Pay It Forward…

One of my fave movies ever, apart from Sound of Music, is Pay It Forward. The blatant effortlessness of blessing another by simple random acts of kindness leaves me feeling tingly. The notion has been tugging at my heart probably since I watched an Oprah show late last year when she gave the audience $1000 each, with explicit instructions that they were to go forth and bless another with the given money.

The concept is absolutely 2DIE4 in my mind…I’ve been toying with the idea of following suit on this venture. Not with as much magnitude as she did, but doing a few single acts of kindness for unsuspecting individuals. I’m going to challenge myself to randomly:
select at an old peoples home and spend an entire day doing some volunteer work
pay a utility bill for someone in need
go to a childrens’ home and read to them or hold a baby

At the prospect of not over-doing it (if that is even a possibility) I will stop the list where it is at with the possibility of adding to it at a later time!

Why am I making this ‘public?’ Well, because I feel that this is a great concept that many need not only know about, but be inspired by. Humanity deserves a chance at life and the myriad of blessings that we each can impose upon it…simply stupendous!
