I had been in my new office less than an hour when I received a delivery. I hadn’t even sat down at my desk when it arrived, and I wasn’t just surprised, I was also puzzled.

But the card revealed it was from “the Kaya Krew,” a group of friends.

A few hours later, I sent my friends an email thank you note. What I didn’t realize was that one person had sent the arrangement on behalf of the whole group, and no one else knew who that person was or that she had even sent it.

The sender has now become known as the “Kaya fairy,” and I have s feeling that she’ll be making more appearances over the next few years.

Such random acts of kindness with no expectation of recognition always make me smile.
