good deeds ~ random acts of kindness

so how is everyone doing with those good deeds out there? i don't know about you, but some weeks i feel totally inspired to help other people in about a million different ways, while other weeks i
think "jilkemnr people yotreqwnoxf help tpugvbar good."  

so what do you do when you want to make the world a better place, but you're a total incoherent mess? 
don't worry, the internet has a solution for you - randomactsofkindness.org to be specific.

random acts of kindness has all sorts of ideas for do-goodery, true life tales of charity, and other kindness-focused resources to get you inspired.  so head over, get in the spirit of spreading some love, and go make a difference in someone's life today.  and who knows? maybe we'll see one of your stories on random acts of kindness one day soon, providing heaps of inspiration for some other blogger and her readers!

while we're on the topic of kindness, the mister has a job interview this morning for which we would greatly appreciate any kind thoughts you may have to spare.  he desperately needs a job, and this one would at least be in his field {which means a lot when you're searching high and low for all sorts of random jobs}.

i have also sent in an application to a real live person at an awesome residential facility thanks to the networking event this weekend.  i would love to get your good vibes sent my way today, so that this person will actually look at my resume and call me in for an interview... and then hire me!  at this point it's
easy to think nothing will come of these interviews/applications since nothing has panned out
so far, but for some reason, i'm feeling extra hopeful today.
we shall see!

  14. sending good vibes to you and your man!!!! this could be the one for BOTH of you! it could!

    lately i am trying to smile more at people. TRYING. i heard something on npr the other day -- they said happy people live longer and more healthy lives. kind of a no-brainer, but making an extra effort to be happy or to MAKE others feel more happiness seems like a good goal. some days it might be a bit of a long shot (LOL! hello MONDAYS!), but it is worth a try. :)

  16. Random acts of kindness (both engaging in and witnessing) probably make me happier than almost anything. And you know, I have a good feeling about your job hunt. Something is going to materialize soon. You are sending so many positive affirmations out there!

  17. I love RAK. I've looked at the site many times and it's been brought up at my volunteer meetings before.

    It can be hard sometimes coming up with ways to act kindly towards a stranger (especially when you don't want recognition for what you did). Keep up the good work (and good suggestions).

    Wishing you the best with the job applications!
