, or visit the beautiful souls at the nursing home. If Make a Difference Monday does not happen we make sure to Try Again Tuesday or have a Thoughtful Thursday. :) Thank you for your post and have a blessed weekend.

I will agree that volunteering is a FANTASTIC way to express intentional acts of kindness. Helping others has always warmed my heart and been my passion!

This is just a beginning to a list that is really,quite endless. Thank you, Stephanie, for sparking an inner flame that should be rekindled in all of us. My hope is that all of your readers will at least take one thing from your list, and intentionally act on it this week!!

Hi Stephanie – So great to meet you at Disneyland! And I love your blog. Was reading this post and thought about your suggestion to “Give a Genuine Compliment.” Well, when I met you, my first thought was “What an amazing and heartfelt smile she has!” It really made me want to get to know you. And you have a personality to match. My husband and I enjoyed hanging out with your family before Fantasmic. Hope to see you all there at the holidays!

Thanks for reminding me that kindness doesn’t have to start with saving the world…it can be as simple as a smile. I am really enjoying your blog!

I love your list, and we do many of those and some different ones, as well. One thing I love is that we pray for others together. Not necessarily daily, but our daughter still catches on and prays for those who are sick, the people of countries under rule of a terrible dictator, etc. It’s amazing to hear your children praying, let alone praying for other people.

I teach my daughter to say thank you! She is only 2 but it’s never to early to start learning how to be respectful and kind. I try to use my behavior as a model so that she can see how one should act.
