The Kindness Concert Experience
The past few years have been rich with experiential life lessons. I’m a writer.
A little over 10 years ago, I was encouraged to write for 10 minutes a day. Ten years later – and I have over 3,600 daily writing sessions. Some are revealing. Some are concealing.
A number of people I love have dealt with extreme difficulties. Perhaps I find the stories. More likely, the stories find me.
One of the kindest people I know has dealt with more challenges this year than many people experience in a life-time. Yet – she keeps rising up, teaching art classes, and winning community awards for her kindness. At the end of the day, she goes home to her dogs and a rising stack of bills. She’s gifted. She’s strong. She’s marginalized.
She saved my life. This kindhearted woman gave me a place to stay while my Mom passed away.
She – and many others like her – need a break.
I was heavily involved in my Mom’s care over the past few years. The most important parts of our relationship were respect, spirituality, gratitude, and kindness.
Mom encouraged me to show love to everyone. I will keep her legacy alive – to the best of my ability.
Be grateful for all things. All experiences. All people.

Our short term plans
MINNESOTA IS MY HOME!!!
I have too many people I love to ever leave – completely.
Music and the people behind the scenes have literally changed my life – for the better.
The Kindness Concert Experience offices will stay in Golden Valley, Minnesota.
AND – I WILL BE BACK… (You have been warned).
THE ROAD-TRIP – REASONS
I recently acquired a used 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan. This vehicle will be an excellent camper/van as I dance across the country.
THE ROAD TRIP – A QUEST FOR KINDNESS
I’m super excited about my road trip. I will meet people across the country to a few key questions about kindness. You can follow our progress – HERE (Insert web page = Blog – the road trip – and the key questions)
STORIES OF KINDNESS – Blog posts – video of people answering questions --- Get releases signed along the way. Keep it simple.
I will leave Minnesota on or before September 6 and plan to arrive in Laguna Beach between Sept 12 and Sept 20.
I will join other leaders in the World Kindness Movement to share ideas and resources in preparation for November 13, 2019 and beyond.

THE ROAD-TRIP – REASONS
- I need a break. My Mom passed on in January. Grief sucks. Especially alone.
- Raise awareness of the power of kindness.
- Reconnect with people who are dear to me
- Share stories of kindness and encouragement
- Raise funds to keep this good thing going …
- I have books to write.
- My work is not location or time specific. My vision is too big to be contained by the mere constraints of time. There is a spiritual dimension to everything. Hindsight is an enormous teacher. Back there are life lessons. I made it through that. WOW. And what did I learn? How did I become more of me? How did I deepen my love and compassion?
- Meet people and record answers to key questions
- Increase the awareness of our WORLD KINDNESS MOVEMENT.
- Share stories of strength, struggle, survival, and support.
