Have you met Ashley over at The Shine Project? She’s a pretty incredible gal, and I wanted to help her spread the {love} about her latest and greatest project that is about to unfold.
A week or so ago she reached out via Twitter looking for some bloggy help in getting the word out about this project. I’m always willing to help where I can. A day or so later, I started getting the e-mails explaining the details. It’s pretty exciting and it was so obvious how self-less Ashley is! Here are a few of her own words: “As soon as I reveal this, it’s no longer “my” project. It’s ours. I can only accomplish so much being one person. I am grateful for your willingness and sweet hearts that want to give back and be involved in changing the world. And dang it, we’re going to.”
Pass It Forward was designed to get people to do everyday little things that will make an impact on the community around YOU. Pass it Forward is designed around a card. Each card is given a unique ID number.

Here’s a scenario of how it would work. Lets say I’m at McDonalds, and I decide to pay for the person behind me in the drive through. I’d give the cashier the card, and ask them to pass it along to the next car when they give them their food. I would then go home and log into the website that was on the card, and find my unique ID number. I log into it, and add my information: first name, city, and a description of what I did. Let’s say the person behind me was you, you would pass it forward to someone else, and then you would go home and do the same thing.
So, from the very beginning, you will be able to track where your card goes, and how many people you affected just by doing one simple act of kindness. Pretty exciting, isn’t it? This project has the potential of working small miracles in the lives of those we come in contact with, and we’ll be able to see how far one simple act can go. Ashley’s desire is to grow the Shine Community into something that is in every city, so that she can get more projects done and change more lives. Won’t you consider being a part of this change?

This is such a wounderful idea!! I had heard about pay it forward on AFR (American Family Radio) and this seems to take it a bit further. What a great blessing this will be and like Danni said "rewarding":)

What a sweet idea! I once went for food, and when I got the window to pay I was told someone paid for a bunch of meals that day. It not only took me by surprise, but warmed my heart. Thanks for sharing.

I love the Shine Project! I've totally missed the pass it forward cards though. This is amazing. I'm definitely going to have to do it. This is my first time on your blog and I love it! You'd fit in awesome with me and my sister (who I blog with)…coffee lovers and Jesus lovers, pretty much the 2 most important things. 🙂 Newest follower!
