You know when something comes across your path and you know it’s GOOD and RIGHT? Well, that happened to me today and I want to share it with you.
We all remember the movie ‘Pay It Forward‘ that came out in 2000. We were all moved and inspired by a young boy who simply wanted to do something. Following the movie many of us ran out and did whatever we could to Pay It Forward ourselves. That movie was great and the action following was tremendous.
Sadly, the movie went to the DVD shelf and our enthusiasm slowly slipped away. References to the movie remain and in our hearts, we are all still compelled to do something but I guess the question is what and how?
Today, my world collided with two lovely people {that’s just the best way to describe them, they are lovely}. Doc Compton and his partner, Mindy Lawrenz. In addition to their ‘day jobs’, Doc and Mindy run an organization that is changing peoples lives one envelope at a time. Moved by compassion and need, NeedItKeepIt was birthed. This concept is simple and achievable by all of us. Whether you are 5 or 75 this one envelope at a time giving/pay it forward movement changes not only the recipients life but the one giving as well.
To learn more about this amazing movement listen on demand to today’s RealLife Radio show where I hosted both Doc and Mindy and they shared their heart, vision and obvious passion. Be inspired friends. To listen click HERE.
BE INSPIRED FRIENDS and Together let’s BE THE CHANGE WE WANT TO SEE!
