Kindness... for free

Click here to order your free smile cards! :cheesy:

I found this site whilst randomly surfing and thought it was a great idea, plus you get to spread some free kindness to others with no spend required.

You basically commit a random act of kindness towards someone, give them the card and the idea is then that they do the same and pass the card on...

Right that's too much courtesy for me to day i'm going to have to spend the rest of the day being naughty. ;)

    thats a great idea, thanks.

    i made a pact with myself a few years back to do at least one RAOK every day and it really makes you feel good inside :)

    if you passed on these cards the people you did the RAOKs for would think about doing it too themselves :)

    Reminds of the film "Pay it Forward". A boy came up with a similer idea.
    He did three radom acts of kindness then those that he was kind to had to do three randim acts of kindness.

    Just ordered some so we'll see how it goes. I like to think that I often perform acts of kindness but it would be good to create a ripple effect.

    Be interested to know how everyone gets on and what reactions, positive or otherwise, the cards generate.

    That would be a great idea! It may give others some ideas on what to do aswell. I will be sure to let everyone know how I get on when I receive my cards.
