Kindness begets kindness. So, wanted to create a space to share and amplify stories of kindness with the hope that it inspires a chain reaction.

Although I’ve been surrounded by many generous people, there’s one particular instance that stands out., especially in those early days of my jewelry journey. I was still pretty new, selling my work on Etsy. I remember sharing somewhere that I rarely kept any of my pieces…this was how I made a living, so everything I made went out the door. Read More>>

Michelle Hillman gave me a way to do something with my grief. On March 27, 2023, my son hid behind a copy machine at The Covenant School while it was under attack by a mass shooter. In a matter of minutes, he lost his innocence. And I lost any ability to sit quietly and wait for change. I’ve never been wired to sit still. Read More>>

The kindest thing ever done for me was when my Monday Watercolor Class took it upon themselves to update Missouri Artists On Main classroom. The worked as a team to coordinate buying supplies to paint, move cabinets around, make them orderly by filing, boxing and labeling supplies. They painted the classroom a cream color with white trim.

Megan Keller

The kindest thing anyone has ever done for me didn’t feel like kindness at first. It felt like a disruption. Like exposure. Like the moment your life cracks open and everything you thought you understood about the world—and yourself—shifts permanently. It began on a cold night in January, sometime between 2016 and 2017. Three days earlier, I had been robbed at gunpoint. Read More>>

Jazmon Malone

The kindest thing someone has ever done for me is mention me or Jazmon’s Jewels in rooms I wasn’t in. I feel like people don’t have to support you but when they do it means the world to me. I’m forever grateful. When people share my art I can’t explain how wonderful that feels. Read More>>

The kindest thing anyone does for me is giving me their time and presence. One thing I enjoy about acting is when action is called, there is no other choice but to be present in the moment. That being said I have had a few examples of actors who I look up to, be present with me between the takes. Read More>>

One of the kindest things someone has ever done for me came at a time when I was simply trying to help without expecting anything in return. I had been supporting someone as they navigated the medical needs of their mother—helping them understand the process, coordinating steps, and just being there during a stressful time. Read More>>

I pursued graduate studies in interior design with a very specific intention: to create environments that support people’s well-being—spaces that feel calm, restorative, and deeply personal. I was interested in how design could shape not just how a space looks, but how it makes someone feel on a daily basis. Read More>>

Michelle ONeil

I am the parent of a child with autism and one of the kindest things someone did for me was to tell me that they saw me. I had known this person, prior to parenthood. We trained in the same martial arts school and I really respected her. I moved away and had kids. Read More>>
