The Kindness Chronicles

Fascinating interview! Pack a lunch as we uncover a lot in this extended version of the KC. From the Kensington Runestone to the mysterious Denver Airport to the JFK assassination. We cover a lot here. Wild Ride!

We hear from Salty (Linda), Crafty (Karen), Pretty (Patty), Smarty (Brenda) and Spicy (Denise).

What does it take to make, maintain, cultivate and celebrate a friendship? Somehow, a group of 17 friends have done just that for more than 35 years. No one has been "voted off the island."...and probably never will. We explore the secrets behind this special group of GNOmies, who have made an impact on the lives of MANY they have encountered over the years.  

Musician Justin Ploof shares the story behind his song," The Weight they Carried," a tribute to Vietnam Veterans. 

We add some listener suggestions to the Bingo Card. Time for 2022 Kindness Bingo!

The KC Crew start a 2022 Kindness Bingo Card. Share your ideas for additional Bingo squares.

We are joined by Shadia Tobkin, who tells about Girls Rise Up. An wonderful organization that serves young girls who have lost their moms. A lovely person with a heart-warming mission.  

We visit with our friend, Shirley De la Torre and we cover a wide variety of topics...from the role that Facebook and Social media can play in spreading hope and joy. We discuss the importance of gratitude and Shirley tells us about her work in animal welfare.

In this abbreviated episode of the KC, we have a little fun at a friend's expense.  We get to know our Sponsor, State Farm Agent Brian Youmans. Steve puts Brian thru the Clueless Quiz and his final answer will cause either a warm heart or an aggressive eye roll. You be the judge.  

The Salvation Army's Executive Director of Development, Brian Molohon and our favorite elf, Krisi Bailey discuss an annualChristmas tradition for the KC Crew and their friends, volunteering at the SA Toy Shop and other Salvation Army programs. We learn why John  must wear a disguise if he ever plans to return to the Toy Shop.
