Today's story comes from Shanon. About a month ago, she stumbled upon something pretty darn nice.
I was walking across campus yesterday and saw a bus with the words 'Spread kindness to everyone every chance you get' on the sides. I had to stop.
I met Bob and Bogart (a happy Boston terrier) and they are traveling across the country spreading the word on the Kindness Bus Tour.
I'm not sure if you've heard of the them, but they are encouraging everyone to perform One Million Acts of Kindness in their lifetime!
That's 50 acts of kindness a day, for 55 years. Talk about commitment!
Their website says: "Can you imagine a greater goal for one’s life? It is a constant mind-set of kindness every day of your life for the next fifty-five years. Doing for others and kindness in your heart for everyone. It is my wish that you will dedicate your life to a charity… finding the passion in your heart for something or someone in need."
I love that they are getting the word out there, one bus stop at a time.

Bob and Bogart are my heroes! I'd love to travel the country spreading kindness! I'm starting to think that maybe my little Toyota Matrix needs a new paint job. :)

Hi, I'm Melissa! Welcome to my blog! I believe that kindness can change the world, so it's my mission to spread the concept of being nice, as simple as that may sound. I hope you'll have a look around!
Do you have a NICE story you'd like to share? Maybe one you've stumbled upon or something that has affected you personally? If so,

Oh my goodness! I LOVE hearing things like this! I feel better and better as I am reminded that you ...and apparently many others...are taking kindness to heart and making it part of daily living. It is a fresh breath in the midst of not-so-nice mundane messes. THANK YOU!
Mel,
I just read about this guy today and immediately thought I better see if you know about him and lo' and behold, your top post is all about him.
Way cool!
People like this inspire the rest of us. It's like free hugs over here in the UK. It just takes one person and the idea spreads. It's lovely. We need to see more of this in the world! Keep up the good work.
