I love heading back to Cleveland this time of year. Family is such a big part of my life. I am truly blessed!

It is always a special time seeing friends while traveling across the country. This was certainly one of those times.

Today Bogart and I visited 528 students at Hopkins Elementary School. These K-8 students were excited to learn about the Kindness Bus Tour. Our daylong visit included 12 twenty minute programs. It was such a joy to talk to kids about kindness, respect, compassion and gratitude. The message was very well received.
Thank you to the faculty and staff for arranging this visit to your wonderful school.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there. You are so important to everyone around you. This is your day to shine. Accept all the gifts you receive with an open heart. You are so very deserving.

The 5th annual One Million Acts of Kindness Day is in the books. Thank you to everyone who participated. This fun event takes place every year on April 27th. Doing as many kind acts as you possibly can during the course of the day challenges you to be kind all day long. It really is a fun way to celebrate…being kind all the time.

Visiting 500 schools is our goal for the 2015-16 school year. We are planning virtual visits via Skype and video to compliment our classroom visits. If you know of a principal or teacher who would like this information, please forward this to them.

“When Bogart runs in his sleep, it’s very funny. I’ll bet he’s dreaming of chasing a bunny.” These are the opening words to Bogarts new book, Bogart Makes Friends at the Park. This book teaches the importance of making lifelong friends to children.
