The Mission




Well, 2012 brought us enough tragedy and heartache for a lifetime (and sadly that's still an understatement). I wasn't terribly shocked when 12/21 came and went and we were all still here. But by the time New Years rolled around I was still hoping for some change. So, my New Years Resolution: To complete at least one random act of kindness every day for a year. And so, I present to you a beam of hope from my little corner of the internet. Here is a running list of 365 random acts of kindness for 2013. Some of these may be a little ambitious but most of them are things you could easily do every day. This blog is not for any sort of attention or recognition and any hate or nay saying will not be tolerated. My simple hope is that this blog inspires other people to look at the world around them and help make it a better place for all of us.

Day Nine

So, today I went to the store to pick up a few things. You know those little cans that non-profits and charities leave at the checkouts? Today my random act of kindness was to donate my $0.66 worth of change to the Make-a-Wish foundation. I know that donating your change is just a small simple act but over time it makes a difference.


 What if everyone who went to the store today donated their change to the donation can? Let's do a little math here. Say the average amount of coinage a person gets back is $0.45 and say the store does ... ehh, lets call it 2000 transactions in a day. Thats $900 freaking bucks! Just something to think about. Maybe you'll let your change do some good today instead of it scuffing up the inside of your dryer.
