Whether its cupcakes, homemade cookies or just recognizing the underappreciated with a simple 'Thank You," it all makes a difference and comes back to you. Karma my friends.

What if your act of kindness plays on a stereotype? In the case of Penelope's article, she simply suggested you might want to bring cupcakes to work every once in awhile. She got a surge of angry comments on how that reinforces a negative stereotype of working women. The thread of comments is an interesting read.

This is one of the really key messages that is expressed in "Never Eat Alone." I also find it extremely cool that Jason Practices what he preaches in this regard. Not only is this blog one of the most beneficial, least self-serving blogs I have ever seen (not to mention that it helps people whent hey really need th ehelp the most)... but Jason has been great about taking me under his wing in so many ways. Crap... I gotta go before I start crying or something :) I couldn’t agree more!
