Random Act Wednesday: Week 3

8/3/2011

4 Comments

 
Hi Friends,

Happy Wednesday! I am currently hanging out in St. John's, Newfoundland. Today is their Regatta day (a holiday) so I have taken the day off volunteering and am going to explore...but of course today is a day for kindness, too!

Last week(ends) card was #23 - "The next time you tip someone, be overly generous. It'll make their day"- which was a fun one to complete. I left a little note & tip of thanks at the Jumping Bean Cafe here in St. John's! I also got some cute stories sent to me, including one from John & Arlene (the winners of this week) who left a tip for their server Coady at an Italian restaurant in Maple, Ontario. He did a cartwheel!!! Hahaha. Made me smile! My folks also took part and did the random act at the Sunnyside Grill in Oakville, one of their favourite spots. Check out the photos....
This week I blindly chose #11 out of the Boom Boom Cards pouch:
"Write a knock-knock or silly joke on a sticky note and put it on a co-workers desk, or as a bookmark in a book, on someone's front door, etc"

I love it! It's easy, cost effective and who doesn't love to make people laugh?! I will definitely be taking advantage of this today, and you should too!!

As always, if you tell me about your random act of kindness experience on my facebook page, twitter (#randomactwed), this blog, or through e-mail - you can win a little gift of thanks from Roadtrip with Reason for being kind!  Don't forget to also input it on www.boomboomcards.com (the tracking # is UABPG8Q) so that we can see the location of these acts on the map. 

That's it from me! Happy, happy Wednesday.

Go be kind.....and funny!

Warmly,
Becky xo

I oddly had something very similar happen to me today! I have this large Shakespeare book that I read at work and today I found a 2 year old sticky note in it with a nice message from a friend. It made my day - I'll definitely be leaving a joke somewhere today.

    What is this?

    Welcome! My name is Becky. I took a roadtrip across Canada, from July to November 2011. This roadtrip was a special one though, because it had reason!

    Go through my blog history to catch up on my 4-month cross-Canada roadtrip where I supported small non-profit organizations and explored the idea of volunteerism. It was so inspiring, life changing and so much FUN...
