April World Holidays
Pay It Forward Day ~ April 28th
(Click on link for more information)
“We are excited that we now have over 80 countries participating in Pay it Forward Day with over 100 state and city proclamations.
Pay It Forward Day is a global initiative that exists to make a difference by creating a huge ripple of kindness felt across the world. Of course, our hope is that people pay kindness forward every day and make each day that little bit brighter. We believe that small acts, when multiplied by millions of people can literally change the world for the better — and on April 28th we’ll set out to prove it! For this year’s international Pay it Forward Day (PIFD) we are aiming to inspire over 10 million acts of kindness around the world. Imagine the difference that would make! Join us in paying it forward, and help spread the word about this important day!”
This past November 2018 I took part in the Nibvember 2018 Challenge. Day 27 prompt was Lettering and I came up with the design below. It’s easy to see where my inspiration came from as I’d participated in the A to Z Challenge in 2016. So, feeling the call to try once again for A To Z Challenge 2019, I decided to sign up for this years using this design as my inspiration.

I’ve not heard about Pay it Forward Day but what a positive message. Last Christmas I went to my local coffee shop and paid for a coffee for whoever came in next to buy one. It felt good to do something for someone ‘just because’. Thanks for sharing at #MLSTL and kindness costs us nothing but can bring such joy. x

Making it a way of life … like you said … ‘just because’ seems more meaningful Sue. The day is a good reminder. 🙂
