Not really random at all....

I try to look each day for inspiration.....in a poem, a Bible verse, a sunset. Some days it's harder to find than others. But tonight, it was sitting right across the table from me. When most people plan their birthdays, it's all about them. After all, they are celebrating THEIR birth so, rightly so! They plan a spa day complete with a massage and pedi, a shopping day, dinner and drinks with friends and the like. But not her.... One of my dearest besties, Janae was dreading turning thirty...well, something or other this year. Instead of doing all the things listed above and crossing yet another day off her calendar she decided to do something different. Very different. She devoted her entire birthday to doing thirty (some-odd) random acts of kindness. She took water bottles to construction workers and homeless people, she took balloons to kids at the park, she even took handmade cards to an elderly care center and children's hospital, you name it and she had her kindness all OVER IT! What an amazing example she has set for all of us to look outside ourselves for a moment and to try to do things for other people. This is not surprising though coming from her. Janae has always been one of the kindest, most caring people I have ever known. Her kindness is anything but random. JJ-I was honored to get to get to spend an evening with you to share in your special day. Thanks for sharing your heart with others at a time in your life when no one would blame you for being a little selfish. You are such an inspiration to me and all those around you. You are kind to your core and that is one of the many reasons I love you!! MUAH! Check out a recap of her day here!!
