Ana's Angels Random Acts of Kindness DAY 9

DAY 9

Day 9 - The unsuccessful. My situation: pay day is Friday and the past few weeks I've been paying it forward every chance I get. So I had to decide what to do for a random act of kindness with little money to spend and only about an hour of free time.

I decided to go to my local grocery store and offer to help people load groceries into their vehicles. You would not believe the weird looks and the quick "No I'm ok" that I got. I tried to briefly explain that I was doing a random acts of kindness project and very few people listened.

Living in this area my whole life, this is not the type of response I had expected. Most of us are quick to say good morning or hello, but are not able to accept help from a stranger just trying to make someones day a little easier. I was only able to help two people and they only had a few bags... I think they did it because they felt sorry for me.

So I ask you: If you had a cart full of groceries and were asked if you'd like help loading your groceries, what would you say? What is your reasoning behind it? I'd love to get some feedback on this one.

Ana's Angels Random Acts of Kindness DAY 3

DAY 3

Today I am searching for children/teenagers who may be going through a rough personal patch in their life and could use a random card for a pick me up. This can be for anyone, worldwide.  Please leave me a comment below if you know of someone that could use a "hello" or a "thinking of you" or a "you're special" card. Also - leave a way that I can contact you today. Thanks!

**UPDATE**

I have received enough requests and am hand writing special notes to each person. These cards will be sent out Saturday morning. Thank you for all of your help finding people that could use a "pick-me-up". I will post pictures when I'm finished.

Ana's Angels Random Acts of Kindness DAY 2

After getting the comment from someone who received one of Ana's Angels RAK's I felt really good. I know that I'm touching lives and that she's touching lives. It made me feel so good to know that my daughter is giving me the strength to turn my grief into something positive.

Day 2

Today will be another simple surprise day... but more-so aimed at children. I will be putting quarters on vending machines throughout the cities which I work and live in. I hope that this brightens a child's day!

Make sure to check back later for updates and pictures!!

Thank you Raebeth B - "My daughter has gone through her toys and clothes. Then we are taking them to the local donation center to donate in Ana and Dakota's name. I can take a picture of the stuff we have ready to go."

Day #23 - Tattoos and Jewelry

I have not gotten Ana’s remembrance tattoo yet. I want it to be perfect. I want to make sure that it represents her and will forever remind me (Not like I could ever forget) of my angel. I want to have something that people will ask about... something intriguing that catches the eye. When I'm ready, I will get it for her.

I have received several different pieces of jewelry that mean the world to me. Pictured first is the engraved necklace I received from my friends on Facebook's One Stop Mom Spot page. The second picture is a picture of the necklace of a heart with angel wings from my family. The third thing I got was a teardrop necklace from my mother’s co-workers. The last picture is the picture of Ana's ring (a mother's ring). I have her birthstone, my birthstone and then her father’s birthstone in it. I hold each one of these items close to my heart.
