A List of Ideas

It all starts tomorrow and while I have these 10 coffee cards, I thought I ought to create a list of other ideas I can do. Please post your ideas too so we can all have a great list from which to choose.

  • coffee card (can hand out in person or just leave on someone's windshield. I plan to write the url of this blog on it so they know what it's about)
  • shovel someones driveway
  • mow someone's lawn
  • give someone flowers
  • bake for someone
  • visit a seniors residence
  • write a note or card to a friend
  • help someone someone struggling to carry something, carry it
  • send a pizza to a local hospital (or anywhere really) reception with a note saying, "You've been RAK'd - for the reception staff" (I love this idea!! From http://www.rak.co.nz/Ideas/Individual/tabid/61/Default.aspx
  • plug parking meters
  • offer to babysit for a single mother or father so that they can have a break
  • pay for the coffee, toll, lunch etc for the person behind you
  • do a job for someone that they can't do themselves (or help them do it)
  • send a card to a soldier serving overseas http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22219776/ns/business-consumer_news/t/want-send-card-soldier-heres-how/#.ULg31mdj6So give you ideas for how to send a note to a US solder and  http://www.forces.gc.ca/site/commun/message/addresses-2-eng.asp is the link for a Canadian Soldier
  • leave something on your co-workers desk
  • leave a book or magazine you've read in a waiting room with a note for someone else to take it, read it and leave it somewhere else.
There are tons of cool ideas all over the Internet. Feel free to post some of your favorites. I can't wait to start this tomorrow!

    I was the recipient of a RAK today at the Lakeline HEB :-). It really put a smile on my face and I can't wait to pay it forward. I'll pass on the blog URL as well. It would be cool if we could see the chain continue! Thanks to you and your friends.

    Oh yay! I'm the one who left it--well, my nine-year old son sneaked it into your basket. Thank you for posting about it! :)

    I guess being unaware of my surroundings paid off! ;-) I was wondering if it had been in there the whole time or if someone sneaked it in! Anyway, it was much appreciated - I almost cried! I'm trying to come up with an idea to pass it on tomorrow. Thanks again.
