Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of this blog?
The purpose of this blog is to track my journey of becoming a more compassionate person. I want to set a good example for my daughter by showing her how easy it can be to spread kindness to those we know and have never met. In addition to showing compassion, I believe it’s also important to show kindness to those who provide compassion, security, and goodness to those in their communities. I hope to attract followers who can share their stories of spreading compassion. Feel free to leave comments of encouragement and stories of compassion you’ve shown or been shown in your life.

Why 222 acts of compassion?
My daughter was born on 02/22.

What can one person do?
I believe one person can do a great deal. Many of my acts involve crafts and baking, because those are two things I’m good at. However, maybe by providing one with compassion, I could inspire that person to pay it forward and help someone else with one of his or her gifts.

I wish I could do something like this, but...
Give the gift of your time and skills.
It only takes a moment of your time and a buck to buy a cup of coffee.

  1. Great idea, Amy! I'm not a wife or mother (yet), but I will do my best to practice compassion now. Why not?

  2. This is even more beautiful that you have wrapped your daughter's birthday into this compassion project. Thank you again for spreading your compassion to Haiti.

    Your daughter will grow in ways you never imagined because of what you are doing.

    God bless you!!
