Dan's Coffee Run

From KarmaTube - Every Thursday morning, Dan Dewey orders 12 to 24 coffee items from the Starbucks in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. He then delivers the coffee to patients and staff at the Michigan Cancer Institute (MCI). The tradition started when he took his own father to MCI for treatment. His father has since passed away, but Dan keeps the coffee, and the smiles, flowing.

"I Am" - Video Social Experiment

Poetry. Randomness. Makes me miss Chicago. Beautiful people inside and out.

Here is the background:

I Am is not only a film but a social experiment that took strangers in Philadelphia and asked them to finish this sentence. "I am ___."

It's Not All Bad - 100 Things That Are Getting Better

I came across this list at CNN.com and aside from strange listings (#2-shapewear?), it's a nice read for you pessimists:

Random yes, but personally I do hope those crazy fees from the big banks go away (#10) and I somehow make it to the moon before I leave this earth for good (#3).

Duo's Secret Acts of Kindness for a Month

This story is so inspiring and what I love about it is that it's simple, yet profoundly moving. I am vowing to try and do some "secret" acts of kindness very soon. With just a little money and some covert ingenuity, you can make someone's day.

Dubbed the "Helping Hands Project," a dynamic duo (Karla & Amy) from the organization Hope Heals performed secret acts of kindness for the entire month of March in their community. It included such things as leaving umbrellas on a rainy day (with a note), care packages for the homeless, notes of encouragement on random cars, buying meals for people in the car behind them, paying for strangers' gas, and much more. Read the month-long recap at their blog here.
