The Shine Project: Pass it Forward

Hi readers! Today we have something special going on over here on ABCDE today. Do you know Ashley from The Shine Project? No, well you should. She is one amazing lady. Seriously, she is such an example to me on how to be a better person. Haven't read her blog. Then you totally should. Read all about her giving back here. 

Last week Ashley tweeted that she needed some bloggers to spread the word of the new secret project and I volunteered. I am so excited to share it with you all. Ok, now to the good stuff! 


The secret project is called: Pass it Forward.

"Pass It Forward was designed to get people to do little things, everyday, that makes an impact on the community around them. Pass it Forward is designed around a card (read card that I've attached now so you understand). Each card is given a unique ID number. Lets say we're at McDonalds, and I decide to pay for the person behind me in the drive through. I'd give the cashier the card, and tell them to pass it along to the next car when the give them the food that has been paid for. I then go home and log into the website that was on the card, and find my unique ID number. I log into it, and add my information... My first name, city, and a description of what I did....

Let's say the person behind me was you, you would pass it forward to someone else, and then would go home and do the same thing. From the very beginning, you will be able to track where your card goes, and how many people you affect just by doing one simple act of kindness." -Ashley from The Shine Project

Sounds awesome huh? Yep it does. I cannot wait to get my card so I can start doing some good. I need to start thinking about how I am going to use it. Hmm?! :)

"This project had the potential of working small miracles in the lives of those we pass, and we will then be able to see how far one simple act can go. I want to spread the shine community into something that is in every city, so that we can get more projects done and change more lives... I have strongly felt like this is a big way that will get accomplished."-Ashley from The Shine Project

I am so excited about this. I can't wait to start giving back to my community. Make sure you go on over to Ashley's blog and read all about it!
