Sharing Ideas

2009-04-18T07:06:39-06:00

I shared with someone on a plane two ideas. 1) How to share thoughts and love with their future child via email. 2) RakTrak.com

Regarding how to share thoughts and love with their child, I described how I have an email account that is set up for our 2 year old son. When our son is older and able to read, I will share the emails with him. The emails contain words of praise, love, and thoughts I want to share with him.

Regarding RakTrak.com, there was obvious excitement about RakTrak.com from this nice person after I described it to him. He said he would look it up for sure.

He thanked me with a huge smile on his face. He reiterated that he is excited about trying out those two things; emailing his future child and RakTrak.com.

A Smile

2009-06-23T13:20:32-06:00

My friend wasn’t feeling well. To help brighten her day, I made her a Feel Better card, and attached it to some pictures of her kiddo. I dropped it off at her door - anonymously. It’s not about the thanks - it’s about doing for others to help them feel better.

Maimonides’ degrees of Charities

2009-04-01T19:09:02-06:00

I recall from my days of Hebrew school the Jewish concept of Tzedekah, or charity. There are roughly 8 degrees of giving based on the teachings of Maimonides, each one greater than the next:
1-Giving to the poor unwillingly
2-Giving to the poor gladly with a smile
3-Giving to the poor after being asked
4-Giving to the poor before being asked
5-Giving to the poor you don’t know but who knows you
6-Giving to the poor who you know but does not know you
7-Giving to the poor and neither benefactor nor recipient know each other.
8-Helping a person in such a way that they are no longer in need of help.

I was drawn to this site because of this teaching long ago.
I look forward to being able to give and receive your cards in the near future.

Drive-thru Kindness

2009-01-13T23:14:31-06:00

A buddy and I were at KFC and we decided to buy the lunch of the lady behind us in the drive-thru line. We will never know how it impacted her day or even life, but it was exciting. I can’t wait until raktrak cards are available so we can quit writing about what we did, and start reading how it effected the recipients of the kindness. Try going out of your way to look for acts of kindness to do in the next couple days. Trust me, it will feel good.

Wallet Stolen and no job

2009-04-10T14:12:46-06:00

A particular person had been on my heart for a while and I felt that I should reach out to her. I walked into one of our local grocery stores and as I was finishing up there she was crying. Her wallet along with over $400 cash and her cards had been stolen from her. She is currently unemployed and her boyfriend is recovering from surgery without pay. Times are really tough for them. I went home and talked to my husband about it and I really felt like I should do something and prayed about it. I called to check on her and told her we had something for her. I met up with her and gave her a card. She was thankful and hadn’t even opened it yet. My husband and I had been blessed with a promotion and a bonus and wanted to pay it forward. We wanted to help her out so we put money in an envelope for her with a nice card. She called me in tears so thankful for what we had done. She said it meant the world to her that we would do that for them. I feel that we are the ones that have been blessed with them.

Neighbors in Need

2009-02-17T19:51:16-06:00

We had terrible rains this past week. I went outside to check on my sump pump discharge to make sure the water was actually being pumped . I noticed my next door neighbors sump hose had detached from the pipe. Water was pooling around the foundation. The sump pump was discharging every 15 seconds. The old hose had been connected with tape and was now useless. I went to the hardware store and spent $20 and bought a new hose, clamps, glue and an adapter to affix the hose to the pipe. Once back home , it was a 10 minute job to fix and the water flow soon slowed to every few minutes. The new hose and clamps should last a number of years. No one was home. I can only imagine the problems if his basement had become flooded. I did this without hesitation and no thought of a thank you or remuneration. It just seemed the right thing to do.

A few bucks at a fast food place

2009-01-24T22:56:00-06:00

I didn’t have a lot of cash on me, but I ate at a fast food place a few months ago and after buying my meal with a $10, the only cash I had on me, I sat down to eat. I soon looked around and saw a woman I thought was homeless sitting a few booths over. She was drinking a coffee and I didn’t see any food. I stayed awhile, eating my meal and reading a magazine.

I saw her refill that coffee a few times while I was there. Shucks, I only had $3 and change on me, but the last time she went to get her coffee re-filled I was ready to leave… and I dropped the $3 by her gloves and hit the exit. I glanced back as I walked by the window to see this sort of confused look on her face as she returned to her booth.

It wasn’t much, but it felt priceless and I hope she was able to get some food.

One of these days when I have some time, I hope to find someone begging for cash and take them to a fast food or sub place and buy them a meal. I bet some of these people, especially a war vet would have some great stories to tell. Besides, after all they gave for me (and the rest of this nation) what’s a few bucks?

RAK - 10th Jan

2009-01-13T08:37:38-06:00

I love this idea!!

#1 Told a woman on the tube that her shoes were amazing.
#2 Shared my taxi with a man who got off the same train as me and who didn’t have any money to get home with.

Do they count?

$20 gift card + couple with a baby = great start to 2009

2009-01-01T23:23:17-06:00

Had to get a Random Act in before the end of day 1 2009. Grabbed a $20 gift card and walked around the store until I saw someone that I thought would appreciate it. They seemed very surprised when I asked them if I could give it to them. I hope it made a difference in their day. It sure did mine.
