random act of kindness

Tit for Tat

/ Kelly Savage / 1 Comment

Ok, I admit it, the title “Tit for Tat” just jumped in my head!  And this blog isn’t exactly about tit for tat.  It popped in my head and I went for it 🙂

Actually it’s a blog about a random act of kindness.  A lot of us have done them, received them and we have certainly read about them and saw videos on them.  Personally, I love them.

It changes the normal atmosphere that we have around us.  We could all be just sitting there and all of a sudden, a random act of kindness is done on us or one we witness and, BAMN!, our atmosphere just got lighter, possibly more happy and possibly effect us big time!

That’s what happened to me.  My husband and I were enjoying a little dinner at a local Chinese restaurant.  We were facing towards the outside and people watching (one of my favs) 🙂 and enjoying each other’s company.

My husband told me that the owner/manager of the restaurant had helped him carry out a water heater from the store just the other day.  As we sat there, that same man pulled up and was unloading his car with very heavy items of all sort.

I witness my husband, as he quickly said “I will be right back” and left his meal on the table.  My husband proceeded to go outside and help them carry the heavy items with them.  There, he was met with smiles, thank yous and that changing atmosphere became very real…..not only in them, but my husband as well.  It was very clear that it touched my heart as I just fell in love with my husband again, at that moment.

Acts of kindness are game changers.  Before you know it, that owner/manager was bringing us some free treats which, of course, if you know my husband, he absolutely loves most foods 🙂 and he certainly enjoyed those treats that day! 🙂

Random acts of kindness?  They can truly be the changing force we so need in the world we live.

Let’s take a moment to think on those acts.  Let’s start at home.  What can we do for those right around us today?

Bottom line:  Let’s be what we want to see in the world 🙂

 

Let’s shoot for making this Monday Momentous !!

Off to Spreading the Love!

Come spread the Love with Me!

I have embarked on a journey of spreading some love……

I love nature!  I love photography!  But I also love people and helping them!  So……I have combined them! 🙂

Please help by checking the website out below and consider purchasing a canvas print.  20% of the net proceeds is going to build a fund to help cancer patients and their families personally.

I have been touched by cancer in my family as I am sure many of you have.  It is a devastating disease and heartbreaking for many to see those you love die an untimely and sad death.

When my mother and father were on their death beds, personal gifts and acts of kindness touched our families in beautiful ways.  In such ways, that I would like to do some passing on to other families that are fighting the disease as well.

Please check out http://www.ourcanvas-4cancer.com and consider helping by purchasing a canvas print and being a part of a bigger picture 🙂

My contact information is on the website as well as information to my gallery.

Thank you so much!

Have hope – Keep Faith – Spread Love!

Challenge Anyone?

/ Kelly Savage / Leave a comment

Some people love to have a physical challenge to know they have conquered that goal.  Some love a mental challenge like spelling bees to feel the thrill of conquests.  I don’t know about you – but I really do like to challenge myself  personally to live each day as a better version of myself than the day before.  I like when I can lay my head down at night and know that I have done the best I could with what I was handed in this world called life.  Easy?  hmmmmm….NO!  Some days I want to bury my head in a pillow and either scream or cry……….the better question would be…….Challenging?  and the answer would be a resounding YES!!!!….but I like to be challenged in the emotional sense as well as physically and mentally.  I like to learn, grow, be stretched as a human and know that I am evolving into a better me. Not a better someone else but a better ME 🙂  –  You see, if we stop growing emotionally, we stop.  Game over.  Stagnant water.  Complacency.  Motionless.  Personally and emotionally we can become all of those things and our mind can just become dormant.  That’s personally how we become single minded or close minded.  I pray that I always have the heart to be challenged – to always have the hope in a world that doesn’t look hopeful at times, to keep the faith when things seem like they are falling apart and to spread love when I might be the only one spreading love at that moment.  Even more so, to show love in a hateful world.  Ouch.  Now that’s challenging.  And there are times I fail at that. Then I pick myself up – knowing I too, need help in that area and need to grow.  But I am willing to take the challenge and grow my personal and emotional muscles.  Are you with me?  Let’s spread kindness to people who might not be kind.  Let’s smile and make a difference.  Let’s do it randomly even when others are not.

 

Let’s enjoy life – Have hope – Keep Faith – Spread Love

Have a wonderful Friday!
