Get ready to be inspired as we welcome the dynamic duo, Missy Merschman and Stacey Burnham. These extraordinary women have been spreading a wave of kindness through Minnesota with their initiatives - the Anoka Kindness Rock Garden and the Minnesota Kindness Alliance. Listen as they share their experiences of participating in the Anoka Halloween Parade and the Cambridge Snowflake Parade with a stunning light-up float, and their aspirations to grace the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade someday.
We delve into the profound concept of kindness in this episode. Drawing inspiration from Missy and Stacy's work, we lay out a proposal to dedicate a day each quarter for acts of kindness. Imagine the positive ripple effect when each of us takes a moment to share a smile, hold a door open, or perform a simple act of kindness. The highlight of this episode is the upcoming Minnesota Kindness Alliance Make a Difference Day Festival - an event designed to spotlight and support local nonprofits. We also underscore the vital importance of mental health and suicide awareness in our community outreach initiatives.
The concluding segment delves into an exciting project for Make a Difference Day. Missy and Stacey share their plans to distribute gift certificates at a local grocery store. Beyond this, they dream of establishing a community house, similar to St. Clouds' COP House, a place where various organizations can unite for a common cause - providing services and support for those in need. Be inspired by these wonderful women who are making tangible changes in their communities and find out how you can jump on the kindness wagon. This is an episode you won't want to miss!
