There are a couple 'Pay It Forward' days, so the one I noticed on Facebook for today might not be the 'official' one, but no worries, it's okay to do kind deeds as often as possible!
OF COURSE.... if you are a Reiki practitioner it would be a wonderful idea to give or send Reiki to as many people as you can who are willing to accept it, but if you aren't going to be in contact with anyone in particular today, or don't have the time to do multiple sessions like that, you can always just send Reiki for world peace or to a situation of tragedy, maybe something you hear on t.v. or read in the news today.
There are lots of other ways to offer kindness:
*Buy someone a cup a coffee, and if you patronize Starbucks today, they will donate .05 per drink sold to World Aids Day, which is also today! And they have a Red program if you are interested in other ways to help the cause.
*If you are eating out somewhere, and the service is very good or excellent, ask to speak to the manager and tell them you appreciate your server and their hard work! And if you can afford it, leave a little extra tip!
*Hold a door open for someone, and smile as you do it.
*Call someone you love and tell them!
It doesn't have to cost alot of money to do a few good deeds. Sure, it would be awesome if you could afford to do something financially for someone, make a donation, buy an item that a person really needs, some groceries or gas, etc. but the point is ... those random acts of kindness no matter how big or small have value and go a long way!
Yesterday, I was in a craft store and I heard the woman ahead of me in line say something about forgetting her coupon. I had some with me and offered them to her. She really appreciated it. Such a small thing, but it made her happy and it made me happy. Win/Win!!! Maybe she went on about her day and did something nice for someone else. That's the ripple effect! Imagine how wonderful it would be if that was happening all over the planet every day! It starts with you... with me....
together we can make a difference don't you think?!

Excellent post, M!
And you are soooooo right in saying...
"It doesn't have to cost alot of money to do a few good deeds. Those random acts of kindness no matter how big or small have value and go a long way!"
You said it!
Yes, I purchased some coffee at Starbucks today. Also, I think MAC cosmetics was doing the same thing, donating part of the sale to World Aids Day!
LOVE what you did for the woman at the craft store! Way to do, my friend!
Hope you had a super day!

Thanks for stopping by, Ron. Seems I've gotten a little behind at my blog again... surprise surprise. haha
Always nice to try and give a little in some way. We all do what we can.
