I want to recommend to you a wonderful movement based on a wonderful concept. April 4 will be Pay It Forward Day. This event is the brainchild of Blake Beattie and is worthy of our support. Besides, it might even be fun. Some of Blake’s thoughts are below, but I recommend you visit www.payitforwardday.com and learn more, put it in your calendar … even start early and perform a random act of kindness today!

Great work Blake! 

A message from Blake Beattie (Pay It Forward Day Founder)

‘Pay it Forward Day’ is a brilliant concept by Catherine Ryan Hyde from her book of the same title. Some people were originally quite sceptical of the whole idea: they said that it was good in theory, but not in practise. I challenged this point of view believing that people are genuinely giving by nature, but many get caught up in the hustle and bustle of every day life. April 4 is a time when each of us can get to experience the ‘Power of Giving’ and the ripple effect begins.
