| “If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door.” — Milton Berle |

 “I turned 30 on Sunday, May 20th and my husband and I went back and forth about how we should celebrate. We thought about going away for the weekend, having a big party, or going home to Michigan to visit our families. Although all of these were wonderful ideas, I decided that I wanted to do something different. I had heard about people doing random acts of kindness for the age they were turning, i.e., I turned 30 so I would do 30 random acts. I was intrigued by the idea so I did some research and found a few blogs of people who had done similar things. I must say, I was so inspired that I knew this was something I had to do!This was by far the best birthday I’ve ever had and will make this an annual tradition! The best part is, being kind is so addicting that I just can’t stop! I now see opportunities to spread kindness everywhere!” — gimpytj7
