Random Acts of Kindness ~
Today is Random Act of Kindness Day. It is not an official holiday, simply a holiday evolving out of a modern world that sometimes seems to offer little kindness.
A tiny book by the editors of Conari Press offers some 150 pages of things that we can do for no reason at all, other than an act of kindness.
"Is not one of the great gifts of any act of kindness that it 'brings us back,' that it makes us feel that we have somehow returned to a place, to a feeling, that is somehow permanent, deeply rooted, and unchanging. . . Kindness is at the heart of our belief that people are basically good."
Perhaps today, one small act of kindness can make a difference in someones' day!
~ Random Acts of Kindness, Conari Press, 1999.

Our Weekly Newspaper ~
We have to take a minute here to recognize The Sachem & Gazette. As soon as we were settled in our new location, reporter, Natalie Clewley, arrived on cue to do a story on The Neat Little Bookshop.
It is unsolicited participation and support like this that small businesses appreciate. The staff at this weekly newspaper is always visible at community events. The ad rep, Jimmie Ann Cutler, drops in periodically not to hard-sell but to show us photos of her granddaughter.
Thank you to Associate Publisher & General Manager, Neil Dring, for his incredibly viable newspaper in a time when newspapers are struggling to find their place in a digital world.
You can pick up a hard copy or you can access The Sachem on-line http://www.sachem.ca/ Click on "Read All News" and scroll down to read Natalie's article about The Neat Little Bookshop.
