Like many of you, there are days when I just want to set in front of the TV. Maybe it is too hot outside, raining or maybe you are in just one of those moods. Searching for a show or movie that will just make you laugh.

A few years ago when I was passing kidney stones, I searched for a show that would keep my mind off the pain I was in. (Just a side note about kidney stones, they are so overrated). With little patience, I flipped as fast as I could through what was on Netflix.

I stopped when I saw a show called “Kindness Diaries.” A lot of the time, I do not read what the movie and show are about, but the title pulled me in to read about it. It was about this guy Leon Logothetis, who traveled the world relying on the kindness of people for food, somewhere to sleep, gas along with other things he needed it except, he could not accept money.

You would be surprised by some of the people that do help. There are even some that do not have a lot to give but can feed him and have a place for him to sleep. But there were times when some people would not help him. Whether they were not able or just did not want to help.

For some of the lucky people that Leon meets he helped make their dreams come true, which always makes me cry.

I was sad when the series was done for that time. Then recently I fund that there is now a “Kindness Diaries 2.” It is same as the first series, but with a different car. I also sat down and watched that show until the end of that season. I really hope that there is going to be another season.

Especially during this time, it is great to watch the show to see other people sharing kindness. There are still people out there that will help out. I feel that everyone should give these shows on chance.

What do you think it would take for a person to show that kind of kindness?

Review: The Temple of the Crystal Timekeeper By Jill Sheets Summery came from  http://www.fionaingram.com/ "Continuing the adventure that ended in Britain just a short while ago, cousins Adam and Justin Sinclair, with their friend Kim Maleka, are now hunting for the third Stone of Power, one of seven mysterious stones lost centuries ago. The third stone might be located in an ancient city, hidden in the depths of the Mexican jungle. When their small plane crashes in the jungle, Adam, Justin, Kim, and James are rescued by an uncontacted tribe. James, who is wounded, must stay behind as the kids, with only a young boy, Tukum, as their guide, make their way through the dense and dangerous jungle to find the city. Riding makeshift rafts on a crocodile-infested river and evading predators are just part of this hazardous task. Of course, their old adversary Dr. Khalid is close behind as the kids press on in search of the lost city of stone gods. But he is not the

Review for Joni B. Cole's Book "Party Like It's 2044." Reviewed by: Jill Sheets   When I first started reading "Party Like it's 2044," I was a little concerned because I had trouble getting through the first essay. I had to keep going back to the beginning and start over. But, as I continued reading the essays, they became more entertaining and funny. I recommend this book to anyone who not only loves to read essays, but especially ones that are funny.

Chit Chatting with Neill McKee

 Chit Chatting with Neill McKee Interview by: Jill Sheets J: Tell us about yourself. N: I guess you could call me a world wanderer from Canada. I was never happy staying in one place, beginning in my early years, as I have described in Kid on the Go! Memoir of My Childhood and Youth. I was a mischievous child and a rebel in my youth, but I began to think differently in senior high school with the help of my English teacher and other mentors. I was rather lost in my university days—didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life, until I saw a poster to apply to become a volunteer teacher overseas, much like the Peace Corps in the US, but with no compulsion to escape the draft for the Vietnam War. At the end of the memoir, in 1968, I head off to the exotic island of Borneo in Southeast Asia to teach secondary school, an experienced that changed my life. My award-winning memoir, Finding Myself in Borneo: Sojourns in Sabah, tells readers how it all happened—a maturing experience. It also doc
