A WEEK IN REVIEW
This week we have had a great time volunteering and getting to know the children of INTI.  We have taken part in a variety of fun activities with the children.
We have helped the children with photography (as another volunteer was able to get digital cameras donated to the organization).  They absolutely love to take pictures [...]
VIDEOS OF GOODNESS WEEK – FAMOUS FAILURES
Today’s motto is,to quote my favorite song from Journey,… DON’T  STOP BELIEVIN’!
Here are three videos that illustrate that some of the greatest and most talented people in their respective fields, failed many times before succeeding.  As we heard Randy Pausch saying in Monday’s video “The brick walls are not there [...]
VIDEOS OF GOODNESS WEEK: PLAYING FOR CHANGE
Many of you have probably seen at least one (if not a few) video(s) from Playing For Change.  I happen to love their videos, their music and their message so much, I had to include them as part of 365’s Videos of Goodness Week!
Playing for Change is a multimedia movement created to inspire, connect, and [...]
VIDEOS OF GOODNESS: LIFE AND MUSIC
So today’s video of goodness comes from Trey Parker and Matt Stone?  Who would’ve thunk that I would post a video on this site from creators of South Park?  But this video, which is animated to a recording of Alan Watts (a British philosopher who wrote about things like the true nature of reality, higher [...]
VIDEOS OF GOODNESS WEEK: CHILDREN SEE. CHILDREN DO.
Today’s Video of Goodness shows us that we are all examples to those around us.  Whether we like it or not, our actions will be repeated by others; most specifically our children.  Whether we have children or not, it’s important to realize the influence that each one of us have on others and future generations.

This [...]
VIDEOS OF GOODNESS WEEK: THE LAST LECTURE
So this is quite a crazy week for me.  I’m working long hours everyday and packing for our big venture (We leave a week from today!!) With all of that going on I’ve decided to focus this week on sharing some wonderful goodness others have created online.  Some of these videos you may have seen [...]
WHICH WAY HOME
Today’s spotlight charity comes out of a very moving documentary I saw on HBO entitled “Which Way Home.”
Which Way Home shows the personal side of immigration through the eyes of children who face harrowing dangers with enormous courage and resourcefulness as they endeavor to make it to the United States. [...]
FEED 100
I am so excited about sharing today’s goodness!  I was at my favorite store (none other than… Whole Foods!) where I saw that they were spotlighting their FEED 100 bags.  I had noticed these bags before but never paid much attention to them until I saw them featured throughout the store today.  I asked one [...]
RECOMMENDATION WEDNESDAYS – SOUL SERIES
So as you all know, I’m a big fan of Oprah.  Her ability to  teach, share and spread goodness is truly inspiring.  I’m sure many, if not all of you, watch her show and read her magazine, but my guess is that some of you may not be as tuned into her Soul Series podcasts. [...]
INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE
Today is The United Nations’ International Day of Peace.  For the last 27 years, on September 21st, this global holiday is celebrated  when individuals, communities, nations and governments highlight efforts to end conflict and promote peace.
Established by a U.N. resolution in 1982, “Peace Day” has grown to include millions of people around the world who [...]
CHANGE FOR CHANGE
Now who was the one who said that you can’t make a difference at 10:00pm on a Monday night at a CVS Pharmacy?!  I beg to differ!  See video below!

THE NO H8 CAMPAIGN!
In honor of Michael Jackson’s memorial today, and in honor of the love that he shared with us all, I feel very strongly about this project that I was a part of.  Michael Jackson may have been misunderstood in many ways, but I think most of us will agree that in his heart of hearts [...]
LET THE MUSIC PLAY!
I have been attending the same exercise class a couple times a week  for over a year now, so I have gotten to know some of the other women by briefly chatting with them when we’re in class.  I’m sure you all have those “circumstantial” friends, where although you are “friends” where you see each [...]
A “LUCKY DAY” AT THE RECYCLING CENTER
So although I had 13 bags of recyclables to bring to the recycling center today, I am proud to say that next to none of it was mine!  But the recycling “programs” that I have started at our building and at Matt’s work are bringing in lots of recycling goodness.  I have personally sworn off [...]
HAPPY DAY FLOWERS!
Finally, finally, finally another good deed video blog… hooray! Check it out below… I think it speaks for itself! Enjoy!
WILL YOU MARRY ME?!
I experienced something that I have never experienced before when I was working at the restaurant a few days ago.  I witnessed a marriage proposal happening right in the first booth!  The groom to be called the restaurant ahead of time and asked if we could put the phrase “Will You Marry Me?!” in one [...]
