Pay it Forward
The world can seem like an unfriendly, threatening place, yet we all want safety, health, and happiness for ourselves and our loved ones. How can one ordinary person—you or me—make a positive difference in this world? One way is the practice “paying it forward.” While the steps might be simple, the outcome could change the world. ~ wikihow.com

It’s Back!
Hey, Pay it Forward Friday is back and so is a blog that’s near and dear to my heart (and bloodline): BeingMerry! For those of you who do not know, Merry is my little sister and friend. Being close in age and relation, we share a lot of the same interests, which include but are not limited to: photography, writing, and mojo-making (e.g., pushing ourselves to achieve great things—like the laundry for instance).

According to Merry, “[my blog has undergone] many iterations, with its specific focus changing over time. I now plan on using this blog as a way to share good news, the positive spin on life, and anything uplifting to add hope to our world… as Oprah would say, “Helping us live our best life.”

If you’re in the mood for a little inspiration, check out Merry’s post on performing 45 random acts of kindness on her birthday this past week. (Did I mention she’s an overachiever?) If you feel inspired, and the urge to act-out yourself, shoot her a note and let her know what you did.

Happy Friday!
