In celebration of the Digital HD and Blu-ray release of Disney’s Cinderella on September 15. Walt Disney Studios is proud to announce the A Million Words of Kindness Campaign. I have always taught my daughters to always be kind and considerate to others because you don’t know their story and what that person is going through.
A kind gesture can really brighten up a person’s day and the world needs more of that.
Inspired by the spirit of Cinderella. This online initiative invites fans everywhere to pledge their commitment to being courageous and kind. In the hopes of achieving “A Million Words of Kindness” in time for World Kindness Day on November 13th.
In the film Cinderella, Ella is told by her mother, Where there is kindness, there is goodness; and where there is goodness, there is magic. Now families everywhere can create this magic themselves by submitting words of courage and kindness at Cinderella Kindness.
Use the hashtags #Cinderella and #bekind or the handle @Cinderellamovie. These kind words and their entrant’s names will then appear on the site’s interactive “Kindness Wall.”
About Disney’s Cinderella:
Celebrate Disney’s Cinderella, a modern classic that shines with beauty, imagination…and magic! Despite being mistreated by her stepmother and stepsisters. A spirited Ella resolves to take charge of her fate. Add a royal ball, a Fairy Godmother, and a glass slipper, and suddenly magic becomes reality!
My kids were very excited when the delivery guy dropped off Disney’s new Cinderella movie. They found that the movie was unique enough to make it a fun and new story for them to enjoy. Of course, they also were totally thrilled to learn that it also included the Frozen Fever short, as an extra on the DVD as well.

We were just traveling in New York and when we were at Coney Island I found an iPhone in the bathroom – someone had left it on the toilet paper dispenser in the stall. I knew that it was possible that the person would come back to look for it there, so I considered leaving it there in case she retraced her steps, but I also knew it was possible that someone else might find it before the owner and steal it. So I took it and tried to find a family member to call in her phone book, but unfortunately everything was in Spanish, which I don’t understand. We were on our way to turn it in to the police, since we saw many patrolling the area, when the phone started ringing. It was the owner’s husband, and we met on the boardwalk to confirm identity and return the phone to his wife. She was very happy to get it back, and was glad that an honest person had found it. It was nice to meet a thankful person and her family.

There’s so many things I’ve done for others as it’s part of my life growing up. My family in the Philippines e-mailed and texted to let me know how much they appreciated the gifts I’d sent them over from Canada. My sister loved the shoes she’d asked for. Whenever I receive something that I cannot use, I set it aside to send over to them or to give away to someone in Toronto. At Christmas, I pack a shoebox for Operation Christmas Child. I also give food to the homeless in Toronto when I have a snack in my bag.
