Week Twenty One: Thank You Call to Kids Help Phone Line (Jeunesse J’écoute).

This week, I decided to call Kids Help Phone Line to thank them for their services. They’re a great confidential resource for youth who are seeking for anonymous support and advice on life struggles and obstacles.

I feel like these organizations are key to help youth grow as individuals and to make them feel like they are not alone in this journey called life. I thanked them for the time and effort that they dedicate to helping these kids grow stronger and more confident.

Every little bit counts.

Week Twenty: Leaving Bus Tickets at the Bus Station.

This week, after dashing to the bus stop in fear of missing my bus, I found myself ticketless in front of the driver. Thankfully, I had change on me so I was able to hop on without a problem. Then I wondered, how many times a day does this happen to people at this particular bus stop?

The next day, I decided to leave some bus tickets behind at the stop in hope of relieving stress from one person who couldn’t originally get from point A to B successfully.

Week Nineteen: Mother’s Day Card by Mail.

This week’s gesture is small and common, yet very meaningful: sending love to my maman by mail for Mother’s Day. Mothers everywhere deserve to be celebrated for the length of a lifetime, and then some. I hope that every mother felt the appreciation that they merit on this special day and on every other day of the year.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Week Eighteen: Picking Up Trash and Recyclable Materials During Lunch.

A couple of weeks ago, I went home to visit my family in Northern Ontario. On the drive back to the greyhound station, my mom and I noticed this man picking up trash on the side of the highway. She was saying how this man was very well known in the community and how his daily routine consisted of walking from village to village in the area to pick up litter by the side of the road in order to make it a better and cleaner place to live. I thought this was a great deed and it got me thinking that I should do the same too. 

When I was taking a walk during my lunch break at work on Friday, I noticed that there was this field full of trash nearby. I went in the closest store and asked for a garbage bag. The nice man, after chuckling to my unusual request, handed me one and expressed  support and gratitude towards what I was doing. In 15 minutes, I managed to pick up a full garbage bag of trash and some recyclable materials.

Fifteen minutes is all it took to make a healthy green field a bit more pleasing to the eye.
