Week 8
In an effort to kick start my community and by extent other individuals and communities, this week I left 7 Tim Horton’s gift cards of $3.00 each on 7 strangers vehicles. Included, was a brief message that read: “Hello there! I run a blogging project which focuses on promoting random acts of kindness in our community. I have randomly, and unknowingly selected you as today’s recipient of 1 of 7 $3.00 Tim Cards. I am hoping this will help warm your day, and maybe even inspire you to pass along a similar gesture in the future. Enjoy!”
I have hopes that this gesture and explanation will be both a warmly received gift as well as a spark to ignite some actions and succeeding chain reactions within my local community. There is the belief that we are inherently good, and although I likely will never know the results of this campaign, let alone this single act I want to believe that at least some of those people I chose this week will carry the good forward and not dismiss such a simple gesture and request.
