I think you guys are amazing for paving the way for everybody in making them realize that by being kind, they’re making the biggest difference in the world. Me and a friend here, in the small town of Houston B.C., are having a free barbeque for everyone in the town and we are giving out free hugs hoping that people will pay it forward and do the same. Its great knowing that 6 years after your extreme kindness tour, you guys are still having an effect on the world…i know for a fact that you, Eric, Val, and Chris sure changed my life. I would love to meet you guys and I'm sure others from this town of 4000 people would like to too, but, i know that's totally out of the question so any advice that you have on how to make a bigger difference, please let me know...im so game. Thanks, you guys rock:) HI:) I am 18 years old and i just wanted to let you know that your crew has inspired me soooo much and made me realize that “it’s kool to be kind”.

I think that's pretty cool!

Deeply moving, July 31, 2001
By Darthjal “Darthjal”

I read “Illusions” by the same author when I was 13 or so, and it opened my eyes to the fearful clinging and self-doubt that prevents so many people from reaching their full potential. Reading “One” twenty years later made me feel ashamed of the opportunities I had let slip past, and of the neglectful way I often treat my future self. It also renewed my resolve to take responsibility for my every dream, doubt, achievement, and failure. And it made me appreciate Richard Bach that much more for writing the two books that have most influenced my outlook on life.

I too am in lecture and with a long school year still ahead of me (currently a nursing student in classes until july) I frequently sit and search for an inspiring summer project of sorts.. find away to support a cause, give my time for greater good, something that I can dedicate a couple months too prior to starting my last year of school. I know there are lots of things I could take part in, and know you won't have the answer for me, but thought i would throw it out there for possible suggestion.. keep up the kind work, you are an inspiration! looks like the site is a popular in class pick me up.
