Dear Friends,
I am leaving today for a much needed vacation. My family and I will be traveling through the wilds of Northern Minnesota, camping and backpacking. During this time, I will be taking vacation from technology, so I will not be blogging much. I do have intentions to post some photos here of our excursions, and any insights that come up for me that I feel can benefit others by sharing. I will be back in two weeks.
In September, I will be launching the Random Acts Challenge page on my blog. The Random Acts Challenge will be a month-long event designed to generate acts of kindness and compassion that have far-reaching effects. Here's how it works:
For the month of September, every person who signs up will do one selfless act for someone else. This act could be anything that brings joy to another person or animal, such as walking dogs at a local shelter, giving a gift to someone, surprising someone with a gesture of appreciation for who they are in your life, helping a neighbor, or paying for the coffee of the person behind you in line. Be creative!
To participate, simply comment to this blog post with your name and email. Beginning September 1, do at least 1 Random Act of Kindness per day and POST a comment about it to the page on this blog called Random Acts Challenge. The purpose of posting what you do is not bragging, but to inspire others and generate momentum that will encourage others to participate. It makes people happy to hear about others doing good in the world.
At the end of September, whoever participates daily by posting their comments will be given something from yours truly (material or otherwise). I won't tell you what, because then it wouldn't be random.
Let's all work together to create positive change in the lives of those around us!
Blessings,
Michelle
