Pay It Forward Movement If you haven’t seen the movie, Pay it Forward, please do. This is one of the best movies I’ve ever seen on doing Random Acts of Kindness. It started a whole movement. Is your passion surrounding the Pay it Forward Movement?
Random Acts of Kindness: Reading the book Random Acts of Kindness gave me more ideas to expand on what I was already doing. I noticed that when I asked someone what act of kindness they received, often they did not even to compare to what I was doing.
Share the Health: Often in a practice such as mine people get to me after they have expended all of their resources. This is more common with cancer cases, special needs children, the chronically ill and wildlife and animal rescue. We don’t have a 501C-3 but I do have a special slush fund for such cases and usually match funds with services.

The Butterfly Project Carole, a nurse from Sonoma, California, recently joined a Manna Relief team on a journey to distribute health-giving vitamins to orphanages throughout Uganda. As gifts for the children, she tucked 1200 iridescent foil butterflies into her suitcase. In Uganda, she met the face of great need: 600,000 orphans. Many were suffering from HIV, AIDS and Malaria. For others, rebel strife had taken their parents. Send young African girls to college by purchasing a blue butterfly.The Butterfly Project

Post Your Wants/Needs Here: A page dedicated to connecting people to resources. Have at it and while you’re at it if you know of anyone who is a left handed gardener who wears gardening gloves I’d like to connect with them for a glove exchange. Thanks.
