Random Act of Kindness Day
5/13/05 A yellow or red rose was given to each woman who attended the women's birthday club dinner in Flagstaff, AZ.
5/16/05 This week I'll be donating 20 hours to organizing a
Volunteer Appreciation Day for the volunteers of the American Cancer Society.
It is a small way I can help to show appreciation to those people who give of
their hearts to help people suffering or in need. This is a humbling exercise as
it puts me in the position of those I'm attempting to honor. Taking a moment to
truly be still and recognize the power of kindness makes living in such a crazy
world all that much easier. Certainly Ragan's spirit will forever live with
each act of kindness and the hope that accompanies it. Thank you for allowing
me to be a part of this and reminding me to be still. Shayna J. Diamond,
MA, ACS Patient Navigator, Phx, AZ.
5/19/05 Some close friends here are involved in their only
son's wedding this week-end. Our new church requires a trained "Kitchen person"
to be present when the facilities are to be used for such occasions, and I
agreed to help them in that way. They are supposed to give their kitchen helper
a fee, but I am going to waive that money in Ragan's honor. MO
