I am going to try and make this short and sweet because I am shoving two things in one post. I didn’t get a chance to do a Random Act of Kindness this weekend but I do have an update from last week’s Dog Rescue and PSA, the owners (really it was the wife) had asked for my address and because I don’t do well being on the spot thinking on my feet I gave it to her. I figured she just wanted to send a thank you card. I didn’t want to mention it before because I figured people would judge me for being stupid and naive but I do believe in the good of people.
Well this past week I got a thank you note and $20.00 in the mail. It was so sweet and not necessary at all since I would do it for any dog in need but the good thing is I already have my next Random Act of Kindness planned that this will go towards. Full circle, right there people!
Are you considering doing your own Act of Kindness? If not, what is stopping you? Grab a button if you would like to spread the word. The change that we seek in others has to first come from within. This year I hope you decide to Be the Change You Seek.

~ Hike a 4,000 elevation mountain – more than likely in New Hampshire
That’s great, Kerry! Our pets are family. You saved that family from a broken heart.
You have a great list! Good luck and have so much fun on your vacation!!
When you go to Boston, check groupon…maybe there’s a discounted tour.
Enjoy!!
Thank you. Just glad I could help and now it will be paid forward too. That is a great idea, thank you I will check Groupon for sure!
20 books?! You go girl! I’m already at my yearly goal half way through, so I should probably up my goal next year! Bonfire, yes – food trucks, yes – camping, yes! It sounds like you have an awesome Summer planned!
Well I do have 4 books from the library and 2 eBooks to read in the next two weeks so it was going to be 10 but I didn’t think that was fair but I think 20 is manageable. It is shaping up to be really fun! I have a lot of vacations and day trips planned already!
how wonderful! and i need to be a tourist in my town too!
You should! It is so easy to forget all the things you see everyday or don’t go to because you have your favorite places already.
Please eat lots of good food in NC and instagram it since there seems to be a lot of it there! Ooh, and I’m excited for you to be a tourist in Boston. Flights are so cheap there, I seriously just want to hop on a plane! And that is so sweet that you already have a plan for your reward money!
I will be sure to take lots of pics!! You need to get over here already!!!
That’s awesome! You’ve created a pay it forward circle. You go girl.
I mean it really had to go back to the cause or it defeats the purpose of helping! 😉
Impressive list. I am very happy just la-la-ing
Around my home since I had a rat race life
For many years! Never do I want to sleep in
A tent! Lol! Goddess speed to you to cross
Things off your list!! Love SMD’s momma
Thank you! You deserve just relaxing and enjoying this time! Haha! I love waking up to the birds chirping and the air matress helps! 😉 I know it is not for everyone though. Enjoy your birthday!!!
Love it! They didn’t have to of course, but it’s their baby! I’m sure they were beyond thankful.
They were really nice and concerned!
I will do the hike with you if you want!! And love bonfires… mostly for the ghost stories and s’mores 🙂
That would’ve awesome!!
Gotta have s’mores at least once a year!!
How sweet is that? And I love how you intend to pay it forward. It’s amazing and inspiring.
Kindness for the week… I sat down at lunch with someone who always sits by themselves, and started chatting them up. No one likes to eat alone. **HIGH SCHOOL FLASHBACKS**
Come check out my link up…
Of course, it wouldn’t be fair keeping it. That was so nice of you, it is never easy to sit alone and I am sure they were very appreciative!
That was really sweet of them to send you $20 and I love that you’re putting it towards another ROAK.
There’s always a million things I want to cram into the summer. Hope you get to check everything off your list. 🙂

I couldn’t keep it, I did it just trying to help and in the spirit of Be The Change I want it to go to others.
There is so much to see and do, even when i want to just sit on the beach but this will help me get out and explore more. 🙂
Ooohhh where in NC are you going?
I just requested to be your Goodreads friend, I can’t wait to stalk your shelves.
I am going to be in the Wake Forest and possibly Raleigh area. Yeah look forward to stalking your shelves too!!
You will be going to Raleigh, Wake Forest and Durham. Because I said so. ahahaha Yayayayayay 24 hours!
Whatever you say, oh wise one! 😉
I would have done anything to thank you if you had saved my dogs!
I love your summer bucket list!! I need to start working on my summer goals!
Helping really was reward enough for me. I think it really helps to challenge you to not just sit at the beach every weekend, though I will be doing some of that too! 😉
Girl let me know when you want to be a tourist and I’ll be your guide 🙂 You should plan on a Sunday that way you can go to SOWA and eat a food truck too haha!
That would be awesome!! You do go to some really cool places!! I will have to pick some dates and coordinate with you. 🙂
I’ve always wanted to go to North Carolina! Have fun!!
It’s funny because I have been to parts of it for my past job but it didn’t have a lot of things to do there so this will be so much more fun! I am so excited to go! Thank you!
20 books lol Im struggling to finish 1
Haha! I can’t imagine a day where I am not reading. Sometimes if a book is too serious I have to switch to a lighter read though.
How sweet to get a thank you note…and a little spending cash =) You should totally come camping with us!
It will go back into doing another Random Act of Kindness. That would be fun!
That is so nice of them to send you that money! People are just thoughtful. And your summer goals are awesome! Have fun on your vacation!
Thank you. I would glad to help return their dog, and the money will go to another Random Act of Kindness. 🙂 I am looking forward to cross a few off!! Thank you so much!
Aww! I would totally send the same thank you note if someone helped me out with the Big B. I definitely want to eat from a food truck for once … and I’m pretty sure we have some high elevations out past me in the Berkshires 😉
Thank you. Yes, I guess there will be some this weekend in North Carolina but also some in Boston on Sundays. I will have to try some out. Are you saying you want to go hiking?! As long as you promise your water won’t break mid-hike I am there!!
What a GREAT idea to use it towards your next act! LOVE IT! 😀
But of course! Gotta keeping it moving forward! 😉
How nice!
Random Acts of Kindness are the best.
Thank you. It is always nice to be able to give back!
I love that you’re paying it forward with that money. That so awesome of you!!
I can’t get with goodreads. I want to but I never seen to stick with it. Any tips? And I’d love to finally have my closet and dresser fully purged by the end of summer.
Thank you! I use the scan option a lot in goodreads. So if I am in the library or store and I don’t want to buy it or read it yet then I scan the bar code and add it to my shelf! That helps!
That was very kind of her to send a thank you note and money. There’s a lot I’d like to do this summer. Not sure I’ll get them accomplished though. Hope you achieve everything on your list, and have fun!
Thank you. Having a list really helps remember them but there are usually one or two I may not get to but goals are always go to give me a push!
It totally doesn’t surprise me that you’re using the $20 towards another random act of kindness. That’s part of what makes you so awesome.
I don’t have a summer bucket list. I don’t have any bucket list, actually. I’m excited to see how you progress on yours!
Awww thank you! I would probably just sit on the beach all summer otherwise! 😉
what a fabulous list! and i love that you’re doing the random acts of kindness. cant wait to read more!
Thanks! Can’t wait to get started crossing things off the list!
How nice is that! See? What goes around comes around. Love it! Thanks for sharing.
It really does come full circle. Thank you.
