The Shine Project: Pass It Forward

Today, I am super excited to share the new project called Pass It Forward. Ashley from The Shine Project has been working on this for months and is finally ready to share it with the world! This project is amazing! It has the potential to help so many people and spread the shine.

Here's a brief explanation from Ashley herself:
 "Pass It Forward was designed to get people to do little things, everyday, that makes an impact on the community around them. Pass it Forward is designed around a card. Each card is given a unique ID number. Lets say we're at McDonald's, and I decide to pay for the person behind me in the drive through. I'd give the cashier the card, and tell them to pass it along to the next car when they give them the food that has been paid for. I then go home and log into the website that was on the card, and find my unique ID number. I log into it, and add my information... My first name, city, and a description of what I did....Let's say the person behind me was you, you would pass it forward to someone else, and then would go home and do the same thing.

From the very beginning, you will be able to track where your card goes, and how many people you affect just by doing one simple act of kindness.

 This project had the potential of working small miracles in the lives of those we pass, and we will then be able to see how far one simple act can go. I want to spread the shine community into something that is in every city, so that we can get more projects done and change more lives... I have strongly felt like this is a big way that will get accomplished."

How amazing right?
I am so excited to take part in this project! I can't wait to get my card so I can pass it forward and watch all the random acts of kindness happen.

You too?! So many of my daily faves had this post today, and that is so exciting! I guess it means I'm *almost* in the cool club. ;-) I love this movement, and I can't wait to buy a pack of 10 cards!

Happy weekend, Lisa!
