Host of Daily Good Will with Kris Evergreen: Evergreen Echoes — sharing small kindnesses and everyday wisdom, one episode at a time.
"The light isn't for me, Kris. It's for whoever might need it." — Kris's Grandmother
I'm Kris Evergreen—host of the Daily Goodwill podcast, author of my first book Daily Goodwill: A Book of Kindness, and the voice behind Evergreen Echoes on Spurlin.FM.
If you're expecting a polished biography full of impressive credentials and remarkable achievements, I should probably warn you: that's not quite my story. My story is quieter than that. It's made up of small moments, ordinary days, and the slow realization that kindness—real, practical, everyday kindness—might be the most important thing we can practice.
If I had to sum up everything I believe in a single image, it would be my grandmother's porch light.
Not a spotlight. Not a beacon demanding attention. Just a steady glow that says: You're welcome here. There's warmth inside. You don't have to carry your burden alone.
Leave your light on. Not for recognition or reward. Not because anyone is watching. But as a quiet, consistent signal of welcome.
You can't pour from an empty cup. The way you treat yourself sets the foundation for how you treat everyone else.
Small acts, repeated daily, create the kind of change that lasts. Show up with a cup of coffee every Tuesday.
Real kindness isn't just being nice. It's noticing. Noticing what someone needs. Noticing when they're struggling.
You rarely know what someone is going through. Extending grace costs us so little and can mean so much.
On yourself. On others. On the day as it unfolds.
Not as weakness—as wisdom. The recognition that we're all doing our best with what we have. That perfection isn't the goal. That showing up imperfectly is better than not showing up at all.
A companion for the ordinary rhythm of life.
Organized by the days of the week, this book offers gentle reflections on kindness, attention, and what it means to live with care. It's not a book of grand theories or complicated techniques—just practical wisdom for ordinary days.
"A little kindness every day does more than a burst of kindness once in a while."
Available wherever books are sold.
Evergreen Echoes
Weekly reflections on kindness, attention, and what it means to live with care. Each episode explores the small moments and quiet wisdom hiding in ordinary life.
Join me for what feels like a fireside chat—warm, unhurried, and full of gentle encouragement.
Holiday songs, year-round
Why should warmth and cheer be limited to one season? Tune in to Evergreen Echoes on Spurlin.FM for holiday songs that bring comfort and joy all year long.
Because sometimes we all need a little Christmas in July.
If something I've shared has meant something to you, I'd love to hear about it. Not for the praise—though I won't pretend that isn't nice—but because connection is the whole point.
We're in this together, figuring it out as we go.
Thank you for being here. Thank you for caring enough to read this far.
Keep your porch light on.
