Act of Kindness Day

Greetings!

  Do you know someone who has performed an act of kindness? Perhaps a person, or even yourself, that brought an elderly person to the grocery store, or you shoveled the walk for your next door neighbor. Perhaps you passed a stranger that looked kinda down, and offered up a smile? One never knows- that smile just might have been the answer to a prayer, and helped that person find a reason to continue on.

In writing the book, I have decided that we as Americans, need that recongnition-A day for ourselves to b e reminded that we are a nation founded on love, faith and generosity.  It is in the  cities and towns across America, no matter how big, that the smallest kindness has made the biggest difference.

 Christ for Carnies is full of these kind of examples, from strangers that were there for the briefest of moments, to friends and family that had been around for a lifetime.

In light of all this, I have written to the Mayors and Governors of towns and states that we had been through with the carnival and in pertenant points of 2009, as well as our President, to proclaim a national 'Act of Kindness' Day.  It would be an awsome honor to have a simple speach at a local festival in the Spring/Summer/Fall of this year, and an award given out to these every day heroes. Nominations could be made by you, the people.

 As this economically weary nation is still reeling from the tragedy in Arizona, and approaching the tenth anniversary of 9/11, we need something to celebrate, and it is high time we celebrate something of our own.

Will you help me, in having this day proclaimed?  Email me if you support this, and we will plan it together.

Remember. Caring. Compassion. Getting Involved. The smallest act of kindness can make the biggest difference.
