YOU'VE BEEN RAK'D!!!

Dear Harper,

Last year I decided that your birthday would become my Random Act of Kindness day. I always do small things throughout the year but I try exceptionally hard on your birthday. The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention. Your birthday is this Friday so that means the world should be prepared to be RAK'd.

Last year, your dad and I took it throughout the online gaming community that we were a part of. It was infectious. The people we shared the idea with took it even further than we could have ever dreamed and passed the message and your name along. Asking everyone, posting on their facebooks, emailing and texting asking everyone they knew to commit a random act of kindness. ALL FOR YOU.  Who knows how many random acts were committed last year all in your name.

Baby girl you are doing amazing things from where you are. You blow my mind everyday in every way. Some how you manage to dip your finger into everything we do. You are changing the world one person at a time. Enlightening hearts and sending spirits soaring. Let's see how we can RAK it up this year!

I love you Bean!

Love Mommy

For all my readers and followers, Look below for some ideas on how to RAK it up. A RAK doesn't have to cost money, it can be as simple as a hello or a hug. I have attached a printable sheet of RAK cards to hand out when you do something.

• Say hello to someone
• Tape quarters to the candy machines at the grocery store and place a card that says YOU"VE BEEN RAK'D. 
• Hold the door for someone
• Go to a nursing home and spend some time with the people who live there
• Help someone who's car is broken down
• Help someone with yard work
• Read to kids at the library
• Let someone have your place in line
• Pick up trash at the park
• Make a new friend
• Make someone smile
• Buy the person in line behind you's coffee or meal
• Write a letter to someone who inspired you
• Visit the animal shelter
