a kindness movement

You see the darndest things on the streets of New York, and almost every day you’ll witness something special. When we came upon the One Million Acts of Kindness bus on CPW near the Museum of Natural History, we met Bob. Parked outside with his crazy-looking bus, spreading kindness on the streets of Manhattan — not to mention the thousands of miles he’s logged on his bike bringing a message of hope and love to the streets while celebrating police, firefighter and military heroes.

“Imagine… if we simply hoped for the best toward every person we come in contact with during the day. If each one of us, day by day, shared acts of kindness with those we know and those we don’t know…how would the world change? How would YOU change? How far would our kindness spread?”

not the country (but just as great)

If you haven’t seen Humans of New York, stop working or whatever you’re doing right now and have a look. This blog on tumblr was started by Brandon Stanton in 2010 with the idea of creating a photographic census of New York City, “one street portrait at a time.” Humans of New York (or HONY, as insiders like to say) gives folks around the world glimpses into the inhabitants, spirit and daily life of one of the world’s greatest cities. Thanks to Nasreen, our 14-year-old niece (and tumblr blogger) for sharing this with us….so happy to be sharing NYC with you this week!

where good moods abound

Spent a couple of days at Serenbe last week for a meeting. Truth be told, I arrived there feeling cranky and on edge. But left feeling happy, peaceful and energized, having spent time with some special folks and kindred spirits. Thanks to the Serenbe family for their lovely hospitality and inspiration. (And to the wonderful Garnie Nygren, who shared with us ‘Last Child in the Woods‘ — thank you!)

Put Serenbe on your “must visit” list soon.

tag, you’re ‘it’

 

Had some good eatin’ in Denver recently and TAG restaurant was our favorite. Specializing in Continental Social Food, this great little dining hotspot is in the heart of downtown on Larimer. Plan to dine there if you’re heading out to the Mile High City soon.

Still thinking about Chef Guard’s taco sushi. So yum.
