Birthday Act of Kindness cont.

I hit a bit of a delay in the birthday act of kindness. I was really good for a week, but then I realized I was not doing the acts of kindness for the right reasons. I began to see them as a chore and start slacking on the way I accomplished them. So I have instead tried to be more aware of acts of kindness I can do in my everyday life.

However, my main reason of doing the random acts of kindness was to hopefully inspire others to participate too. This dream of mine came true! I happened to place two encouraging notes on two Resident Assistants cars in the parking lot at school and they were inspired to participate in acts of kindness as well. All the Resident assistants in the apartments did random acts of kindness for their buildings and I am just so excited.

The idea of paying it forward is a beautiful idea. I hope everyone can find a way each week to serve or help someone else.

This week I leave on my next adventure to California and I am sure I will have lots to share with you! Pin It

Random Acts of Kindness Birthday Style

Since I am celebrating my 21st birthday on Tuesday and let me just say I love my birthday. Maybe it's the fact of the whole day being about me? But I also like celebrating it for the whole month, which I will admit is a little selfish. With that in mind, I decided to celebrate the whole month with it not being centered around me. I am a pintrest fanatic and I found a blog that talk about a women celebrating her 38th birthday by doing 38 Random Acts of Kindness (RAOK) on her birthday. I have decided to do that as well, but by doing a RAOK each day for 21 days. God has granted me 21 years of life and I would like to give him credit and give back to his people so on February 1st I started my RAOK list and plan to go until February 21st.

Day 1: Happy Notes on Cars
 At first I was supposed to write encouraging notes on cars, but I decided to put encouraging quotes or inspiring quotes on people's cars. My roommate and I stuck 42 (21+21) cards on random cars at school.

Day 2: Thank the Mail Center
 I believe three women work in the mail center all of the time and I know they have a tough job with trying to make sure everyone gets their mail. I wrote them thank you notes and attached candy to them and then left them randomly on the mail center counter. When I came back 5 minutes later, they were gone so I hope they enjoyed them.

Day 3: Hold the door Open for others.
