My religion is kindness."

Kindness is Contagious!!!

Random Acts of Kindness - what a remarkable phrase!  I remember the first time I heard it.  It reached deep down inside of me and resonated within my soul.  I suspected that it would have a similar affect on many others.  It has.  It's a grassroots movement that's been celebrated world wide for 5 years now.  Oprah Winfrey and Leeza Gibbons have featured the movement on their shows.  I wanted to get involved.

You see, we affect one another, you and I.  I realized that I have been uplifted and encouraged because from time-to-time people have done me small favors or kindnesses that helped to wash away the many unkind things that I have seen done.  It helped contribute to a personal philosophy of positivism and a commitment to doing good deeds.

If you are inspired by this simple little phrase and would like to participate, you don't have to contribute any money, join any organization, or go to any meetings.  All that is required is that you be attuned to the world around you, and that when you see someone in need, you take action.  I personally use the phrase "be of service".  What can I do to contribute?

The Tampa Bay Computer Society participated in Random Acts of Kindness week in 2000 through 2006.  People brought in their computers and we fixed most of them or at least pointed them in the right direction to get them fixed.  These clinics have been so rewarding for all that are involved that we continue to sponsor more of them.

To promote and publicize in any way possible, the extraordinary power and importance of simple human kindness.
