My feel good experience…
Hi my name is jane hurley. I have a company named "RedneckTator Nuts.
These are a style of doughnut that is original and are made bacically made out of potatoes. I have gluetin free and diabectic friendly and may varities of regular doughnts. I also have a very very large assortment of toppings to suit each variety mentioned up above.
On the 11th day of the 11th month I had the opportunity to give 11 dozen away to 11 homeless residents here in Grande Prairie.
The reason is that it made me feel great and it gave people a smile on their face and something warm in the hearts. Since then I have given away all of my overstock to the homeless on a regular basis.
Reference to Chris and Pickes who live in the homeless shelter here in town.
My real reason for my kindness is just because I love to see people happy.
I will continue this until I no longer make the "Redneck Tator Nuts"

My feel good experience…
The Feel Good Ripple, since it's first introduction, sits always somewhere in my subconscious. Recently I was in line at HomeSense behind a well/dressed mother and daughter (8-10 yr old) who were obviously having a fun shoping day. As the mother took out cash for her purchase(putting her wallet back in her purse)I made eye contact with the daughter and smiled, and as so often happens now in today's world, the little girl quickly looked away and stepped a little closer to her mom. The lady found she was a dollar and change short of having enough cash and looking back at the growing line-up started frantically scrambling for her wallet and plastic. I had a toonie in my pocket and said "Here please use this". To which she smiled graciously, took it without hesitation and said "Thank you so much". Now the pleasure of that exchange, for me, was not that I had helped that mother but the look on that young girl's face. She had bewilderment, amazement and questions in her eyes as they flickered back and forth from me - to her mother - and back to me again. I'm sure this generated much conversation, hopefully about the kindness of strangers and my wish is that, 'that youngster leant about The Feel Good Ripple and it now sits somewhere in her mind, to be used when her opportunities arise’.

My feel good experience…
One night at around 10 P.M I was coming out of Mc donalds with my son.It was snowing heavily and I was removing snow from my car.An old gentleman came to me asking about some address he was trying to find.Since I am new to this place,so I had no idea about the place that he wanted to go.Then i realised that I had GPS in my car.I told that person to sit in my car and opened the map on the GPS for him.He was too old and his near-sightedness vision was also poor.He said he couldn't really read the map.Even I couldn't explain to him through that map because I usually get directions with GPS while I drive.I really wanted to help that person.So I asked him if I could drop him there but he said he had his own car.Then I decided to lead him to that place.I told him to follow my car and I dropped him exactly at the address that he gave me.When he reached the place, he came out of his car to thank me and gave me some money for gas.I refused and told him the smile on his face and the appreciation words is all that I wanted...It really feels great to bring smile on someone's face without expecting anything in return.....

I was at my office Seniors Assisted Transportation Society when a call came in from a young woman who had cancer and was unable to drive. She asked if someone could drive her to get her old cat some special cat food. She was told that we only provided driving for seniors, by our Director. I phoned her back and said that I would go pick up the cat food so I drove from downtown to Millwoods Towne Centre and then back to her house by the stadium. She offered to pay me but I refused saying "you probably need it more than I do".

My feel good experience…
I recently participated in a trade booth at the GPRC. Our booth was set up beside the Grande Prairie Transit booth and the lady that was manning that booth shared with me a story that I wanted to pass on. Two years ago she received $10 in a feel good ripple card. She had no idea what she was going to do with this money, she thought long and hard about it. She said to me “Do you know what? I’ve still got that $10!” It honestly made me feel a little sad that she couldn’t think of anything nice to do with the money. Then she smiled at me as said “I use it as a book mark and it’s a constant reminder to do an act of kindness for one person at least every month but I often try for once a week.” This really made me feel great, to think that with the $10 she had received this ripple has touched the lives of at least 23 people since she received it two years ago!

My feel Good Experience has been that for the past 3 weeks I have spent my morning break @work going to sit with an elderly friend {91 yrs.}of mine who is in the hospital.

She is so grateful for the little jesture,no matter how rough she might be feeling @ that time .Her family can't be there as much as they would like to be ,so we look forward to our morning visits.

As a volunteer for Beagle Paws, my feel good moments when I am able to help connect unwanted, abandoned or abused animals with loving homes. This is not only great for the dogs, but for the families who gain so significantly from the unconditional love, the companionship and the caring connection that can only come from the love of a special pet. My three dogs keep inspiring me to want to help others find that connection that will enrich the lives of both dog and family. This is a picture of Murray, one of my rescued dogs.

My friend's daughter was visiting Ralston when I learned that her close friend had to find refuge at a women's shelter in Edmonton. I therefore wanted to help this 'anonymous lady' to me, so I sent the feel good ripple to her by hand delivery through her friend, along with a hotpot appliance to help someone in need. The 'anonymous lady' was going to buy my hotpot and that's how I found about her demise and resulted in my actions to give it for free and the feel good ripple.

A person was begging for money in Medicine Hat near Walmart so I handed the $10 to him to make his day better. He looked as if he was a homeless guy.
If I win please donate to my charity Kids with Leukemia to a local source to Medicine Hat or in Alberta.

I collected my feel good ripple money on October 20, 2010. I passed on the money and card to a young father who had a daugheter born on October 19, 2010 in Medicine Hat Hospital. We both live in a small village on the prairies as his daughter is the newest and youngest member of the village community I asked him to used the $10 to open her a bank account with the local Servus Branch (Suffield) as the start of her savings for her future. Once the account is open her parents can then add to it and hopefiully it will be an investment for her future.

I gave my $10 to a great lady who dedicates most of her spare time to help out a local "Save Old Souls" which is a senior kamine rescue society, she used it to buy items required to help this society.
It felt good, and not very often are you given $10 by anyone, especially the bank. Thanks .

I work at a non-profit social service agency. We have a tight knit group of co-workers at my office. A few weeks ago, I complimented a co-worker on her beautiful summer blouse and told her that I really liked it. Yesterday, I found a bag on my desk with the blouse inside and a note attached saying she was "gifting" the blouse to me. I was completely surprised by her unexpected and generous gift! What a blessing to work in a caring and supportive environment!

I heard that two of my old teachers were leaving the junior high they taught me at so I went by and helped them carry their stuff into the car. It was really nice to be able to see all my teachers again and hope they continue to pass on the feel good ripple in their new schools!

I gave the feel good ripple card with the $10 to one of my co-workes who is always the first to help everyone at work. She was so surprised and in turn used the $10 to buy a treat for everyone in the office. After finding out what the program was about, other people at work did kind things for each other for no specific reason. It was a really good feeling.

An employee became a grandmother for the first time and she wanted to celebrate by buying pizza lunch for everyone at the company. I thought it was so kind of her and wanted to thank her for her kind gesture and celebrate her grandchild. I gave the $10 gift to her.
