KINDNESS IS CONTAGIOUS Kindness comes at just the right time
I love stories of serendipitous kindness. Those times when someone calls just when you need to talk, a friend delivers a book that contains the exact words you need to hear, or a stranger delivers a ...

Kindness is Contagious: Strangers’ kindness aids drive 
When my husband and I first got together, we were living seven hours apart. Each weekend, one of us would make the commute from Milwaukee to Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.

Kindness is Contagious: Miracle in shape of a doughnut
I’d like to explain how Saturday mornings work in the Phillips household.
At about 6 a.m., my almost 3-year-old son, Ben, wakes up, sneaks out of bed and goes to find the dog in her kennel. The dog then wakes up, sees my 8-year-old daughter sleeping and proceeds to jump all over her bed. My daughter, being awakened quite obnoxiously, begins to scream.

Kindness is Contagious: Finding the angels among us
Do you believe in angels? My husband and I go around and around on whether ghosts exist, but he won’t even touch the angel issue. I do believe in angels, so I think my practical husband is a little worried that if he comes out as a non-believer, they may stop watching over him.

Kindness is Contagious: Doing one thing at a time
How are those New Year’s Resolutions coming? Every year, I resolve not to make a resolution. I find the New Year is a good time to sit back and give myself credit for the things I’m doing right instead of trying to fix all of my “problem areas.”

Kindness is Contagious: Learn to accept acts of kindness
I have a friend who is a giver. She gives her time, talent, money and all her other resources to anyone and everyone who is lucky enough to cross her path. But she is terrible at receiving. She readily admits it makes her very uncomfortable when people try to give her gifts, both in the physical form and in the form of praise.

Kindness is Contagious: Take time to thank those who serve
For the first time in a long time, I was able to spend Thanksgiving with my family in Wisconsin. The North Dakota State University men’s basketball team was playing in Green Bay that weekend, so an assistant coach’s wife and I loaded up all five of our kids in the minivan and headed to meet up with our husbands.

Kindness is Contagious: Man’s generosity comes one foot at a time
I think my husband is awfully handsome. He’s got a great smile, gorgeous eyes and the most unbelievable feet you’ve ever seen on a man.
Yep, I said it – feet.

Kindness is Contagious: Little idea grows into something big
Have you ever had a really good idea? I’m talking about one of those ideas that you know could change the way people do business, reform the political process or create world peace?
Or maybe it was just a simple idea that could right a wrong.
Deanna Micheli had one of those ideas.

Kindness is Contagious: A great-grandmother's tradition
Let the madness begin. Stuffed bellies, ringing bells, gifts to buy, cards to address, long lines, short tempers: Welcome to Thanksgiving Weekend.
Even though many of us will spend this weekend with the people we love the most, it’s often as much a time of stress as it is a time of celebration.

Kindness is Contagious: Reflecting on all the ways we can help
I’ve been thinking it’s about time to retire this kindness column. I’ve been feeling busy lately. Really busy.
Diva Connection is taking off (thank you, God), and that means more meetings, more trouble shooting, and more time making sure women in our community who need something connect with the women who can help them.

Kindness is Contagious: Election’s end brings respite from ugliness
For the past two months, I’ve been walking around like one of those “See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil” monkeys. I’ve been closing my eyes, covering my ears and zipping my mouth. Why? Politics.

Kindness is Contagious: Day Makers sharing kindness
There is a woman I run into on a regular basis who drives me crazy. She is always happy. I mean always.
She teaches a Zumba exercise class, so for a while I thought maybe she was happy all the time because of all of the endorphins she has streaming through her body.

Kindness is Contagious: Sharing prayer is a simple gift with great impact
It’s one thing to help someone who has fallen on hard times without having done anything wrong. But it’s completely foreign to me how someone could step out of his or her comfort zone to help people who have brought the hard luck on themselves.

Kindness is Contagious: Replacing hurt with a healthy dose of hope
My friend, Kristi, said something the other day that made my heart stop for a moment.
But let me back up. She is a one-woman parade: marching band, confetti, the whole works. She walks into the room and brings sunshine and gale-force winds. She has more energy than anyone I have ever met. Anyone. Ever.

One girl’s work resonates long after she’s gone
I want to follow up on the column I wrote last week about volunteering with your kids. The day after it appeared in the paper, I got an email from a woman named Karen in Sykeston, N.D. I think she illustrates better than I ever could just how much of a difference one person can make in the lives of others.
