Quotes
Here’s a life changing action
Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.
~Og Mandino
This is an image of Kwan Yin. She is one of the most universally beloved of deities in the Buddhist tradition. She is the embodiment of compassionate loving kindness. As the Bodhisattva of Compassion, She hears the cries of all beings.
You can read a lovely story about her at Urban Dharma
Merry Christmas
Aren’t we forgetting the true meaning of Christmas?
You know…
the birth of Santa.
~ Bart Simpson
Here are some easy ideas.
My Religion is simple. My religion is kindness
~The Dalai Lama
I found a list of ideas for our Kindness Project:
- Collect canned goods for a local food bank.
- Help serve dinner at a local homeless shelter.
- Donate time at a senior citizen home.
- Donate books to the library.
- Spend an afternoon with a homebound person. Take the time to talk with them; see if they need any help with chores or running errands.
- Bake a treat and deliver it to a police or fire station.
- Offer to baby-sit for a single parent.

Random Acts of Kindness
“Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person.”
– Mother Theresa
Welcome to the Random Acts of Kindness segment of the prosperity project. Our commitment between now and the first of the year will be to consciously practice Random Acts of Kindness.
Because we are not doing this project for personal gain, we will not be listing our goals in terms of money or prosperity. Instead, let’s list our personal goals in terms of how many acts of kindness we would like to do between now and Jan 1st, or what it is we would like to achieve by doing kind things for others.
Stop by as often as is comfortable, and post your experiences, your thoughts, ideas, whatever you would like to share with us about this project. This group is as much about the discussion as it is about the projects.
I know we are all busy with the holidays. But let’s take just a little time to reflect and share. I will be posting inspirational quotes and nice pictures, along with links to sites I find interesting, and ideas that I pick up along the way.
Blessings – and Welcome All!
Wind Fall
Now this is my idea of “fall”. I love this image, it makes for a great visualization doesn’t it?
We will be finishing up in a few days, and it’s time to begin to think about what we have gained, what we have learned, the surprises, the happy accidents, the disappointments, the journey.
“Too much a good thing can be wonderful.”
-Mae West
A Good Start
Hi guys. I am not quite sure what to post for today, since the process is pretty simple. It looks like we are off to a good start. We have 5 participants in the project so far. No big news of success yet, no big news of financial disaster, so nothing big to report.
Daniel had an “interesting” prayer experience this morning, he posted it on the day one post. I am curious to see how today goes for everyone else.
I took a look at Saskia’s blog http://mylifesucksmore.blogspot.com. It is hilarious, if you are feeling sorry for yourself, (and even if you are not) go check it out.
Here is a quote for today:
Whenever cannibals are on the brink of starvation, Heaven, in its infinite mercy, sends them a nice plump missionary.
-Oscar Wilde
