Blogging about Random Acts of Kindness

For the next few weeks I will be traveling to West Texas to work on a project. I like traveling as I get to meet new people, hear new stories, and see many new things.

A few days ago a friend and I talked about what I could do while I was on the road to document my trip. Given that it is the Christmas/Thanksgiving season, we thought it might me intersting and appropriate to stop and ask people that cross my path about their definition of "Random Acts of Kindness." This was a particularly interesting topic to me as so many people have been so kind to me.

There are two primary questions I am interested in. One, what is your definition of a random act of kindness, and two, what is the last act of a random act of kindness you saw?

If you would like to contribute to this effort by making your own video that you can share with others, you can do so on the random acts of kindness Facebook Fan page.

I would like to say thank you to a few people that have helped me get this effort started. To Dow, thank you for answering a random request on Facebook to borrow a video camera. This was the first "Random Act of Kindness." To Mike, thank you for brainstorming this idea and being a part of it.

Peace everyone and enjoy the videos!
