"Pay It Forward" Fun

"Paying it back" is an obligation.
"Paying it forward" is to give because you want to.

Finding this opportunity on a friend's blog was so neat this morning. As I was discussing the movie by the very same title with my Dad just last night. Now tell me that it was a coincidence. NOT! Several blogs that I follow have posted opportunities to share with other women on their blogs over the past few months. Being as busy as I am most of the time, I can't keep up date with my reading of them and miss out on the challenges, drawings, games, etc. Not so today, I slipped into the number 3 spot at Sunny's place . (I hope my link works as it is the first one I have tried to do.)

Here is what "Pay it Forward" is all about. I If you want to join in the fun, just leave a comment saying you'd like to be included. The first three people to do so will receive a gift from me sometime during the next year. In turn, they will post a Pay It Forward post on their blog and send a gift to three people who agree to participate. You never know when the gift will arrive in the mail. It could be next week or next year. It promises to be a lot of fun trying to find out what people like so you can send an appropriate Pay It Forward gift. It can be bought or handmade and doesn't need to be expensive at all. I am sure that if I follow my heart, your gift will arrive on just the day that you need a dose of fun and encouragement. So who is up for it?

Just:

1. be one of the first three names to post a comment on this page
2. then post the guidlines of how to play & the "pay it forward" button on your blog
3. commit to choose 3 to gift within ONE YEAR (now don't forget!)
4. sit back and wait for your smile to come in the mail.

Easy!

I can't wait to see who will be the 3 to take part in this fun friendship game. If we keep paying it forward there is no limit to how far this can reach in the lives of women around the world.

I think pay it forward is a great idea and I would really like to participate. I can think of several things that I would like to send out as my way of sharing a part of my world.
