About This Episode
A single act of kindness can go a long way. That’s today’s lesson on the Tuesday People Podcast with Mitch Albom. When producer Lisa saw a news story she perceived as an injustice, she stepped into action to help out a total stranger. Mitch shares a parallel story about a similar act he followed through on years ago that turned into SAY Detroit, an expansive charity organization that’s raised millions of dollars for people in need. No act of kindness, no matter how small, ever goes wasted. Let’s all strive to spread goodness and positivity wherever we go. You’ll be amazed at the domino effect it ignites.

It amazes me that each episode I listen to brings me back to the connection I felt with reading TWM many years ago and my admiration towards Mitch as a story teller. I have had those stand up moments with my brother and a total stranger and the outcome has been less than desirable. I was privileged to talk a man who got people to stand behind the injustice with Whales and started the save the whale movement.His name is Roger Payne he passed on June tenth of this year and his words of “it is up to the artist of the world to get people to act!”still resonate like Morrie’s “You talk I’ll listen”I believe God works in mysterious ways and our paths will cross and I can share more of the commonalities we share on loss and the pending death of a loved one.My farther the Whale Man of New York Founder of Gotham Whale is fighting for his life fighting pancreatic cancer for the past 2 years and the doctors are looking at his life in terms of weeks.I continue to pray and god has answered many. My prayers now include a chance to have Mitch say hello from one author to another my dad is a very good writer and I will send a copy of to catch a leaf that he wrote. Very fitting as the leaves are changing colors and about to burn out of the beautiful life. Episode 181 hit home big time!!God Bless
