Goodness: A lesson Through Real Pictures!

by Vickey Pahnke Taylor May 15, 2013

A friend sent me some beautiful pictures that show, in real ways, how people share goodness. It was another sweet lesson in the goodness of people, and how something seemingly tiny can make the day – not just for the receiver and the giver of the deed, but for all who find out about it.

Here is today’s Story In Goodness, simply shared via photographs!

1. A man sees a young woman walking the hot streets, with no shoes. He promptly takes off his …

Good As Gold! Integrity

by Vickey Pahnke Taylor March 12, 2013

Good as gold. A fitting way to define two fellows who work for a HVAC company in Sacrament, California. It made me smile outside and inward to read the news clip. This is the the story:

This Company, and Employees – Good as Gold!

Really? How many people do things like this, these days? More than we imagine, perhaps.

The really cool thing is that this isn’t the first time the Clark and Rush Company has found money – and given it to its rightful …

Football And Family – A Nice Twist!

by Vickey Pahnke Taylor November 20, 2012

What a nice twist! While some focus on family, others on the food and Macy’s parade, Thanksgiving means – to some – football. Here’s a delightful news story about pro football coach who stresses the importance of family as priority. It’s a good little article that made me smile… and the principle is not at all small. Seems perfectly as we approach Thanksgiving. In a perfect world, we’d combine food, traditions, family, friends, football …. any of the things that make us happy. But it’s …

Hot Time in the Old Town – Celebrating Fire Fighters

by Vickey Pahnke Taylor October 23, 2012

There are so many good people who grow goodness in our world. Today I’m celebrating fire fighters. The folks who really understand what it feels like to be part of a “hot time in the old town tonight.” The story goes that Theodore Metz, who wrote the rousing ragtime tune in 1896, was on the road with his band when a band member saw some kids start a fire. It was burning down the building – thus the words about there being a hot time …

Four Powerful Things To Say

by Vickey Pahnke Taylor June 21, 2012

There are four powerful things we can say that may change everything. Well – not everything. But we can see some things change in wonderfully good ways. We should use them daily, all the time. They are really short. Really simple. And really effective.

Fact is, most of us are taught them as little children. They sometimes work like magic! Sometimes the overgrowth of mortal weeds along our life path might cause us to put them in our backpack, not pulling them out as often …

Deformity Or Beauty It’s From the Inside Out

by Vickey Pahnke Taylor June 7, 2012

(Photo from www.poptower.com)

There’s this man named J. R. Martinez. He’s learned to redefine deformity and beauty – it’s from the inside out. He seems to have started a whole new movement for self worth and victory over injury, pain, and depression. His good example – and heart-wrenching story- can’t help but encourage us in our own struggles.

J. R. joined the military service at age nineteen, because he wanted to serve his country. Having had a dad who served twenty years in the …
