#31actsoflove Round Up

7 / 18 / 137 / 17 / 13

Needless to say I’m feeling extremely grateful and blessed for everyone who took part in my birthday wish!

31 Acts of Love
31 Acts of Love

Here are the Acts of Love I was able to accomplish myself!

1. Bought coffee for the girl in line behind me at Starbucks in the morning. Her smile was priceless and she said “Really?” I responded really and she just walked away. Hoping she paid it forward later! The cashier said. One time someone did that and people just kept paying for the person behind them. I didn’t inspire a chain reaction šŸ™‚

2. Took 5 puzzle games for patients and 5 Starbucks Gift Cards for nurses to Sick Kid’s Hospital.

3. Wrote a thank you note and handed it to the TTC streetcar driver on my way home. She look hesitant to take it so I announced! It’s my birthday and I wanted to do something nice for you! I sounded a bit too eager. Oh well! lol But she took it and smiled. I have no idea why I was so super nervous to do that one.

4. Printed out Happiness Quotes and stuck them on the windshield of 6 cars on way to the mall. I was really hoping that people read them instead of throwing them on the ground.

5. Bought Gerber Daisies at the Grocery Store. Handed 2 to the employees at David’s Tea Bayview Village. One employee announced that no one has ever bought her flowers so that made me smile. Then I handed the remaining three to a grandmother, mom and daughter who were walking through the mall. They look so confused but I said “have an amazing day!” and walked away.

6. I bought an iced tea at David’s Tea and brought it back to the concierge at my building. He’s new so I introduced myself and told him that I hoped he was keeping cool in the heat and hoped the iced tea would help!

7. A friend that I no longer speak with sent me an email wishing me a happy birthday. I miss her incredibly in my life so I’m going to take the time this week to write her a long email today (so rarely done anymore). Even in this day and age email is lost. Her reaching out to me was an act of love that I really needed so I’m glad she did.

I was only able to do 7 acts myself but my friends & family (in real life and social media pulled together and wowed me). I felt so loved and honoured that people wanted to participate.

My Mom baked muffins and took a fan over to a friend of hers that has no air conditioning.

When my Dad returns to work next week (had an operation recently) he has something planned for his coworkers. But won’t tell me until it happens! lol

My online friend Scott put quarters in empty parking meters.

My online friend Alan put happiness quotes on cars.

My friend Michelle wrote encouraging notes for co-workers.

My friends Jess, Morgan & Kyla and blog reader Christopher bought coffee for someone behind them in line.

My friends Laura, Sam and Kate and a new Instagram friend Krishna bought lunch or dinner for people.

My friend Krysten brought freezies for her run group.

My friend Aubrie wrote hand written letters to people in her life.

My friend Heather bought a package of new socks for her spin class last week the day of the crazy rain.

My friend Kat is sending over donations to Sick Kid’s Hospital

My friend Christina took her grandmother grocery shopping.

My friend Eva surprised a friend with a frozen yogurt date.

A blog reader Paul offered to take his neighbours garbage out

My trainer Amer bought someone a drink and announced it was for my birthday. This made me laugh as the person probably thought he was crazy.

My friend Shannon was there for someone who needed a shoulder.

An Instagram friend shared love notes with her friend.

20130717-124812.jpg

My friend Jessica & Bry reached out to people with words of love that they don’t do often.

Andre, otherwise known as The Man (in my social media mentions of my boyfriend) carried something heavy down to his elderly neighbours basement.

Thank you for the 26 acts that you told me about! I don’t know if I got them all… I have two other friends who are ridiculously generous all the time so they said they always do little things but nothing instagramable which made me laugh. So technically I guess I’m 35 in love acts šŸ™‚

31 Acts of Love

7 / 1 / 137 / 8 / 13

I was perusing through Pinterest one day and found an amazing image (the one below) that led me to this blog post.

38th Bday

First things first – WE SHARE A NAME!! Ok I was a bit too excited about that. Second of all I was in happy tears reading her post. This is the most selfless and amazing thing someone can do on their birthday. In a world where way too much pressure is put on having an amazing day, I just simply love this idea. No getting drunk. No monetary gifts for me. Just giving of oneself.

The reason why I really want to do it on my 31st birthday is because I turned 30 last year and it was not good. It was supposed to be a big year for me. THE BIG 3.0. I can’t help but reflect back. I turned the big number then ran Warrior Dash with my girls a couple days later. I took myself out of my comfort zone and felt so accomplished and then a couple days after that I was calling off my wedding a month before the big day. My 30th birthday marked a time that was not good and everything that it was NOT supposed to be. So this year. At theĀ beginningĀ of my 31st birthday month I am planning the best gift to myself that I could think of. I want to give away 31 acts of love. In the other Robyn’s blog post she calls them random acts of kindness but they were pre-planned with love. So I’m calling my birthday this year 31 acts of love.

My birthday is July 16 so it falls on a Tuesday this year. I know that I can’t complete 31 acts all by myself and work full time so I’m asking for help from my family and friends. The below list is 10 things that I’m going to do personally on my birthday. I now need 21 people in my life to join in and come up with one act of love to do on my birthday. From the social media realm to in real life friends to family I would love for you to commit to one act of love on my bday. Will you spread love to someone who may need it that day?

Please comment on the blog post on what you’d like to do! Then on July 16th we’ll celebrate by giving love and sharing it on Instagram (#31actsoflove). Are you in?

Feeling tired and depressed post partum is not nor Feeling tired and depressed post partum is not normal. I know something was off after giving birth to twins so I sought help. Happy to chat if you need recommendations!
This was our first trip to the Rockies. We started This was our first trip to the Rockies. We started dating January 1, I left Toronto and moved to Ottawa and right in with Mike on April 1 and then we travelled out to the Rockies in September of that year. A year later we’d get engaged. 

Now we find ourselves 8 years later, married, with twins and have gone through some really hard times. But we have always fought for each other. We have always fought to communicate. We have always fought to understand, learn, forgive, support and love unconditionally. I would go through all our hard times again to get to where we are today.
