"My Fortune to you" by Ashley E. Meadows
I love Flickr. The many awe-inspiring photos and the people who take them. The abundance of clever captions. The endless supply of kitten pics. And this: a tag search for “kindness” produced pages and pages of search results that made my heart swell.
I quickly favorited a handful and started e-mailing the shutter-flies behind them asking for an interview. Sending short emails with brief explanations of Altrooist and what we hope to do — happily I got lots of yeses. And here is the first.
The photo above was taken by Ashley E. Meadows. Here are her answers to my 5 questions:
1. What caught your eye that made you stop and take this picture?
I always loved getting fortune cookies and this one in particular caught my eye because of the saying. One of those “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”…spread kindness to one and hopefully it will trickle to everyone around you.
2. Pick a color for kindness:
Peach
3. What’s your favorite way to be nice?
Surprising someone you know who is down or who just needs a pick me up with their favorite drink from Starbucks or a card and flowers.
4. Who is your kindness hero?
Mother Teresa. She was so inspiring.
5. Pick one word to describe your best intentions:
Faithful
