I (31 Female) dropped out of school more times than I can remember. I finished undergrad last year and found a masters program that was tailored to exactly what I want to a T. I applied to this school twice in undergrad and got rejected. This has been the school of my dreams since I was a child, I grew up around it, supported the teams since I was a kid and always drove by it wanted to go...

If you’ve ever stepped in and paid for a stranger’s groceries/food items, I just want you to know the deep gratitude that person felt for your generosity. I was on the receiving end of a beautiful stranger’s kindness today, after becoming a blubbering mess due to the trifecta of less than ideal results from the specialist, a hangy kid and a lower than ideal bank...

When I was a little boy growing up my Mom, Dad, brothers and I lived in my Nana’s old house. It was surrounded by four huge vegetable gardens. And around the house were planted so many flowers. It was so beautiful there in the Spring and Summer. That wasn’t all, though. On the back porch Nana had dozens of potted plants hanging on hooks. She watered them, talked to them and nurtured them. And in...

After losing my two 12 year old puppies Harry Houdini and Buster within 3 weeks of each other I was talking with a customer at my cafe Red Rascals I told her I was closing the cafe in a couple of weeks as I’m very tired working 55-70 hours a week. She asked me what I was going to do. I responded with the first thing I will do is go and sit on a beach by myself and fish for a week or...

I'm at a music festival with a group of people with disabilities and in our search for shade we ended up behind the main stage. Good sound but lacking view. A lovely festival goer saw us and took it upon themselves to set us up with a new spot with a view of the stage. They got security to save a shady spot for us and help move everything. There are some wonderful people in the...

Thank you to the lovely Dad who was dining with his daughter at Papa Gino Lygon St Carlton today and paid for my teenage daughter and her friends lunch. They were both so surprised and appreciative of this kind gesture. It made their day and made them think about paying it forward to others when they can. Thank...

It has been another long, rough winter here in the mountains of my home. High winds, heavy snows, arctic cold, and drenching rains have all hit us, taking their toll on people, power lines, and even the trees around here. And today as I looked at the broken branches littering my daughter’s yard it brought back memories from another rough winter several years ago. A foot of snow had fallen and...
Just Wanted To Share Something That Humbled Me

Just wanted to share something that humbled me last Friday afternoon. I was at a restaurant eating with my family. As we finished up, a homeless man entered with a trolley full of his belongings, clearly very hot from walking outside and clearly hungry and thirsty. We got up to leave and he walked past us and sat at the table we’d just left and started eating some leftover...

Lucky enough to be on a mini holiday break and whilst shopping earlier today, we came across two Japanese tourists trying to make a purchase. Neither of their cards would work and, because of language difficulties, both tourists and the lovely woman serving them were unable to complete the sale. It wasn't a really large amount so I, politely, leaned across, tapped my card and the sale...

I work for an organisation that provides Emergency Relief for people who are experiencing a crisis. This evening I was shopping to replenish our pantry and, as my trolley was very full, I let a couple of people with few items go ahead of me while I was loading the conveyor. One lady with a sweet little boy thanked me and asked if I was buying for a church food kitchen, I explained the groceries were for a...

Midway through mowing our lawns, hubby's lawn mower failed. He messaged a neighbour to ask to borrow their mower. They wheeled it in straight away. Before he could use it, he got a call from a very distressed friend. She had managed to get her car bogged and blow a tyre on a remote, unmade road. She needed a tow. (We have a 4WD truck) After promising to help we realised we don't...

I live in a relatively small neighbourhood. On my drive out, I saw some children happily waving signs for cars to beep at them. Of course I was happy to oblige. 40 minutes later on my way back, they were still there, gleefully with their signs. Again, I beeped and watched them jump and yell with excitement. I honestly don't know who this interaction...

Today I was in Melbourne CBD and noticed a woman of a certain age dressed beautifully. Her hair was done, she had a gorgeous outfit on and strappy sandals. She looked stunning. I walked up behind her as she was about to cross at the lights and said to her, "Can I just tell you something? You look absolutely stunning." She turned and looked at me and said, "You have made my...

I was having a bout of not being able to stop coughing in a restaurant. It happens a lot randomly because I have a chronically dry mouth and a dry throat. I was being stared at but no one would do anything. A lady who was a complete stranger got up came up to me and asked if she could help. I said yes with a nod because I was desperate. Well, she started gently...

When I was a child, I watched my uncle spiral into crazy drug addiction. To see the affect that had on my family (parents/grandparents) was horrible. A good man, taken by addiction, with no return. I have no idea where he is now, or what he is doing, but this was the catalyst for me to never touch drugs. And I still never have. But, 12 months ago, it was like I had an epiphany. I was a...

It was raining in Southern California last week. A bit slippery out , the rain was subsiding while I was driving my 3 kiddos to check out the beach. We saw an African American man who had slipped and fallen with his walker on the ramp to the sidewalk. Right away I saw a dominos delivery lady who was Hispanic pull over to the side of the road and immediately come to the aid of this...
