My dear friend Alyssa posted this: "To start this year off in a loving way I'm participating in the "Pay-it-Forward Initiative" - The first five people who comment on this status with "I'm in" will receive a surprise from me at some point in this calendar year- anything from a book, a ticket, a visit, something home-grown or made, a postcard, absolutely any surprise! There will be no warning and it will happen when the mood comes over me and I find something that I believe would suit you and make you happy. These five people must make the same offer in their FB status and distribute their own joy. Simply copy this text onto your profile, (don't share) so we can form a web of connection and kindness. Let's do more nice and loving things for each other in 2014, without any reason other than to make each other smile and show that we think of each other."
Naturally, I'm in and posted it to my status. I have 7 replies, and i'm an overachiever, so I'll do it, and i'm going to post pictures of the gifts/things/stuff i'll be sending to my six...which I'm upping to 8 because reasons. My six are:
1. Alyssa, the friend who posted it because I feel like we should reconnect and this is perfect.
2. Dana, a friend from church who actually expects an honest answer when she asks how I am.
3. Joann, an older lady from church who I'm kind of surprised commented.
4. Katie-Beth, a teen I also know from church who probably could use some extra love.
5. Lindsey, my cousin.
6. Heather, a friend from high school
7. Stephanie, a friend from church camp and a military wife.
8. Elaine, a former teacher/drama coach.
Just added: Debbie, a friend of mom's from church who named mom the legal guardian of her girls when they were teenagers (they're older than me).
So that's the thing, I have a couple of ideas on about three of them, the others I'm just lost on, but I Have a year to do it!
