Several months ago, I asked to be a part of the blogging gesture “Pay It Forward” that Angie was offering here. Time passed, Angie got busy writing and revising and, I believe, losing her appendix. But while I was briefly in the UK last week, I stopped home in London and found a package, all the way from San Francisco. It was full of the most wonderful treats — chocolate, a small notebook, a pen, a card, even a handmade piece of jewelry! Everything was beautiful but perhaps made even more so since it seemed to come out of the blue. Months had passed since the offer was made and so now the gift seemed even more heaven-sent. Thanks, Angie!!
So now I’m offering the same gesture to you. If you’d like to sometime, somehow, when you least expect it, receive a package from me, let me know in the comments box and I’ll send something to each of the first three people to request it no matter where they live. You’ll owe me nothing, but must agree to then do the same for three other people at a later date and blog about it. Oh, and you’ll need to send me your snail mail address. I can’t promise that what I send will be as delicate and beautiful as what Angie sent me (I’m all thumbs and have no crafts ability whatsoever), but it will be sent with all sorts of positive thoughts and good wishes, and it will definitely be a small piece of me flying its way over to you.
I took part in this a little while ago and it was an amazing experience. Good to see that it’s still going.
Oo Sue, that would be lovely. I would love to be part of this. I love the idea of random kindness…
Lovely for you. Surprise pressies are always the best.

I would love to, and would be delighted to pay it forward! What a wonderful idea.
What a wonderful idea! (And what a wonderful WV word: tinglybi!)
Helen: Hi. Yes, I love the way this thing keeps on going.
Annie: Okey doke. You’re on the list. Can you let me know your snailmail address…are we friends on facebook? I’ve lost track (sorry). Otherwise, can we be? That might be the easiest way to give your details.
Glyn: Yes, there’s something to be said for the passage of time…
Tania: Great! Do you have an address yet? Just email me when you do and I’ll get moving on this. This will be fun!
Dot: I keep meaning to keep a record of these great words. there’s a poem in there somewhere. Do you want to take part in this thing?
Sue what a lovely thing to do! I count two people, so can I be number three? I might kill you with postage though- think light. I’m already thinking of stuff I could send folks- what fun!
Lauri: Absolutely. Count yourself as number 3. Do you want to give me your snailmail address via fb or what?
To all: Guess I have my 3 recipients now. Thanks!
Hi Sue
I did this a few months ago, it was loads of fun. Nice to see you are getting involved too.
I just found you from Lauri’s blog in Botswana, and although my husband and I don’t really give one another presents as we are kind to one another year-round, I do like the idea of sending something to someone, even anonymously, especially if that someone is in need of a boost. Love the movie, “Pay it Forward.”
Gutsy: Thanks for dropping by. And yes…if only we didn’t have to be “reminded” to be kind to each other….Great to “meet” you.
Commenting very late, but I’m glad you enjoyed the present, despite the fact that it was so late. Hope you have fun as it goes forward. 🙂

Sue, THANK YOU so much, really made my day to get your package through the post…
That is such a lovely idea -where did it come from?
