Today is… Touch-A-Heart Tuesday
Touch-A-Heart Tuesday is a day to take the opportunity to show kindness to others. The day’s creator, Lorraine Jara, says to put a little love in your heart and that love is eternal and goes a long way. The day is part of Be Kind to Humankind Week, which is “a celebration of people and the kind acts that they perform all across the globe.” Jara created the week in 1988 after reading a story about two young men in her town of Toms River, New Jersey, who had flipped over in a rowboat. Two ladies from another boat pulled them out of the cold water, but their boat was not motorized and they didn’t have a radio to call for help. Two boats with radio antennas passed and did not stop to help. A person from one of those boats apparently even said, “We don’t want to be bothered.” One of the two boaters who had fallen in the water ended up dying. Jara was devastated by what had happened in her town and wanted to honor the memory of the deceased man, so she started Be Kind to Humankind Week.
