1. Near my neighborhood is a corner, near a gas station, where day laborers gather to get work. People drive by and sometimes stop hire them to do physical labor, and pay them in cash. Occasionally, on the same corner are so-called homeless people, begging for money. The other day at the gas station, I got out of my car, went up to one of the day laborers and told me that I admire him for looking for work, and I gave him $10.
3. A friend admired a ring I was wearing and I took it off and gave it to her.
4. I offered a scholarship to one of my workshops, to someone I know would appreciate it, but could not probably afford it.

5. I left a comment on a blog, telling the writer how much I enjoy their posts
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile,
a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring,
all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

and kindnesses to me:
1. A student brought me flowers and told me how much she enjoyed my class. (thanks Janel!)
2. A teenage girl (who I did not know) told me how much she liked the blue in my hair, and how good it looked on me.
3. A fifth grade boy, in my Mundo Lindo after school art classes said "my mom made me come to these classes because I was bored and I thought they'd be boring, but they are fun."
4. Always and everyday, the way my husband treats me.
