<div>Just had to post this: <br/> <br/>Seeking Samaritan <br/> <br/>Benefactor 'changed my life' <br/> <br/>By SARAH KENNEDY, CALGARY SUN <br/> <br/> <br/>Nicole Borriello is looking for the mystery man who rescued her after her tire was repeatedly slashed and then later returned to the scene to replace it. <br/> <br/>For the past week Borriello, 34, has been thinking constantly about the Good Samaritan known only as "Doug" to thank him for helping her "more than he probably knows." <br/> <br/>Borriello, a fitness trainer, said a personal crisis left her in tears as she was driving to work just before 4 p.m. on Aug. 8. <br/> <br/>Her car started thumping as she travelled along Bow Bottom Tr. "I parked at the side of the road and got out and my back tire had about 30 slashes in it and I thought, 'What's next?" she said. <br/> <br/>Not knowing when or where her tire was slashed, Borriello made calls to her mother and friends, but they couldn't help. <br/> <br/>While worrying how she would get to work, a man pulled over and asked if she needed help. <br/> <br/>"I thought to myself, 'In this day and age, do I take the help? Do I go with him?'" she said. <br/> <br/> <br/>Borriello climbed into the man's car and said her father would fix the tire later. <br/> <br/>Doug drove her to work, shook her hand, and wished her luck. <br/> <br/>A few hours later, Borriello's father picked up her keys to go and fix her tire. "That was the night we had the horrible hail storm," she said. <br/> <br/>"He showed back up shortly after with a blank look on his face and said my tires were perfect." <br/> <br/>Borriello's father handed her a soggy note found on her windshield, that said, "May God be a blessing to you. With kind regards, Doug T." <br/> <br/>Borriello said she wants to find Doug and thank him. <br/> <br/>"I want him to know he didn't just change my tire but he changed my life -- he was like an angel who came to me and said everything is going to be alright," she said. <br/> <br/>"I want people to know there are good people in this world." <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://kindnessandbeauty.tribe.net">Random Acts of Kindness...</a> - 2 replies </div>

<div>*copied from an e-mail* <br/> <br/>As you might know, the head of a company survived 9/11 because his son started kindergarten that morning. Another fellow was alive because it was his turn to bring donuts. One woman was late because her alarm clock didn't go off in time. One was late because of being stuck on the NJ Turnpike because of an auto accident. <br/> <br/>One of them missed his bus. <br/> <br/>One spilled food on her clothes and had to take time to change. <br/> <br/>One's car wouldn't start. <br/> <br/>One went back to answer the telephone . <br/> <br/>One had a child that dawdled and didn't get ready as soon as he should have. <br/> <br/>One couldn't get a taxi. <br/> <br/>The one that struck me was the man who put on a new pair of shoes that morning, took the various means to get to work but before he got there, he developed a blister on his foot. He stopped at a drugstore to buy a Band-Aid. That is why he is alive today. <br/> <br/>Now when I am stuck in traffic, miss an elevator, turn back to answer a ringing telephone... all the little things that annoy me ... I think to myself, this is exactly where God wants me to be at this very moment. <br/> <br/>Next time your morning seems to be going wrong, the children are slow getting dressed, you can't seem to find the car keys, you hit every traffic light, don't get mad or frustrated; God is at work watching over you. <br/> <br/>May God continue to bless you with all those annoying little things and may you remember their possible purpose. </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://kindnessandbeauty.tribe.net">Random Acts of Kindness...</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>During the recent power outage here in Humboldt County I ventured out into the wind-blown world to find food and ice for my 'fridge...Safeway was out and had been for some time and most all other grocery stores and gas stations were closed. However, I did stumble upon one 76 Station with and attendant standing outside a dark building and next to an ice box. <br/> <br/>Taking a simple chance that the ice box may not be empty of its contents...I pulled over and asked "Got ice?" then added "For sale?" He said that I may take as much ice as I needed, just come back when the power returns and pay for it then. I thanked the man very much and took only what I needed, thinking that someone else may take more than they need due to fear. I carted the cold bags home and kept the old 'fridge chilled for the next two days saving a lot of foods. <br/> <br/>As promised, I returned to the station after the power was returned (thanks to the many workers that made it possible), to pay my debt. <br/> <br/>The man was not there, another station worker stood behind the counter. After explaining what I wished to pay for the woman's eyes seemed to sparkle. She told me that there were 96 bags of ice taken that day...and almost all of it had been made good on. They could have lost $100 that day, maybe due to the kindness of the man that was there or it may have melted in the box and they were a little surprised that they had recovered so much. <br/> <br/>Don't forget to repay your debts of kindness...whether or not it's in a magical or monetary way... <br/> <br/>I am sure that the next time this gas station has the chance to help out its fellow human bean...it will.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://kindnessandbeauty.tribe.net">Random Acts of Kindness...</a> - 3 replies </div>

<div>This is one of those Senseless Acts of Beauty (and I remind you that beauty is its own discussion). <br/> <br/>Lately, I've taken to really appreciating the old shoes hanging from telephone wires and tree branches. In my neighborhood there are seven or eight pairs of shoes hanging in the low heavens. If this asthetic pleases you as it pleases me, I encourage a mass shoe upheaval. Tie your old shoes together by the laces and give em a whirl. <br/> <br/>Don't throw those loved to death old companions into the trash... give them a proper sky burial :) Distribute evenly through the town, in a specific neighborhood, or on one special tree where they may congregate. I have heard rumor of a large tree near Santa Cruz that is proudly bearing countless of the Retired Ones. <br/> <br/>Truly a senseless act (of beauty)...</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://kindnessandbeauty.tribe.net">Random Acts of Kindness...</a> - 5 replies </div>

They were my mother's from her collection aquired over years of being a school teacher (and being displayed in her classroom).

I want to creatively move many of these objects, to redistribute thier energies into newly living situations.

<div>A friend made for me a beautiful mobile of all natural objects (mainly drift-wood, leaves and seeds... all bound with hemp). When I was moving out of town I wondered what I could do with it. It was too precious to throw away, and too fragile to attempt to pack into a box. So I climbed a tree that grew over a high-traffic walk way and hung it there. Almost two years later it still hangs there, only slightly worn from two years worth of rain. I wonder how many people have seen it there and paused to think. <br/> <br/>When I hung it I was already inspired... now that I have seen it still there, I am going to make more mobiles, and hang them in different trees around town, directly over walk ways, to be seen and provoke thought and perhaps inspiration. A gift to the tree and a gift to humanity. Have fun.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://kindnessandbeauty.tribe.net">Random Acts of Kindness...</a> - 3 replies </div>

<div>this came to me to day and got me gigglin' so hard..... reminded me to be more grateful <br/> <br/>---------- <br/> <br/>When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious <br/>diatribes about how hard things were when they were growing up; what with <br/>walking twenty-five miles to school every morning ... uphill BOTH ways... <br/>through year 'round blizzards. Carrying their younger siblings on their <br/>backs ... to their one-room schoolhouse, where they maintained a <br/>Straight-A average, despite their full- time, after-school job at the <br/>local textile mill.... where they worked for 35 cents an hour just to help <br/>keep their family from starving to death! <br/> <br/>And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way in <br/>hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on kids about how hard I <br/>had it and how easy they've got it! <br/> <br/>But now that... <br/> <br/>I'm over the ripe old age of thirty, I can't help but look around and <br/>notice the youth of today. You've got it so easy! I mean, compared to my <br/>childhood, you live in a damn Utopia! And I hate to say it but you kids <br/>today you don't know how good you've got it! I mean, when I was a kid we <br/>didn't have The Internet. If we wanted to knowsomething, we had to go to <br/>the damn library and look it up ourselves, in the card catalog!! <br/> <br/>There was no email! We had to actually write somebody a letter ...with a <br/>pen! Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in the <br/>mailbox and it would take like a week to get there! <br/> <br/> There were no MP3's or Napsters! You wanted to steal music, you had to <br/>hitchhike to the damn record store and shoplift it yourself! Or you had to <br/>wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ'd usually talk <br/>over the beginning and @#*% it all up! <br/> <br/>We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you were on the phone and <br/>somebody else called they got a busy signal, that's it! And we didn't have <br/>fancy Caller ID Boxes either! When the phone rang, you had no idea who it <br/>was! It could be your school, your mom, your boss, your bookie, your drug <br/>dealer, a collections agent, you just didn't know!!! You had to pick it <br/>up and take your chances, mister! <br/> <br/>We didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation video games with high-resolution <br/>3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games like "Space Invaders" and <br/>"Asteroids" and the graphics sucked ass! Your guy was a little square! You <br/>actually had to use your imagination! And there were no multiple levels or <br/>screens, it was just one screen forever! And you could never win. The game <br/>just kept getting harder and harder and faster and faster until you died! <br/>... Just like LIFE! <br/> <br/>When you went to the movie theater there no such thing as stadium seating! <br/>All the seats were the same height! If a tall guy or some old broad with a <br/>hat sat in front of you and you couldn't see, you were just screwed! <br/> <br/>Sure, we had cable television, but back then that was only like 15 <br/>channels and there was no onscreen menu and no remote control! You had to <br/>use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on! You were <br/>screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to get off your ass and <br/>walk over to the TV to change the channel and there was no Cartoon Network <br/>either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday Morning. Do you hear what <br/>I'm saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK for cartoons, you spoiled little <br/>bastards! <br/> <br/> And we didn't have microwaves, if we wanted to heat something up. we had to <br/>use the stove or go build a frigging fire ... imagine that! If we wanted <br/>popcorn, we had to use that stupid JiffyPop thing and shake it over the <br/>stove forever like an idiot. <br/> <br/>That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it too <br/>easy. You're spoiled. <br/> <br/>You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in 1980!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://kindnessandbeauty.tribe.net">Random Acts of Kindness...</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>Here in Peru... I've taken to packing up the last amount of food and giving it to some child on the street. And you don't need to be in Peru to do this! <br/> <br/> One time at a restaraunt I saw that an older couple paid and walked away, leaving a half a large bowl of soup on the table. I asked for a box and poured the soup into it, walked outside and gave it to a homeless man. I don't understand sometimes the wastefullness of people. Just to remind people and enourage you to not be too prideful to pack up someone elses food and take it with you. People that eat out of garbage cans don't care too much if someone's germs are on their food. <br/> <br/> Similar to the Airline Food Posting... just another angle. <br/> <br/> Have fun everyone!

<div>The U.S. dollar goes so far in Peru... that $0.30 will buy a whole pocket full of candy. Now I realize candy is not the most ideal thing to be giving children, especially where oral hygiene is not the most developed, but man do they smile! One little piece of candy and they light up like God just patted them on the head... (which the analogy is not far from the truth). <br/> <br/>Also, a pair of cheap flip-flops is less than a dollar. So I filled my bag up with five small pairs and made five children's day an amazing one. Next time I come back to town I am going to buy a few more (larger ones for the adolescents). <br/> <br/>As a gringo here, it takes so little to give so much... I just want to remind you all of the abundance we live in, even when at times it seems like we may be lacking... it has probably been awhile for most of us since we went without shoes, or slept on the sidewalk. This isn't a call to instill guilt, but gratitude, and to remind everyone of the deep joy felt by sharing with others when we have an opportunity to do so.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://kindnessandbeauty.tribe.net">Random Acts of Kindness...</a> - 8 replies </div>

<div>For those of us who choose not to eat it... kindly accept with a smile their little bundle of love they give so freely. Hold on to it, and as you are driving away from the airport (in some large city), stop and give it to someone who would really appreciate :). <br/> <br/> Which reminds me... if you have a fruit tree, when it goes off as they do, take some of the excess to the nearest food bank or city and hand it out. My grandmother's apple tree in Marin gave off so many apples it was absurd, so one day when I was already heading into San Francisco, I packed up two grocery bags full and handed them out as I walked through (to everyone, not just those in poverty).</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://kindnessandbeauty.tribe.net">Random Acts of Kindness...</a> - 3 replies </div>

<div>My first year at burning man, I brought a large bag of plant material that I'll refrain from specifying... I put a little pinch of it into little fabricated pouches, and tied it shut with string. Each then had a neon yellow flagging tape tied to it that read "I was not lost, but now I'm found" Then I had my fun anonymously distributing them into people's shoes, bike baskets, onto the benches in center-camp, tied to poles, and so on. Anyone else have good B-Man stories on this topic?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://kindnessandbeauty.tribe.net">Random Acts of Kindness...</a> - 6 replies </div>

<div>Hello All! <br/> <br/>My boyfriend will be going to Burning Man, and unfortunately I cannot attend as well. I know that it's hard to prepare for Burning Man so he will need all the help he can get. <br/> <br/>However, I'd like to go a little out of my way to do special little things that will help and make his second burn even more amazing than the first. I don't have a lot of resources, mind, since money's hard to come by. <br/> <br/>Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can do this? </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://kindnessandbeauty.tribe.net">Random Acts of Kindness...</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Johnny Appleseed is my personal hero... and knowing that he planted all those apples so everyone could enjoy more Applejack, not just eat more fruit, makes him all the more my inspiration. <br/> <br/> When you eat fruit (non-GMO please), take the seeds, (sprout them if you have the time and motivation) and toss them onto some public land, the border of someone's property, or the side of the road (ideally ten to fifteen feet back). Does anyone else see a world lined with fruit trees for everyone to pick and enjoy? Even if it won't fruit in your climate, might as well give the species a fighting chance to adapt right? <br/> <br/> Same thing with cuttings that root easily or roots themselves. Broccoli for example will often grow if you just stick the stalk into the ground, and there isn't anything easier in this respect than a potato. <br/> <br/> For the really inspired... peat pots. Need I say more? <br/> <br/> While I was on a farm in Hawaii, there were dozens of volunteer tobacco plants sprouting up (at one point in history tobacco was grown in that spot commercially). I pulled up about twenty of them, put as many as I could in peat pots I had, and planted them all around the area. Each little plant was given specific instructions to flower and go to seed. On the tobacco topic, I also found a plant that had gone to seed growing out of the side of a cliff over the ocean. Tobacco seeds are tiny and abundant. I harvested most of the seed pods (as it was out of the side of a cliff and over the ocean) and have planted them all along the Na Pali coast (on a different Hawaiian island), given them away to lots of people, and have successfully smuggled (hehehehe... although customs didn't care) a whole grip of them into Peru where they now await my help in distribution. <br/> <br/> WARNING: Be mindful of delicate ecosystems and invasive species. Before planting just anything anywhere it is important to understand a little bit of how it will all turn out. One of the ideas here besides promoting abundance is increasing biodiversity. Do some research, use common sense, observe and be patient, ask the plants, etc... There are many things I'd love to see growing everywhere, but they'll just take everything over in a new ecosystem and one wouldn't see much else there in the future. <br/> <br/> HAVE FUN!!! Promote abundance!!! Paint the world with flowers and fruits and sacred plants...</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://kindnessandbeauty.tribe.net">Random Acts of Kindness...</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>Three ideas I've had recently: <br/> 1>collecting lots of old shoes, tying them together and tossing them into one specific tree, or along one street on telephone wires. I know this has been done before... but no reason to not do it again. <br/> 2>taking old CD's stringing them together, and hanging them from telephone wires along uneventful highway stretches. <br/> 3>Turn anything into a planter. In SF I've seen old shoes used, which looked great. I've also seen this long country driveway, lined with ancient cars in which large trees were growing out of their hoods and the torn off tops.

<div>You must look them in the eye and mean it!!! <br/>A thought crossed my mind the other day that simply enabling others to feel good about themselves, would solve a lot of problems. I Work as an RN in a nursing home and I have seen a shift in the way residents and staff get on. There has been a bit of a conscious effort to provide non-patronizing honest encouragements and feed back. I have been telling my aids to “look the resident in the eye when you speak. It encourages a strong interaction. And to say things like I don’t mind helping. But they have to mean it. That is the catch. It world sound a bit naive to think that a person can change the world by simply encouraging self worth, but you must mean what you say for it to work. False compliments don’t work. I make a point to give praise of my aids in public. I reassure folks that we do care and I know I can took them in the eye when I say it.. I hope to share this place of personal integrity, and reinforce with the notion that, choosing to greet the world from a place of trust rather than fear is no small task. But, well worth the effort!!!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://kindnessandbeauty.tribe.net">Random Acts of Kindness...</a> - 2 replies </div>
