		<description>Stephen,
I&#039;m a little late getting back here - to your question - my random act of kindness.  We had a surprise birthday party at our office for our president - and I jumped in to help get it all setup - to help it all come together.  His wife, who planned this, was thrilled (and a bit teary...) on how it all turned out.  I was only a small part - one set of several hands involved in making it a memorable day for him...</description>

I&#039;m so thrilled to learn this blog has become given you a fascinating glimpse of pieces of my journey.     You are definitely a highly evolved soul with a very strong sense of awareness that I&#039;ve not seen in a while.  I find it utterly amazing that I and this blog has attracted your energy and fascination to the point where you&#039;ve made a strong presence on my radar.  It&#039;s a most amazing, fascinating thing that&#039;s happening here.

Like I mentioned in another response to one of your comments, I&#039;ve never seen anyone leave so many uplifting, powerful and thought provoking comments within a short period of time with authentic, honest and heart rendering comments!  Thanks again!

I am such a strong believer that nothing is random or coincidental.  I know that all of us are being prepared for something in the future.  We are all life&#039;s perpetual trainees.  I know I&#039;m being prepared for something significant but I have no idea what it will be.  That&#039;s part of the mystery.  

I can understand why it&#039;s important for us to learn the lessons and not know what&#039;s in store for us because then we won&#039;t have the benefit of learning anything.  Of course, many of us wish we could peek into our future and know exactly what will happen but even if we could do that, it would take away the mystery of life.  We wouldn&#039;t learn anything.  Besides there is a such a thing as free will so even if we could glimpse into our future, that can be changed by free will at any time.

I find it fascinating that you say the school of energy is a place that existed previous to my discovery.  What you&#039;re saying is as we open up to new levels of awareness, we become cognizant of things that have always been there but never seen before.  Is that what you&#039;re saying?  If so, I understand totally.  If not, please clarify.

Wow, thanks for saying my readers are fortunate that I choose to share.  That&#039;s way cool!  :)</description>

		<description>Stephen, this blog is a fascinating glimpse of pieces of your journey. Everything happens for every person at exactly the right time. Nothing is random or coincidental. That means that as you raise your awareness to energy within and around you, Forces beyond you are making new doors available to you to open.  It is not for anyone else to tell you what is possible, what kinds of sensations and skills are available. Rather, it is up to each individual to discover certain things for himself. 

The school of Energy you recently experienced is a place that existed previous to your discovery. It simply abided beyond your awareness, beyond your willingness and acceptance to see, feel and sense on new levels. As you choose to open your mind and faculties differently, then the directions of your choose-your-own-adventure life expand.  As you perceive your choices to expand, your decisions transport you to new places. Your readers are fortunate that you choose to share.</description>

I truly enjoy the random acts of kindness.  It makes my day and lifts me energy-wise.  Something special takes place when I enact on impulse or on intuition.

Just to give you an example of how random acts of kindness can boomerang right back to you, let me share a quick story.

Just before the holidays (Dec 08), I took a Reki course to become a certified Reki practitioner.   After returning back home, I set out to be guided to a place where I could eventually set up a practice.  My intention was to create space at home but the angels had other plans.  

One day, I was led to a &quot;School of Energy&quot; near my home to give away some appliances I hardly used (microwave, breadmaker, etc).  No one was in the building except one person - on the 2nd floor.  I went up there and told her about my &quot;give-away&quot; (random act of kindness).  

A week later, I&#039;m talking to this same lady who offered to let me use one of her rooms at the School of Energy for my new Reki practice!  Not only that but she happened to have a portable table that she was looking to give away.  Guess who the recipient is going to be?

Isn&#039;t it amazing?  Now, of course, the object of doing random acts of kindness is not to &quot;get anything.&quot;  That&#039;d be manipulation.  You want to do it from the heart but the benefits are far reaching.  You not only feel better energy-wise but you do get something in return - eventually.  It&#039;s how the universe works.  Amazing!

Thanks for commenting with such fervor and dedication.  It&#039;s wonderful to have your energy here.</description>

		<description>It is a meaningful thing to evolve to be more deliberate with random acts of kindness. People still help strangers across the street, give up their seat on the bus or train to someone who needs it more than them.  And yet, people are not as conscious of the needs of others them as they could be.  What we observe in others mirrors ourselves.

I appreciate the uplifting energy of this post.  It encourages each of us to be well, to be happy, and to share postive vibes in whichever thoughts and gestures come naturally.  Sometimes we can benefit from listening to ourselves differently or reconditioning our behaviour.  This can only happen if we become more aware of what we do or do not do. 

To give from the heart is what enriches the souls of others. You can give of your time, give material things, share your experience, and offer whatever you feel might be used by others as part of their tools to heal. Just put something positive others. People will choose to receive it and use it their way.</description>

You certainly have an acute intuitive system, don&#039;t you?  It&#039;s true that the best kind of random acts of kindness are those you keep to yourself or leave between you and God but it&#039;s also uplifting and inspiring to hear about the ripple effects they have on other people&#039;s lives.

Speaking of kindness, I just got an email from a friend about &quot;Johnny the Bagger.&quot;  Have you seen the inspirational movie about a grocery bagger with down&#039;s syndrome?  If not, go here and watch it - I believe it&#039;ll inspire you:

Thankfully, I&#039;ve made a complete recovery and am enjoying vibrant health once again.  Those colds can be nasty sometimes!

Feeding parking meters, especially for people as they were getting a ticket?  I LOVE IT.  Remind me to tag you along when I&#039;m in the city of Chicago, trying to find a parking space and not having enough coins to last the hour.  LOL.</description>

		<description>Sorry you have been sick, Stephen.  I had the same thing just before Christmas.  Recovered also in about five miserable days.  Could not stop sneezing!

All of your interviews are excellent but I have to say this one was my favorite.

For years, I have been feeding parking meters for people.  Right as they were getting a ticket. 

But more has to be done.

Whatta guy this is!</description>
