Practice Random Kindness: Good Deed December Update #3

I'm not a religious person. I don't go to church. I don't even really think I'm that spiritual, except for the fact that I 100% believe in Karma, or getting back the energy that you put out. However, I do think that if you're going to practice something, religious, spiritual, or otherwise, it should be this:

So here's what I've done for others the past few days as I make my way through Good Deed December.

December 13th: When I purchased something on Overstock.com today, they gave me the option to add an extra dollar to my order which would go towards Wounded War Heroes. One of my brothers is currently in boot camp training to be a Marine. I clicked YES.

December 12th: I donated $10 to 826Chi's literacy and reading program. You should too. The program is totally free and it helps tons of underprivileged kids develop better reading and writing skills, plus the people who run the program are super smart and FUN!

December 11th: I can't remember what I did on this day, but I know I did something! To make up for it, I'll tell you two things I did on December 1oth!

December 10th: 1) This was the day it was 7 freaking degrees outside! I took a cab home from my interview and I was so grateful to get home and out of the cold that I tipped the cabbie $4 on an $8 cab ride, instead of my standard $2.

2)After eating lunch in Ogilvy station, I had almost a whole carton of fruit left. Instead of throwing it away, I left it in plain view on top of the tray holder above the garbage for some of the homeless people, who were roaming the station and digging through trash, to eat. I don't know if anyone found it, but I like to think they did.

Have you done anything nice lately, either in the spirit of the holidays, or just because?

I'd also like to thank JamieLovely for doing a good deed for me last night. After the Chicagonista party, she dropped me off at my bus stop so I wouldn't have to walk in the cold/rain in my heels. It's the little things that count, and not getting blisters and freezing my butt off counts a lot to me! Thanks Jamie. :)
