I would like for you to meet Robyn. Almost exactly two years ago, Robyn turned 38 and had the super amazing, inspired idea to complete 38 random acts of kindness on her birthday - one for each year of her life. What a thought! What a day! And what a way to teach an invaluable lesson to her children!
Her RAOK's included things as simple as feeding parking meters, and handing out candy and balloons to children, to paying people's tolls and writing handwritten thank you notes. You may have already heard her story, as her blog post about this day was the "post heard 'round the world." The response she has gotten to this story is unbelievable. She has inspired MANY (including me) to do similar acts. You can read all about her day HERE.
I started out reading it just for curiosity, which then turned to inspiration, which eventually became full-on bawling. Yep, you will want to have the Kleenex ready - it's rather touching. Way to go, Robyn! It's amazing how Robyn's one day of RAOK have had such a ripplin' effect. What will YOU do to inspire others today? I challenge you to do just ONE random act of kindness TODAY.
