Acts of Kindness


Kmart cashier's act of kindness
Linley, a nurse from Sydney was at the checkout in Kmart when she realised she had left her wallet in the car. The retail assistant tried to show her how to use Afterpay but after having difficulty processing her order, she decided to leave and come back with her wallet later that afternoon. When Linley returned, she was surprised to find that the cashier had paid for the items. A note left by the cashier read, "Please accept this as a blessing from me to you and your family. Linley was left in tears and felt blessed to have been on the receiving end of such generosity. 


Deli worker goes the extra mile
Casey works at the deli in Woolworths and started learning Australian sign language so she could communicate with a local couple who are deaf and regular customers at the store in Maryborough. Casey used her spare time to learn basic greetings and different weight volume measures from YouTube videos. She said the first time she conversed with a deaf customer in sign language was a special experience and the woman's eyes lit up. 


Strangers made a dying woman's dream come true
Phyllis, an 82-year-old from Victoria was known for her love of Disney's famous deer Bambi. She had a large collection of Bambi merchandise and her daughter Lia wanted to make one last memory for her mother, who didn't have much longer. She took to Facebook with an unusual request, asking if anyone nearby had a deer that could visit a dyiing old lady and maker happy. Lisa's post went viral and within hours, she received a message from Simone and Chris from a mobile farm located two and a half hours away. They offered to bring one of their deers over and the very next day, Simone, Chris and their deer which was actually named Bambi arrived. Chris placed Bambi on the bed and Phyllis leant over and begaan patting it. Simone, Chris, Bambi and the family stayed with Phyllis for hours and when Chris and Simone were leaving. Lisa tried to pay them but they refused, saying it was something they just needed to do.

Virtual Stop #1: Lymington - A Seaside Gem Discovered by Chance

Welcome to my virtual travel series, where I explore beautiful corners of the world without leaving my bed. Inspired by TikTok livestreamers and walking tour videos, these posts capture what I see, feel and learn as I journey through new places from afar.  I wasn't planning to visit Lymington - not virtually, not in any way. I had never heard of it before watching my favorite singing buskers livestream from the quaint little town in the UK and now I'm captivated. The charm of Lymington unfolded before my eyes: Cobbled pathways, rows of boats bobbing gently at the marina and friendly locals to stop and enjoy the music. I experienced it from my bed.  There is something so welcoming about the town, The people passing by weren't just polite - they were supportive. Some clapped, others left kind words or a few coins, and a few even stayed for songs. There are three ladies who go often to support the guys. They have all been following them on TikTok for a while and met each other...

The Prove It Game

The public opinions on Meghan Markle, or Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, are divided. Some love her and most seem to hate her. I admire her in some ways. I just watched an interview she did with podcast host Jamie Kern Lima and something she said resonated with me.  Image from Jamie Kern Lima YouTube.  Here it is: "We spend so much of our lives trying to prove something. You have to prove that you're enough, you have to prove that you're pretty enough, you have to prove that you're smart enough, you have to prove that you're a good wife or a good friend, and I am just so done with the prove it game. When you get to the place where you feel like I don't have to prove anything to you anymore. I don't have to prove that I'm a good person, I don't have to prove that I'm a good wife or mum or friend, I don't have to prove that I work hard. It can be really freeing when you stop playing the prove it game." - Meghan Markle. I completely agree with...

Social Media Ban

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said that the Australian Government will enact laws to ban children under 16 years of age from social media and here I am sharing my thoughts on this.  Image from The Chapel Hairdressers - Horsham Facebook page  There are many benefits of social media. We can share photos and videos with our families and friends to keep them updated on our lives, instantly communicate with them, have a record of special memories, businesses can promote their products and services, connect with people professionally and do so much more. So many people are working on social media full time as influencers, working with brands and creating content online  and some have even married people they met online.  Social media can also be used as a weapon.   Preteens and teenagers go through puberty, stress about getting good grades at school, do their best to live up to their parents expectations, have many things they are worried about and just wan...
