EXPERIENCE AND SHARE KINDNESS ALWAYS.
Why kindness?
Kindnessalways.ca wants to spread our message of hope and compassion. We believe that a single action can make a difference, and that collective action can greatly impact the world.
Kindness is a choice, a mindset. You wake up every day with choices. You can choose to have an impact on someone or be kind each and every day.
Wouldn’t it be great to highlight all this kindness? In this world where a lot of negative news and happenings are shared daily, we want to highlight the kindness people do each and every day.
KINDNESS ALWAYS AT A GLANCE
A Bit of Background
Well, it all began with a meaningful interaction with a lady named Pat. The founder of kindnessalways.ca, Su Bodner, was a regular commuter traveler to San Antonio from Canada. One day, making the token trip to the ladies room before boarding a flight, Su meets Pat. Pat is a cleaning person at the San Antonio airport and just happens to be in the ladies washroom when she meets Su. Pat greets every single lady walking into the washroom and helps them find a free stall. While in the washroom, Su overhears her wishing everyone a great day as well.
So let’s just recap this:
1. Pat works as a cleaning person.
2. She is cleaning a washroom at the airport, probably the least glamourous job on the planet.
3. She chooses to be impactful, kind and positive.
When Su went to wash her hands, she asked Pat her name and if she could take her picture.
Su proceeded to post about her experience with Pat on a couple social media sites; LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram.
Well, 34,000 views later, something special was needed for Pat. Fast-forward and based on some folks Su knew, Pat ended up with $1000 from Fox News San Antonio, recognition from her employer, DFS, and also some special treatment from the San Antonio airport staff.
It just goes to show that by making an impact on someone, or being kind that you can never really know the impact it might have on a complete stranger.
What are you doing to be kind today?
