SOME MORE SPECIFIC IDEAS:

• Ordinary acts of kindness my Dad would do such as:

  • Be patient with others,  turn the other cheek (especially when you don’t want to!), go out of your way to do the right thing, so many other basic acts of kindness we are often 'too busy' to do today …

• Keep gift cards in your wallet to give out to the homeless or needy when you encounter them unexpectedly

• Get involved –become a role model for others! Volunteer or donate to your local church, town, or schools 

• Adopt a favorite charity,  foundation or church to support!   Some of my favorites:

  • Several Sources Shelters, www.severalsources.org

  • The Loukoumi Foundation, www.loukoumifoundation.org

  • Little Sisters of the Poor, Our Lady of the Angels Monastery

  • Our local parish -Assumption Church

  • Saint Patrick's Cathedral, St. Bernard Abbey & School
