on April 20th, please perform an act of kindness…

I need a favor from all of you. It’s an easy one though. I am asking that you perform an act of kindness tomorrow for another person. See, told you it was easy.  You might be wondering why I decided to take a detour from my normal writing posts to ask this weird favor.

Well, I explain it fully in this article, but to give you the condensed version, I was pregnant with a much wanted pregnancy. Much to my heartbreak, we had to end the pregnancy on April 20, 2007. A year later I thought of a way to honor that child. I asked some friends and family to do a random act of kindness and love on April 20th. It helped me deal with the anniversary knowing that good was happening in the world. Plus, I hoped that my baby could feel the love all the way in Heaven.

It doesn’t have to be a huge gesture. Just something kind for another person.

Thanks for the help!

    I will do it!
    How sad that we get so caught up in the every day stuff that we need a reminder to do something nice.
    But how wonderful that you are strong enough and special enough to take your pain and turn it into an inspiration for everyone else. Thank you.
