July 19, 2012 a project of ServiceSpace Giving of any kind... taking an action... begins the process of change, and moves us to remember that we are part of a much greater universe. - Mbali Creazzo - Not Your Usual Panhandler Doug Eaton wanted to celebrate his birthday on June 11 in a big way, so he turned to his friends for ideas. "I asked a bunch of my friends on Facebook what should I do on my 65th and I got a whole long list of stuff," he shared, "And one of my friends said, 'Why don't you do 65 random acts of kindness?'" So that's exactly what he did, spending 65 minutes standing on the corner of NW 39th Street and May Avenue in Oklahoma City. From a distance, Eaton looked a bit like any other panhandler holding a sign at a street corner. But instead of a plea for money, his sign read: "I have a home...and a car...and a job. Do you need a few bucks for some coffee?" { read more } Be The Change On your next birthday (or the birthday of someone close to you) honor the occasion by doing a random act of kindness.

July 18, 2012 a project of ServiceSpace To live in the hearts we leave behind is not to die. - Thomas Campbell - A Sister's Deathless Legacy of Love "After living through an experimental cancer treatment my sister Barb was left unable to work. When she was offered the opportunity to do a mission trip in India if she could come up with $3,000 - she was left thinking there was no way she could go. No way to raise the funds. She asked me to brainstorm with her as to how she could raise money. "The only thing I can do is hug," she told me - and thus her adventure began." In this powerful piece, a DailyGood reader shares a very personal story about two special cards and the ripples of love one woman would spread across the world -- and beyond the grave. { read more } Be The Change Hug someone in honor of Barb today.
