Love and Kindness Link Up


I'm so excited that today is FINALLY here and we all get to share the sweet things that we did for others! 

Of course, these posts are definitely not to brag, but more to inspire others and encourage them to do the same! It's amazing to think of how many people we could touch together. 

So go ahead and write up your post about the random acts of kindness that you did this last week, then link up with us and share! And it's not too late...the link up will be open all week for those late to the party!

Feel free to use this button in your post!

This week:

- I left a $5 bill and a sweet note on a random car in the parking lot. 

- I baked cookies for my hubby and served them to him with a big ole glass of milk!

- I called one of my friends from college, just to say hey. (I'm terrible about texting and never calling!)

- I taped a $5 bill and a sweet note to my buggy at the store.

- I wrote an encouraging note to a coworker. 

- I made an Oreo cake for my husband and the guys at the fire station. 

YUM!

I know this sounds weird...but it is seriously fun to do these little acts. I kinda felt like a secret spy Santa Claus, leaving gifts and then chuckling to myself. Love and kindness kicking butt and taking over the world. Mwwwahahaha. : ) 

My new goal is to do a random act of kindness for someone once a week! 

I can't wait to see what y'all have done...I love seeing kindness take over the blog world!

Love, love!

Megan,
5$ on a grocery cart? You are awesome! I can imagine how that must have made someone's day! Not to mention the oreo cake that probably made its way into the hearts of a whole fire station;)
Thank you for the inspiration! Just linked up and can't wait to see what everyone else came up with!

You did SO MANY random acts of kindness! I'm so proud of you! My act of kindness was leaving a bartender with a 100% tip :) And then yesterday, the person waiting behind me in line at the grocery store, bagged my groceries for me. So sweet :)

A friend of mine on facebook (a non blogger), posted today that she received 2 random acts of kindness this weekend. One person paid for her dinner last night at a restaurant & another paid for her coffee at the drive through window! She's in Nebraska- just wondered if it was someone participating in this lovely idea you girls are encouraging!!

Cat said...

Aww ... love this idea! You're right, doing things for others is so rewarding! The saying 'tis better to give than to receive is so true!

This is such a wonderful post... I can't even imagine how many smiles you made and then the more that came ten-fold. It's like ripple in a pond, I'm sure the days you made then made many more. It's amazing how good deeds are paid forward.
