A few years ago, I had a transition in life that provided me with a lot more free time. However, I was not utilizing that time very well. As a result, I began watching more television.

In particular, almost everyday, I would ensure that I watched the Ellen Show. Ellen DeGeneres made me laugh. Laughter is great medicine! I also enjoyed the show’s acts of kindness.

Her show inspired me to write a song titled “Just Be Kind.” I decided that I would write letters to Ellen letting her know about the song and its progress. I wrote her two letters in all. I’d hoped that just maybe, the letters would be read and I could get tickets to her show, and give Ellen the song.

I never did receive a response, but I did complete the song. Here is the digital song cover art.

It’s a country song about standing in line at a store and paying it forward for a stranger.

You can hear the entire song via this link:

Unfortunately, Ellen is going off the air so I’ll never see her show live. Perhaps a reader out there knows Ellen and will let her know about the song. You never know.

Remember, Christmas miracles do happen, and always – Just Be Kind!
