Pay It Forward

We just finished watching "Pay It Forward" in theology in film class. It is essentially about a young boy who responds to an assignment by coming up with the idea to do good deeds simply to make the world a better place. From this simple and slightly idealistic concept, he starts a movement that spreads like wildfire across the country. The idea was uncomplicated: do three good deeds for three different people and then they would in turn do three good deeds for three other people until the number of people paying it forward increases exponentially. but the catch is, those good deeds have to be BIG things. things that person couldn't do on their own.
quite an idea, eh?
dearest readers, this week I challenge you to pay it forward. do something kind. do something unexpected, even if that just means letting someone cut in front of you in traffic. whether it be big or small, well that is up to you  my friends. because you never know how much of an impact one person has until you see it in action.
and please keep me posted, I'd love to hear about how you are changing the world.
