Places, Places Everywhere!

Welcome Smilers! I’d like to start showcasing acts of kindness here on my blog in the hopes that they will inspire some of us smilers to find new ideas to spread kindness. 

Today I would like to tell you about a sandwich shop in Oklahoma City. The owner of PB Jams recently noticed that it seemed like someone was taking food out of the dumpster at the restaurant. In a great act of kindness she posted a sign that said she would give a free sandwich and some veggies to whomever asked for them. Shortly after, Ashley’s good deed went viral. The response prompted Ashley to start the #Sharethenuts campaign where her customers can purchase extra meals and are given a nut shaped paper to post on the wall. Any customers can come in and redeem those nuts for a free meal. Ashley’s business is growing steadily because of the attention her good deeds are getting. I think it is great to know that there are still business owners out there who want to spread kindness and that they will be rewarded for it. Salute to you Ashley! As for our project today, I have been trying to find new and creative places to place our smiles. Lately I have been putting them around works of art, which I think is really neat.

I love all the support the project is getting from various places and it would be awesome to see that support here on this blog. If you’ve come to read this today then I am sure you know what the power of one small act of kindness can do. Please comment on my blog and let me know if you have a good idea of a place where our smile tokens should be put out!
