Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia is the form of Pediatric Cancer that has the highest cure rate, with its percentage hovering at around 90 percent. Unfortunately these statistics did not help Keaton Barro᷈n. On today's podcast Keaton's mother Holly will talk about her son's 5 1/2 year battle against this disease which included 2 relapses before his passing at the age of 8 in May of 2018. Holly will also discuss her Keaton's Kindness Foundation which Keaton himself actually started along with his friend Kay Tanger 4 months before he passed away. The word KINDNESS is such an integral part of Holly and her husband Luke , that they were chosen by Parents Magazine AMERICA'S KINDEST, FAMILY in 2021.
Did you know that Random Acts of Kindness Day is February 17? The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation provides ideas on how to make kindness the norm in society. If such an organization were present in Tabitha’s day, she might have been a founding member! We meet Tabitha, also called Dorcas in Greek, at the close of Acts 9. Peter was traveling, visiting “the Lord’s people” (v. 32). He served in a pastoral role for new believers and his healing ministry in Lydda and Joppa opened the gospel door to the Gentiles. When Peter arrived in Lydda, he met Aeneas, who had been paralyzed and bedridden for years. We don’t know if he was a follower of Jesus, but Peter called on Christ’s power to heal the man. Immediately, Aeneas rose. God used that miracle to bring to the Lord “all those who lived in Lydda and Sharon” (v. 35). Healing often played an evangelistic role but happened also within the Christian community. In verse 36, we are told of Tabitha, who is identified as a “disciple,” known for her devotion to helping the poor. She was well loved. While Peter was still in Lydda, Tabitha died, and the disciples sent for him, believing he could help. When he arrived, Tabitha’s home was filled with widows. They were weeping and showing off the robes she had made for them. Tabitha’s body had already been prepared for burial. However, with authority, Peter followed the protocol Jesus had used with Jairus’s daughter (Mark 5:21–43). He asked everyone to leave the room. He knelt and prayed. Then he said to the dead woman, “Tabitha, get up” (v. 40). She opened her eyes and sat up. Tabitha’s resurrection became huge news, and “many people believed in the Lord” (v. 42). >> Are you known for your kindness? As believers we are called to do good and to be kind. But unlike the world’s view, this is not random kindness. Rather, our kindness, as Christians, should always point people to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

The Circle of Kindness Foundation, which helps children with rare illnesses, was created in early 2021 at Vladimir Putin's own initiative. It's funded by a two percent tax on the income of Russia's wealthiest citizens. The organization pays for expensive medications -- but competition is rare at the auctions where these drugs are procured. One of the foundation's main suppliers is a company called Irvin -- and it's connected to both the foundation's head and to the family of Alexey Dyumin, Putin's former bodyguard. In addition, the husband of the woman responsible for purchasing medications on behalf of the Circle of Kindness works for the owner of the company that supplies the foundation with Zolgensma -- the most expensive drug in the world. Meduza correspondents Svetlana Reiter and Maria Zholobova break down how the Circle of Kindness Foundation's procurement system works and why its board of trustees (which includes well-known actors and philanthropists) believes it lacks transparency.

We often think of kindness as something that requires effort, time, humility, patience or other exertion. In other words, we often tend to think of kindness as a sacrifice. But is it? As we examine kindness more closely, we find that kindness often pays us more than it costs us. In the podcast we examine the principle of “lift” in geese and how kindness operates much the same among humans. As we lift others, we lift ourselves. Kindness impacts everyone involved—the giver the receiver and even those watching!On the podcast you'll learn: The impact of kindness on the receiver and the giver as found in studies. What geese can teach us about kindness. When kindness stops being kind and starts being unkind And lots moreYou can download a free calendar with prompts for daily kindness from the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation. https://assets.randomactsofkindness.org/calendars/neighborhood/2021/2021_RAK_kindness_calendars.pdfFree Mini-Coaching SessionSign-up for a free 30-min. mini-coaching session.

Houston Kraft talks about his book - Deep Kindness: A Revolutionary Guide for the Way We Think, Talk, and Act in Kindness. This is episode 328 of Teaching Learning Leading K12. Houston Kraft is a speaker, facilitator, kindness advocate and according to his Twitter account - a professional hugger. Houston’s job is to practice kindness. In high school, he started an organization called Random Acts of Kindness, Etc. (R.A.K.E.) to create a more connected, compassionate campus. In college, he created Our Kindness with a focus on service, community building, and reducing anxiety through intentional acts of care. Over the next eight years, Houston spoke at over 600 schools, organizations, and events globally to over a half a million people. He has spoken in over thirty states, Mexico, Canada, and Uganda. In 2016, Houston co-created Character Strong, which provides curriculum and training for safer and kinder schools and has already worked with 2,000 schools internationally, serving over one million students with their message, daily. In 2019, Houston was featured by Lay’s for their Spreading Smiles campaign. He has been featured on the Huffington Post and highlighted by the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation. His messages about character, leadership, compassion, and kindness resonate with audiences age 5 to 95. Houston is the author of Deep Kindness: A Revolutionary Guide For the Way We Think, Talk, and Act in Kindness with a 30 Act Starter Plan, Journal Prompts, and Practical Exercises. DEEP KINDNESS is a call to action, beckoning us to a deeper understanding that calls readers to move past the surface level ‘confetti kindness’ marked by cutesy phrases and empty gestures. Instead, Kraft reveals, deep kindness is an ever-growing skillset rooted in empathy, perspective-taking, resilience, courage, and forgiveness. Featuring a 30-act starter plan, journal prompts, and practical exercises, DEEP KINDNESS dives into the types of kindness the world needs most today, taking an honest look at the gap between our belief in kindness and our ability to practice it well.
