Nov. 1 - Priceless Purses

Day 304 of a year of kindness

Today, my friend Melissa Hubbard Steadman invited me to a tea party fundraiser. I love a good tea party, and this one supported educational scholarships for women. So, it was an easy yes.I offered to repay her for the ticket, but she wouldn’t let me. So instead, I asked her if I could buy her some raffle tickets. Later, I almost jumped out of my seat when her number was called and she won a beautiful, red purse! Sometimes, kindness really does come full circle and it’s a delight to see it happen in real time.

Science of Kindness: Science reveals that attending a fundraiser is kindness with impact. You choose to be part of something bigger, to uplift others and care about a cause. Engaging in community events reduces stress, lowers anxiety, and improves mood. #BeKind #KindnessCounts #KindnessCounts2025 #kindness #kindnesseffect
