On this post I will be stealing a post that was made by my sister, Chrissy George. March 8 we will celebrate Stephanie Phillips birthday. Since the day she passed away my family and others have done our best to make sure she will always be remembered and that her birthday will always be a happy day for her two little boys. My sister read a blog about a girl who turned 30 and instead of being down about turning 30 she decided to do 30 random acts of kindness. So my sister started what I am calling the 38 Moments Campaign. Here is what Chrissy wrote:
"So here is my challenge to you. I am going to spend Thursday March 8, 2012 spreading the love. I vow to have 38 momentsin that day that belong to someone other than myself. 38 moments where I will return the love to the community that we received in our time of trial. 38 moments dedicated TO someone else in HONOR of her. I KNOW you are all up to the challenge. Anyone can participate from anywhere. It can be anything from holding a door, to paying for someone's meal. A plate of cookies in the teacher's lounge at your child's school or a visit to a nursing home. Call someone who needs cheering up. Ask the bank teller how his or her day is...and listen. It doesn't have to involve money, but if you have extra to spare...buy a handful of $5 gas cards and hand them out with sweet notes. Make a special breakfast for your family. Slip a little surprise in lunches or backpacks before you send them out the door. Volunteer somewhere. How fun would it be to hand out lollipops at the DMV while people wait? This may challenge many of us to step outside their comfort zones...but again, I think we are up for that challenge!!"
