And now there are 5...

Yes, there are now 5 of us on this journey. 4 girls, one boy. 3 Brits, two Americans. And potentially a whole lot of RAoKs (1825, all being well).

Since starting thinking about this, I have found my eyes have re-opened to the chances for RAoKs that abound all around us. For the words and deeds that can make our world a little brighter. For the effort and time and thought that we can put in to help someone else, whether they are a stranger, or someone we know and love deeply.

I'm so excited for this journey to begin!

Oh, and if you'd like to join us, please do just email at raok365@googlemail.com. The more the merrier, for sure!

Love,
Cxx

PS Can you believe it's nearly Christmas? I may do some Christmassy RAoKs as a warm up!

365 random acts of kindness

It begins.

You sit there, making notes for, let's say, an assembly.

You're talking about kindness, and helping, and Join Me (the kindness collective you're part of), and the joy of RAoKing. For the uninitiated, a RAoK is a "random act of kindness", and Joinees (of which I am one) try to do one every Friday. We call them "Good Fridays".

Anyways, you get to thinking about RAoKing. And you think, why once a week? Why not more often? Why not every day? WHY NOT EVERY DAY FOR A WHOLE YEAR???

And lo, RAoK 365 was born.

365 RAoKs. In a year.

And now, it's not just me...my dear friend Emily's up for the challenge also.

Bring on January 1st and the RAoKing, say I!
