Random Act of Kindness #18

Whew! Yesterday was quite the day for my tiny little blog. Mandi gave me a little RAK of her own when she shared my Diamond wall treatment with her readers. Kindness just does the heart good! 
Thank you, Mandi!

And another big thanks to all of her reader's who stopped by and left such awesome comments!

I'm really excited to share today's RAK Challenge with you guys. It's definitely one of my favorites so far! I have to share a little backstory to let you know how the idea originated. I was shopping on-line several weeks ago and ran across something that really made me sad. I'll show you what it was but I'm not posting the source, as I don't want to be associated with it in any way.
Apparently, you can actually buy sticky notes and leave a nasty-gram on someone's car when you think they did a poor job of parking. I thought about this all day when I was running my errands. Each time I got into my car I wondered, "What if someone had left a note like that on my car? How would that make me feel?" Honestly, friends, it would really tick me off and hurt my feelings. I think I'd be even more angry that the person was such a coward that they had to leave me a note instead of telling me to my face!

I stewed on this for a couple of weeks before it dawned on me that I could turn this into a RAK challenge!

RAK Challenge #18: Buy a package of sticky notes to leave in your car so you can leave random, kind messages on the cars of your friends and strangers.
 My daughter and I bought ours at the dollar store yesterday. She couldn't wait to leave the first note!
 Check it out...there are 160 stickies. Know what that means? Our family is going to make it a goal to have used up the entire stack by the end of the year. Yep, one hundred sixty notes of kindness and hopefully an added smile to someone's day.

Our first victims:
While at the orthodontist, we asked the receptionist which car belong to the doctor then left him this little note.

Mr. Art teacher got a note on his fancy motorcycle.

Now we're off to guitar lessons. What should we write on his note?
Mr. C...You rock! (Get it?)

Wouldn't it be fun to find a sweet note on your car?...much better than that dumb one mentioned at the top of the page!

Yesterday's notes were for people we know, but I fully intend to randomly pick cars out and drop them a line too. 
A few ideas: 
You're beautiful!
I hope you enjoy a good laugh today!
Thank you for parking way out here so others' could have the close spots. You're the best!
Give yourself a hug. You deserve it!
Have a happy day!
Someone thinks you're great!

Okay, friends, it's time to dig out your stickies or go buy a whole, new stack. Let's start spreading kindness one note at a time!

If you're new here, jump over to the search bar on the right side of the page and type in 'RAK challenges' so you can see what other fun things have been going on.
