Ah - this was a cool little book. Now I have to read "Join Me" (which is in my bookcase) so that I can see where it all started from.

I've been inspired by many kind people in my life, and this sounds like just the sort of book we need at the moment. I've learnt that even the smallest acts of kindness can transform a person's day - we just need to keep our eyes open to the opportunities that are there. Just think, if we were all to do one or more random/intentional acts of kindness a day,
'imagine the world we would create!
Each of us treating strangers
as our other half,
where nothing was too much
for the well-being of another
and selfishness was forgotten,
a thing of the past.'
(from 'Family and More - Enemies or Friends?')
Thank you for sharing.
