One Spare Moment

Quite possibly, you may have read this title and thought, ‘if only’, or ‘what would I give for a spare moment?’ Before getting to our Acts of Kindness theme for this blog could I pose a scenario to you?

My Yarn Group

Friendship is such a wonderful act of kindness both in the giving and the receiving. I have become part of a new friendship group. We have come together as a result of attending a very special life movement class. I wrote about this class and the unique human who facilitated it in an earlier blog,… Read More

Indomitable Spirit: 2

Earlier this year, I wrote about a much-loved mentor and friend of mine — and of countless others who have been ‘touched’ by her in her long, productive life — who experienced a life-changing traumatic health event.

Indomitable Spirit

I visited a friend for the first time in her new digs: a retirement/nursing home. This friend and I have been orbiting each other for years in the dance that is life.

Kindness Across the Centuries

Currently, I am fortunate to be enjoying an extended holiday travelling throughout Great Britain. As one travels, there are countless opportunities to be awestruck by amazing scenery, to be inspired by meeting new people, and to be engaged by learning new fun facts.
