36 Acts of Birthday Kindness

My birthday motto: The best way to celebrate another year is to share kindness with others. 
Much like last year's 35 Acts of Birthday Kindness (<---- link="" p="">
We added a few more friends to the bunch and tried to change up the random acts of kindness.
Always a good way to grow older!

About a week after my birthday kindness day, I was the recipient of a random act of kindness (RAOK). Someone saw the writing on my van about 36 acts of kindness and stuck a very sweet note with gift in my window. I'm going to put it away with my other 101 things in 1001 days envelopes and open in 2017. It will be a fun reminder of this day!

  2. This is so amazing!! I remember seeing that photo of you buying the movie tickets for that sweet older couple on IG. These are such amazing ideas, and I want to do this for my husband's birthday this year - it'll be his big 3-0!

  4. This is amazing, you are amazing!! I used to work at Macy's and was the one that had to go around the juniors department and make sure no clothes were on the floor, the racks were nice and neat, etc. So the fact that you are doing that willingly is awesome. Because I worked it, I do it all the time when we go shopping.

  5. We did this for my best friends 39th birthday and it was so fun! Started a tradition too and each year I try to make a donation in the amount of her years to one of her favorite charities. It really is so much more fun giving than receiving...best gift ever. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
