Do unto others - January 26, 2010

Was in a retail store today checking out comfy womfies. On checking out, the cashier noticed my gym bag and asked where I worked out. I told her, and suggested she check it out. For the tip, she sold the item to me at a 30% discount! Well, hello how do you do... as I walk out the store, who should be standing outside but a rep from the very same club promoting it!!! What's the likelihood of that??? Of course I walked him into the store with me and introduced him to the clerk. He gave her a pass for 5 free classes. As for me, he took my email address, and if she joins, I get one month free!!! Pretty amazing... this stuff of putting positive energy out there.

Ah- ha!

You're enjoying the photo*... awesome!!! Where'd it come from?

This pic was in one of my dad's old photo albums. When I first came across it, inquiring from my little kiddo mind, to Dad (RIP) and Mom... "Why do you have this picture in your album?"

Mom's response: "Your Father's an idiot!"
Dad's response: "he he he... it's funny!"

Either way, sounded interesting, and something I should look into... and did u know? It's the 'sunset capital of Canada'. Ah-ha, how romantic!!!

Deliberate acts of generosity in week two

The expression, 'stop and smell the roses'. I did it. Deliberately. And you know what? There are positive vibes all around me, I just haven't been really seeing the glow.

Except maybe the old fart in the elevator I haven't been able to get to say 'hello' back after many of mine. I did get a grunt after opening the door for him as he trudged an armful of garbage to the recycling room (even though I thought, 'get a bin, you idiot! now, now, be nice, that's the point of this - positivity!)

From $ to Haiti (people and animals), to comforting Haitians on twitter, or to embracing friends with a hug (I want a Glow Bear!) or stopping the car for squirrels... I am feeling better about deliberate transformation to a glass half full 'tude.

Good deed day one @ 6PM

I posted my decision on blogging, and low and behold... a good deed already!!!

My lovely beautiful petite Polish neighbour from across the hall who dogsits her son's dog (and she has a lover) ever so gently knocks on my door and asks kindly if she could borrow my phone. Her Rogers home phone was out of service.

"Of course!" I said, thinking 'hmm, a good deed already?'. 10 minutes later, and her phone is working again. A generous spirit at work for my first day to a big-better-best world!!!!!

So imagine that... Put it - whatever it is - out to the universe, and it comes to you.

Inspired!

Here's the thing... I have absolutely no idea what the next big-better-best work gig will be. But I know this: I like to write.

Writing clears my mind. Writing brings closure. And writing brings with it sharing a sentiment... a natural generosity of content.

This is what I decided to with all the creative juices running through my receptacles throughout 2010. I decided I will blog! Once a week, maybe daily. about something that inspired me. Something that made me go, 'hmm'. Or something generous and thoughtful I did that made my world - or someone else's - a real nice big-better-best place to live or work. I may even get that pic that carries the convo!!!
