With Verve for YOU!
This time I opted for complete anonymity.
I bought a gift card at Verve (local coffee & tea house), and asked the barista to please hand off to the next "spent" looking person, that person who looked like they could use a totally unexpected act of kindness.
Hope your day was brightened stranger!
Boom Boom!

Chalk Street Smarts!
My kids elementary school is on a little hill, so the routine for many families is to park across the street and walk up the hill to drop off their kids. This means a whole bunch of people walk past this one block of homes everyday (in the morning and afternoon). One house often times has wonderful sayings or drawings on their sidewalk done in colorful chalk that we all get to enjoy.
This first week back in school after winter break, the messages were very Boom Boom! Over the week I've heard many kids and parents talking about the messages. Yesterday afternoon my kids and I got in the car talking about the power of a simple smile. Truly there's so much power in it. We discussed how it feels in your own body as well as how it affects the one you're smiling at. Good stuff!
So a hearty Boom Boom! and Thank You to the family that takes the time to make the world a better place. A wonderful example of how a small act can have a big impact.
p.s.
I'm going to leave a Family Deck of Boom Boom! Cards on their doorstep this afternoon. They seem like the perfect fit to join us in the Revolution!
Boom Boom!

Awesome Sauce!
Giving a huge shout out to my husband. He's kind, patient, smart, the best Dad (seriously, our kids are lucky!), a wonderful & infectious laugh, and is gorgeous. Thanks again for all you do.

A cat on my lap
Mingus has no idea that he's such a big participant of the revolution. Every morning as I sit and plan my day, he curls on my lap and purrs.
Thanks for the love Mingus. Such a great start to my day.

Generosity Day - an Epic Everyday Boom Boom!
Today I stumbled upon Fast Company's article "<a href="http://www.fastcompany.com/1727145/re-booting-valentine-s-day-for-good"><strong>Re-booting Valentine's Day for Good</strong></a>". I then went on to read about Sasha Dichter's one month generosity experiment where he said YES to every request for a month. Wow!
And now he's started <a href="https://sashadichter.wordpress.com/2011/02/14/generosity-day/"><strong>Generosity Day</strong></a>
