Pass it Forward: Be the Change


I am so excited to be sharing this with you today! I am partnering with Ashley from The Shine Project to help her spread the word about an awesome new project she has been working on to help further her passion of spreading love and kindness to others. I have been following Ashley's blog for awhile now and I can honestly say that she has a genuine heart for people. It's contagious. 

So, without further ado, I present Pass it Forward:

Pass it Forward card example

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 (see image above). Each card is given a unique ID number. Lets say we're at McDonalds, 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 the 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.

So cool, right?! One simple act multiplying into so many more! The idea is simply brilliant. I can't wait to get started with my own card and I'll be sharing what I do with it next Friday!
