Pay It Forward
Hello everyone! Welcome to Wednesday's post!
News of what she did went viral.
The Meredith Vieira Show invited her to the show and awarded her $10K for her simple act of kindness.
This goes to show that even the smallest act of kindness can have a huge effect and can even come back full circle and reward you in a way you didn't think it could. So I encourage all of you reading this to take Coco's lead and make someone's day. You don't have to pay for someone's meal, it could be as simple as a compliment, but try to do something nice for someone else. :)
See ya tomorrow!

Today's post is going to be about someone Sarah actually knows personally. Her mom's friend from her work, Kathleen "Coco" Connors, recently moved to Vermont. She is an RN at a hospital there. One day last November, Coco stopped at a local diner for breakfast after working a night shift. She got her usual, and when she went to pay the bill, she not only paid for herself, but for a father and son at another table.
"I was looking around aimlessly and I had a pocket full of bingo winnings. It's nice to see a family come together on the weekend." She stated on her Facebook.
After paying $40 for both meals, she got in her truck and went home. What she didn't know was that her generosity would be repeated -- 46 times -- in the span of 6 hours.

ReplyDeleteYou may have heard of stories where even something as simple as smiling at a person (you might not even know them!) can stop them from committing suicide, so it's definitely something to keep in mind! .)
