I am so excited to be getting my Acts of Kindness underway. All of your comments and encouragement last week was so appreciated and really touched my heart. Helping others is really something that I enjoy doing. You may have noticed I added a new page up top that talks a little bit of how this came to be and also the button will be there, in case you want to do a post as well.
So I promise to do better with the photos next time. I forgot tape so I had to get some from their customer service. It was also REALLY hard to take a discreet photo before anyone walked by. So it may not be pretty but the thought is what counts, right?!Work with me people! 😉
I used a blank template from here and added my own text. I am still working on getting my template to work but I will provide a link to it once its ready.
I walked away like a thief in the night. I hope it goes to someone who really enjoyed it, but if not I still really feel good about doing it.
Grab a button if you would like as well 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.

You are a great person!!! I would totally be that person though that didn’t come prepared and have to scour around for tape or something to stick it on the machine.
Kerry says
I actually got some really cute leopard duck tape from my Influenster box so I am going to put that in my purse so I don’t forget next time! Such an Ooops moment! Haha!
Ashley says
This is awesome! Helping others is something that I really enjoy too. I always love seeing the smile on people’s faces when you do something unexpected for them. During Christmas time my fiance and I went around passing our homemade Christmas cookies and chocolates to homeless people that were sitting out in the cold on the city streets of Toronto. I needed this reminder today. Very inspiring! I’m going to make sure I pay for the person in line behind me at Starbucks today or something.
Kerry says
Thank you! That was so nice of you, and I am sure they really appreciated the cookies and chocolates! I know the person behind you in Starbucks would love it and could totally make them pay it forward! 🙂
Stephanie says
Ooo so sneaky and smart! I love it, nicely done.
Kerry says
Thank you! It was stressful trying to be sneaky, but it happened. No spy jobs for me! Haha!
Angi Solle says

Amanda says
Love it! This is going to be fun. Last week I bought a gift off a random Target baby registry. I just typed in a name and sent someone named Anna Lee some baby clothes!
Kerry says
That is so nice! I am sure she will be so touched by the thought and the gift! You are awesome!
brandi says
You are so sweet! It’s amazing how just a little kindness can go a long way! Mike bought the car behind us their coffee the other day at Starbucks (in the drive thru) & I thought I’ve always wanted to do that too lol!! I’d be so happy if someone did that for me, why not pay it forward 😉
Kerry says
Thank you! Yes, it can really brightens someone’s day. That was so sweet of Mike to do!
Detroit Duchess says
This is SO awesome!! Thanks for the template; I am definitely going to implement this as part of my Be the Best You Series.
Kerry says
Can’t wait to read about your series as well!
Stacia says
This is really awesome! I might do this one because everyone in our town rents from Redbox instead of driving 45 minutes to the theater.
Kerry says
It would be perfect for your town then! It is sure to make someone’s day!
