If dreams do come true,
then let me sleep cause my dreams
are only of you.

35 to 35
On November 20th, 2015 I decided to bring my 35th birthday in
celebrating the gift of kindness. My goal was to take the focus off
myself and place it upon doing good for others. I must say it was quite a
rewarding experience. I enjoyed every smile and thank you received. My
soul was full of gratitude.
I compromised a short list, in no specific order, of the random acts of kindness I performed. My hope is that it inspires someone else out there to give generosity a shot. It feels so much better to give than to receive.
1. Treated my coworkers to lunch.
2. Spoke with one of my patient's and reminded her of her deceased twin brother.
3. Called up a friend and sang Happy Birthday to her.
4. Donated to a kids eat free program.
5. Made and passed out several homeless survival kits.
6. Said hello and smiled to everyone that crossed my path.
7. Bought coffee for nurses.
8. Donated to the children of St. Jude's.
9. Purchased dinner for a family friend.
10. Gave compliments to random women.
11. Wished a friend safe travels before their vacation.
12. Supported a small business.
13. Called a family member just to talk.
14. Accepted my ex's phone call and allowed him to speak.
15. Called an old friend.
16. Covered a coworker's shift at the last minute.
17. Bought cookies for the fire station.
18. Supported a local artist.
19. Yielded to other drivers.
20. Held the door open for a pregnant lady with a stroller.
21. Generously tipped my waiter.
22. Treated the office to cake.
23. Picked up trash from my church's parking lot.
24. Purchased 2 book bags and filled them with supplies for children in need.
25. Liked everyone's Facebook status for a day.
26. Helped a neighbor's child with his clothing.
27. Returned my shopping carts back to the store.
28. Gave up my napkin to a lady that spilled her coffee.
29. Passed along a book of inspiration to a friend.
30. Brought each of my family members an extra Christmas gift.
31. Helped a man pick out the right vegetables for his family.
32. Took selfies with strangers.
33. Patronized local events.
34. Cleaned my mother's room.
35. Donated my clothing to charity.
Happy New Year!
