What an amazing journey I have been on for the last six months. It will take me some time to document it all, talk about adversity I faced, along with amazing triumphs I was able to experience, and discuss the valued lessons I have learned to prepare me for my next mountain that I choose to climb. This will take some time to do, but I look forward to telling my story and sharing the full report in the future. It’s been 4 days since the Mrs. Idaho pageant and I am feeling like I am finally getting back into the swing of catching up where Kindness Week left off. I have a few Kindness assemblies to plan for schools, Kindness T-shirt orders to fill and distribute, Kindness Day Annual Planning Calendar to finalize, the ISU Homecoming Parade float put together and plan, and so much more. So, once life seems to settle a bit more, I will be able to tell my story and talk about the pageant as well and my entire experience.
COMING SOON!
This was an interview question asked of me in my interview by one of the judges at the pageant,
“What do you think Success is?”
I can’t express how amazing it is to see Yellow Kindness T-shirts every where I go around town. Their on children and adults. It’s an amazing sight to see. I have had a chance to experience student receiving their Kindness T-shirts at school and the excitement it creates. I also had to the chance to experience two entire elementary schools all in Kindness T-shirts last Friday. Their principal wanted to get an entire school picture to hang up in their school. I thought that was amazing idea!! But, as I got to witness the behaviors of the students, I noticed how that all had instant smiles on their faces, I could tell it made them feel happier and in turn, it made me feel happy. That’s what Kindness does. Kindness is also contagious, so I knew that no matter what each school would be influenced by the Kindness that was started.
I received many wonderful comments from parents and I appreciate those comments. I also received “Thank You” notes from students, they were very cute and made me smile. I could tell that the t-shirt made our children feel like they were apart of something bigger then themselves. Going through town and seeing Yellow crossing the streets, Yellow all over the playgrounds, Yellow all over town, it just made me feel that all the efforts of many had paid off. Our children were being influences, their homes were being influenced, and I hope that it will continue.
It was WONDERFUL seeing all of you and your children in Yellow Kindness T-shirts throughout the entire day. Many of your children told me they LOVED the Kindness Video that they saw at school and were so surprised that they got their own Kindness T-shirt. I could feel the excitement in their voices. I hope you all enjoy the locally produced Kindness Video. PLEASE SHARE so our entire community has a chance to see what our local kids have done, you all would be so proud.. They did such an amazing job! Kindness is contagious, so please pass it on..
