You are Amazing, A Kindness Journey

My name is Josh Crowder. I believe that together WE are enough. We can change the world. Every time we choose to show kindness… every time we choose to love… we are changing the world for ourselves and others. I am attempting moment by moment to be the change I desire to see in our world. I fear that if I do not change my world – if I do not act – change will not come.


There are so many problems in the world. I am human just like you, and I have hurt and been hurt. I have chosen selfishness and greed and been affected by others who have done the same. I have watched pain and unkindness damage individuals and groups and nations and the world.


What is the solution to these problems? How can we make things better? Today I choose to be a solution – to construct kindness and create love. Kindness is simple. In a world that seems to be full of the complex and unprovable, why not be simply kind all of the time? Why not flip the script everywhere in an attempt to flip the script of the future of our world. With kindness you need nothing but you. Together, WE are enough.


For some examples of the tidal wave of change we have been generating through kindness, and that we need your help to continue, see these pages on facebook:

You can also take a look at the videos on this page which highlight a day in the life of a kindness journey.


The next phase of my kindness journey begins April 1. I need your help to keep the journey going. As of April 1st I have no vehicle, housing, or food. All I have is my desire to spread kindness around the US as I travel and interact with others. I also have another human being joining this kindness journey. Bishoy heard about this movement online and saved his own money to come to America to help. He will be flying into Los Angeles the first week of April, and plans to spend the next three months by my side as we offer our lives as kindness to the world.


Can you help? If you do, I cannot offer perfection but I will promise to do my best to use each dollar efficiently to pour kindness, love, and hope to our world through action. I will ask myself, if I were in the shoes of those who gave, or in the shoes of those I am interacting with, how would I want to be treated? I will then show love with kindness in every way I can. For those who give to the cause, know that my greatest form of accountability is transparency. I will keep you updated on the acts of kindness you are helping to fund. As I will be traveling without a stable address, my sister Melody Crowder-Meyer will handle all donations received and will disperse them on a need by need basis to cover basic survival needs as we continue to offer our lives as kindness.
 

I hope you’ll consider helping me continue my kindness journey. And I hope, even if you cannot contribute financially, that you will contribute to this change by showing kindness to those around you always. Find ways to make a difference. And, if you can, please help me make a difference too!
 
Every moment of every day we change history, the question is how - for better or for worse? Today I will choose to be the difference I desire to see in our world. We love and thank you world for being you.
Kindness, Love, Peace and Respect to you,

You are Amazing and so am I! We can be the change!
