Beginning October 1st, we are challenging ourselves to do 90 straight days of kindness for others. We will be posting a minimum of 3-4 times per week to share with your our experiences and the difference it made in our lives that day. We encourage you to also take up the challenge. It is easy and fun while at the same time is a great way to give back to your community, family, friends, and people you don’t know.
Here’s how it works: 1) Make a commitment to do at least one kind deed each day. 2) Create your own kindness meter account (it’s FREE) on idontstink.com. 3) Log into the kindness meter to look for ideas of kindness. There are 8 tabs of kindness suggestions for you. They are: Everyday, Environment, Office/School, Community, On the Road, Family, Friends, & Self Kindness. 4) Do your one kind deed (or more if you like). 5) Come back to idontstink.com and login to the kindness meter. Add your kind deed to your personal meter and watch both yours and the public meter go up. 6) If something touched you while doing the kind deed, go to the latest blog post and tell us your story. That’s it!
If you are uncomfortable sharing your story on the blog, you can always email me directly at: bill@positract.com.
With loads of gratitude and kindness,

90 Days of Kindness – Day 4
When I woke up this morning, I was pretty sore from the work done yesterday. I also didn’t feel my best and found it hard to go out and do kind deeds for others. I decided to do something kind for myself, take the day off. So, I spent the day watching football (Go SAINTS! 4-0!) and pretty much doing nothing. Near the end of the day, I decided I could say some prayers for family and friends. You see, kindness doesn’t have to be physical act. A simple kind thought toward someone you love or that challenges you is a kind deed.
With gratitude and peace,

90 Days of Kindness – Day 3
After a full day of shoveling, leveling, laying stones, tamping and a bunch more activities, I headed home. When I got there, I noticed immediately that my neighbor had mowed my front yard. Now how cool is that?
With love and gratitude,

Kindness Challenge, Day 2
After I did these kind deeds, it seemed that my day just got better and better.
With gratitude to everyone doing kind deeds today,

Kindness Challenge, Day 1
Several times today I also did kindness for myself. I SO wanted a snickers bar in the afternoon but decided to have a piece of fresh fruit instead. At lunch, I really wanted a coke but ordered water instead. I made lots of choices like that for myself today.
You don’t have to look very far to do kind deeds. Don’t forget doing kindness for yourself is just as important as doing kindness for others.
With gratitude and kindness,
Bill
The Challenge is HERE!

The Green Drink Saga continues… Days 2-6
Yes, I am still alive in case you were wondering! It has been a really interesting time starting “green” drinks. The first two days all I can say is that it was just awful! I barely kept them down if you know what I mean. Something strange did happen on day 3 though. It was a lot easier. In fact, each day that I drink it, it gets just a little easier. I can tell you that it doesn’t taste good by any stretch of the imagination but it is certainly tolerable. Now when I gulp the drink down, it merely tastes like I am drinking grassy water. Not bad. Not good. But the health benefits are well worth it.
Now I am off to drink the greenies for the 7th day in a row.
With peace and gratitude,
Bill
Day 1: The Green Energy Drink Saga
Well, today I finally did it. I drank my first Pure Energy Greens drink from the Tony Robbins. I had been putting it off for a week now but decided today was the day. I opened the lid and smelled what I was about to drink. It actually smelled like chocolate so I thought this might not be so bad after all. That quickly went away as I mixed it with 16oz of water bottle. It looked like dirt mixed with water and pretty much tasted the same. I was able to choke it down though.
I am going to continue doing this for a little while to see if I can tell the difference. I am starting with just one drink a day and will graduate to 2 on the 5th day. If you have ever tried one of these energy green drinks, please let me know how the experience was for you.
With gratitude,
Bill
