I was watching
Lovetown USA on the OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network), and saw a woman who left love
notes around town for others to find and brighten their day. I have always wanted to do something for our
community to help each other and perhaps bring more faith and compassion to
other people. Perhaps even to make our
city participate in our community and make it a better place.
In thinking about
this after the show ended, I really begin to think of ways I could participate
in my own way. Due to my disabilities I
am not often out and about and hardly leave my own home. But this was a way to touch people here and
there, by making them think differently.
Even changing one person, for the better would make the project even
more worthwhile.
I also thought that
I would share this journey with the world in hopes that it would be embraced
and show others how simple an idea can be that could touch so many.
I will be writing
notes with a Random of Act of Kindness card attached , asking people to perform
small steps in making our town a community once again. A few years ago our community was rocked by a
child abduction that turned to murder.
Since then I have seen people seclude themselves even more and everyone
is "Me" centered. You don't
find others willing to nod, smile or say hello anymore and I believe that
perhaps I can make a difference here and get people to think of others and
small ways to make our neighborhoods more community oriented.
I will then have G,
drive me around town to tape these notes where I know that people will find
them. As I write the notes, I will be
sharing them here with you and perhaps we will even have people who have picked
up the letters pop in and express how they took steps to change. I do hope to hear from you all, with ideas
and hopefully you will join me.
This project has
been named C.R.A.K, Community Random Acts of Kindness. My first notes will be written and
distributed this week. Look for them
this week!
Thanks for stopping
by,
Kylara
