YOUR KINDNESS is MAGIC.🎩❤️But do YOU know WHY?🤔Because...Kindness Spreads!!🤗FLAT TIRE.😪 In Downtown Halifax!😵‍💫Traffic everywhere!😬🫢🙄 Heading to perform Magic for seniors...GET THIS: TWO HOMELESS GUYS (!) came to the rescue!🦸‍♂️🦸‍♂️They helped me get the spare on in just 15 minutes. Learned their situation when asking where they lived: "In that TENT over there!"😮(!!)Humbling.😔😑The mill in their small Newfoundland hometown closed, laying off thousands, forcing them here. Still, they steadfastly REFUSED ANY MONEY (!!) for their help! Insisted (of course), and gave 'em each $20 bucks. Best dough I ever spent.🥰👍(Seems we have a serious housing crisis, but luckily not a Kindness Krisis...)🤔👍The spare could at least get me to a garage...but what shop would be open with the long holiday weekend?🫢Let alone have the right type o' tire?🫨 Enter longtime friend Jamie Dean and the Titanic Team at Dean & Son's Auto (aka "The Best Around")...they motored with their own Magic, and got the Magic Mobile a wheel!🚗⚡️👍Had to call the seniors home, explaining that for the FIRST time in 25 years of performing...that now I couldn't make the show on time.😢Very apologetic. Even more kindness then shown: they were VERY understanding!😇Side note: Literally, a MINUTE before the flat tire, received a dealership call: "David, your NEW CAR you ordered will be ready NEXT WEEK!" (Oh, the timing...maybe the old tire decided to burst in protest??)😋Finally made the show. Performed for a wonderful group of amazing seniors.🥰 Buoyed by the benevolence afforded by so many others, the energy was pure JOY!🤗Got to meet and talk with everyone. Many said it made their year.🥰For a few brief shining hours, we were all children again.🪄✨️👶🎩👍All this only possible through a series of kind acts.⭐️Your kindness creates ripples.🌊 Your kindness snowballs.❄️ Your kindness is MAGIC.🎩❤️👍 When Life gives you flat tires, make the Hope in Your Soul your spare. And know that often, the kindness of others will Magically help you change into it.🚗🤗❤️👍 ... See MoreSee Less
