I'm not participating in High Five for Friday today (sad, I know), BUT I have 2 things that I think you guys are gonna love. The first is my guest post over at Life as Twiggy will be up today so definitely go check that out! The post was supposed to go up yesterday (which is why I mentioned it in my post) but life happens :) Anyway, go check out Celeste's blog, read my post (it's a wanna be DIY/mini encouraging project), and show her some blog love :)
And #2...
Today, I am so extremely, incredibly, absolutely (do you get how excited I am?!) stoked to share with you a project that Ashley over at The Shine Project is launching that I know is going to impact so many people :)
The Shine Project is one of my favorite blogs!
It is so inspiring & Ashley has the biggest heart.
So of course I'm really honored to be one of the bloggers helping her launch
Pass It Forward!
What it is:
[via Ashley]
"Pass It Forward was designed to get people to do little things, everyday, that makes an impact on the community around them. Pass It Forward is designed around a card:
Each card is given a unique ID number. Lets say we're at McDonalds, and I decide to pay for the person behind me in the drive through. I'd give the cashier the card, and tell them to pass it along to the next car when the give them the food that has been paid for. I then go home and log into the website that was on the card, and find my unique ID number. I log into it, and add my information... my first name, city, and a description of what I did. Let's say the person behind me was you, you would pass it forward to someone else, and then would go home and do the same thing.
From the very beginning, you will be able to track where your card goes, and how many people you affect just by doing one simple act of kindness.
This project has the potential of working small miracles in the lives of those we pass, and we will then be able to see how far one simple act can go. I want to spread the shine community into something that is in every city, so that we can get more projects done and change more lives... I have strongly felt like this is a big way that will get accomplished."
UMMM is it just me or does this mesh perfectly with some of the Smell the Roses tasks?!
Which is one of the reasons why I am SO on board with this project!
Ashley is sending me a Pass It Forward card in the mail, and I can't wait to get my hands on it and go out and start changing the world!
I know how inspired you are from hearing about this little idea and that you want nothing more than to help however you can...right?!
WELL... For full details on Pass It Forward head on over to The Shine Project :)
And Pass It Forward has a website dedicated to it which you can visit here. (Make sure you have your pop up blockers turned off!)
And in case I haven't hold you guys lately...
I appreciate every single one of you! You all inspire me more than you know :) Keep doing what you do! And always remember... you are beautiful, you are talented, you are strong!
And I mean that :)
