pay it forward...

this coming thursday...april 29th...is international pay it forward day...i think it is a fabulous concept...but of coure...just like valentines day...i don't think it should be a one day event...but something that as much as you are able...incorporate into your life...

i still remember the first time i saw the movie "pay it forward" and how it affected my life...if you haven't seen it...i highly recommend it...when my niece was writing all her essays for college acceptance...one of the essay questions was to write about a movie that had an impact on her life...i suggested she watch this movie...which she did...and ended up choosing it as her movie...it seems like a simple concept...but the trickle affect is enormous...

there has been a commercial around as well...with the pay it forward theme...i have to say...it is one of my favorite commercials...so simple...but the trickle affect is enormous...



so...international pay it forward day...what does that entail?
a day around the world where people are encouraged to do between 1 and 3 good deeds for others without expecting anything in return...

paying it forward with kindness has the potential to change the world – one good deed at a time...how fabulous is that?

over 100,000 people across 20 countries this year are involved spreading kindness...

i say...let's take it one step further...and pay it forward today...
