Lemons to Lemonade

I was having a difficult few days and didn't have any words to share when I sat down to get caught up on a few bloggy things and what did I find? A beautiful gift from a beautiful person!

I'd like to give thanks to Sema for gifting me with the Lemonade Award!

A Lemonade Award is given to bloggers that show a positive attitude, gratitude,and a willingness to share their ideas, support and online friendship. In other words, people who make lemonade when they get lemons!

Sema shares her amazing mantra cards and beautiful thoughts at her blog AffirmArt. Isn't that a fantastic name? She's also a fellow participant in Wishcasting Wednesdays and her wishes are always an inspiration to me. Thank you so much for this award, Sema!

Here are the rules for the award:

1. Put the logo on your blog or post.
2. Nominate at least 7 blogs that show great Gratitude and/or Attitude.
3. Be sure to list and link your nominees within your post.
4. Let them know they have received this award by leaving a comment on their blog.

Simply Kind Tuesdays - Facebook Experiment

Over at that incredible time suck of a social network, Facebook, I discovered the Karma Experiment - Pay It Forward.

Objective:

Start something positive by sending good karma to every one of your friends by inviting them to this experiment.

Experiment:

To increase a person's karma by doing a random act of kindness.

In the instructions, it says not only to invite all of your friends to participate but to also commit one random act of kindness and grade your life improvement after participating.

How is our life affected by sprinkling random acts of kindness all around our individual worlds? We should be commiting these acts with the receiver's benefit in mind but after doing so, how has it changed us? What have we learned from it?

Go on, give it a try this week and report back with what you have discovered.

Happy sprinkling!
