I baked and shared the spoils. And printed little inspirational quotes and left them in random places in the grocery store, at church, in the library and in public restrooms. Not sure I consciously did an act of service, but I guess a wife and Mum's life involves doing lots of Acts of Service each day.
This week I am suggesting three more DRAKs and you are free to join in by completing one or more or coming up with your own. But please, do comment on the blog or the Facebook page I Dare You if you do something. Feel free to add a photo or quote to inspire us too:)
All the DRAKS revolve around books this week....why you may ask? No other reason except that I love them and I think they can be a great gift to give. So here goes....
1. Donate a book.....buy a new one that inspires and give it to the local library or local school. You could even donate it to a particular classroom teacher. Or go through your collection and make a donation of some of yours to a retirement home or homeless shelter or women's hostel or...
2. Join (for free) and have a go at giving books online. This great organisation let's you read kid's books online and then choose a charity to help donate real books to kids in need all around the world.
3. Loan a book....find one that has helped or encouraged you and loan it to a friend - without expecting it back.
4. And for those into the truly random, here's a bonus dare of leaving a book in a public place with a note to the 'finder' to read and enjoy and then pass on. I am going to try this with a book of beautiful photos and inspirational quotes.
So there you have it...4 DBRAKs (Deliberate Book Random Acts of Kindness). Happy sharing!
