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.

Welcome back Justice Crew!

                                           Photo credit to @Justicecrewofficial Instagram Justice Crew are a dance and music group who won Australia's Got Talent in 2010 and went on to release many amazing songs including number one hits Boom Boom and Que Sera . After their tour in 2019, they took a long break and now they are back!  I have been a huge fan of them since the beginning and have been to a lot of their shows, so when they announced they were performing a show in February, of course I was excited and attended with my friend. There was a huge crowd there to see them, which surprised a few people, including maybe the guys themselves. After six years, they probably felt rusty, but they were actually amazing as always. It was so cool to see them on stage again and here all the hit songs the number ones and  Everybody. It's so crazy how even now, after six year...

Light in the Darkness

  We all carry a little darkness. Moments we don’t speak of. Storms We face. Shadows we walk through quietly.   But that doesn’t mean our light is gone.   Even on heavy days, when it feels like someone has punched us in the chest, or everything feels hopeless. We work. We care. We laugh. We create. We shine, like the brightest star in the sky.   No matter what happens today – even if it’s messy, or lonely, or full of tears - The sun will rise in the morning. Like it always does. Like we always do.   Because light doesn’t have to shout. Sometimes it just keeps showing up, quietly. One bright beam at a time.

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...
