I was walking through South Station just 2 days after our "Kindness Bag" Giveaway and there was a group of women behind the kiosk where we set up shop with signs saying, "Positive People Day." In short, it is an organization started by this woman, Nancy Purbeck. She has wonderful business cards that say "make a positive impact in your community through simple communications of sharing.....victory over violence." I stopped to find out what they were up to as well as let them know just 2 days earlier we were giving out kindness bags. At that moment she had a big smile on her face and said that she had heard about what we did through Daniel Dombak, the Marketing Director for South Station, and thought it was a wonderful thing what we were doing. In part because of what we did on Tuesday, Daniel thought this could be "kindness" week at South Station given our "work" on tuesday and now this great "work" by Nancy with respect to "Positive People Day." One goal of this class is to highlight that there are many many wonderfully caring individuals and organizations doing amazing things for others. We have already had the opportunity to meet or learn about many such as Talia Leman at RandomKid. There are hundreds, thousands, millions more....when you meet these people take the opportunity to find out what they are doing and thank them. I look forward to reconnecting with Nancy and learning about ways that we can help each other fulfill both our missions.
