RAOK August 6: Smile!

Today, flowers will deliver to a friend of a friend...

Who could use a smile.

I sent them anonymously, with a little note:

ROAK August 5: Breast Cancer Survivor

I have a friend who is a Breast Cancer Survivor...

I found these bracelets in Chicago, and thought of her.

One says "Find a Cure" and one says "Celebrate - Survivor"

I put them in the mail to her today :)

RAOK August 4: Pool Toys!

I found this idea on Pinterest...

And thought it would be great for my parents backyard...

The bin took me a few tries, but I finally found exactly what I wanted... and I ordered the letters on Etsy - they are weatherproof for outside...

Tada...

RAOK August 3: Battling Brain Cancer

When I asked people if they who knew of someone that could use cheering up, or a Random Act of Kindness...

One of the responses I got was from my friend Jen (AKA Shoes).

She has a friend battling Brain Cancer.

Today, I shipped an anonymous package to her.

Its a gray ribbon bracelet where proceeds of my purchase went towards curing brain cancer, and a Chicken Soup for the Soul book.

I was bummed I had to put a city on the return address, the post office is so picky...  :)

RAOK August 2: Welcome To Your New Home

This is one of those RAOK's that made me nervous.

I hate being sneaky!

I left my house for work this morning at 5:45am...

Walked over to the apartment a couple down from me, where someone just moved in two weekends ago.

Their setup has a gate leading to their front porch then door.

I leaned over the gate... it made a huge noise, and then my alarm for normal days of work started going off... full blast of course.

I dropped the RAOK bag inside their gate, and ran  :)

I put together just a small little bag of things, welcoming them to their new home.

RAOK August 1: Adopt a Soldier

August 1st:

I joined the "Adopt a Soldier" program, and was assigned a soldier in Afghanistan.

Today, I wrote a letter saying thanks, and asking what sort of items they would like to receive in a care package.

If you are interested in adopting a soldier, here is the link:

It took a few days for me to hear back, and get approved and receive my soldiers information.

RAOK August... Im BAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!

August will be another Random Act of Kindness MONTH!

Starting tomorrow....

Are you ready?  :)

I have some fun ones planned!
