Let's take a selfie!

I'm not big on selfies but this Pinterest challenge was fun. I just took one selfie every day for 30 days. As you can see most were either at work or on the back deck in my pjs or workout clothes.

Spreading Birthday Kindness

I like my birthday to be a huge celebration every year and definitely more than just one day of festivities! This year, I started celebrating on Saturday and I haven't determined an end date yet but I want to do something different for this birthday. I want to make my birthday not just about me, so I'm going to do "25 Days of Random Acts of Kindness." In honor of my age of course. Honestly, I will be doing my correct age whatever that maybe be, which you can see below. Here is my list (in no particular order) of what I plan to do during the course of the next few weeks starting tomorrow. Let me know if you would like to be the recipient of one of my random acts of kindness and you just might be!


1. Pray for a friend or family member.
2. Arrive on time.
3. Ask if I can help.
4. Bake a treat for someone.
5. Buy school supplies to donate to an organization having a school supplies collection drive.
6. Donate to the food bank.
7. Hide money at the Dollar Store.
8. Hold the door for someone.
9. Leave a generous tip.
10. Leave a positive comment on a blog or website.
11. Make a bird feeder.
12. Make a homemade card and send it to someone.
13. Send a note of appreciation to someone.
14. Send a surprise package to someone.
15. Smile.
16. Use less plastic.
17. Write a thank you note to someone.
18. Write a letter to someone who made a difference in your life.
19. Write a letter to an elderly relative.
20. Make a take what you need sign and hang some place random.
21. Share a feel good playlist.
22. Leave a nice note for Dennis.
23. Bring treats to the office.
24. Put cart(s) away left in parking lot.
25. Pay a friend's tab.
26. Say "I'm sorry."
27. Make a donation to a charity I support.
28. Donate books.
29. Write a letter to a former school teacher.
30. Be proud of myself.
31. Hug someone.

My list could be a lot better but I have to keep my budget in mind. I'm excited to make my birthday not just about me but others as well. I will post at the of my journey with my progress!

So, happy birthday me and now I will return some love through random acts of kindness!
