Sometimes I am just lucky. Why now? At Blogher ’13, I randomly sat at a breakfast table with Caitlin and another woman. The other woman gave me a lovely and unexpected compliment. Caitlin and I chatted and exchanged cards and I have been following her blog ever since. Last year, I participated in and told you about Caitlin’s 31 Random Acts project.
Well, she’s here to tell you about it:
Hello Erica’s Finds Readers!
I don’t remember how I first stumbled across Erica’s blog, but I’ve been loving her tips ever since. It’s not often you find amazing product reviews, running logs and various happiness finds all wrapped up in one url! But, I valued Erica even more when, last year, she participated in my 31 random acts challenge.
The project is quite simple – conduct 31 random acts in 31 days – but it’s delivered a tremendous amount of happiness and gratitude to my life. Hopefully, it brought similar feelings to Erica, too!
This year, I will be hosting the project again and, true to form, I want to invite others to join me – people, like you!
I would love for you to also perform a random act of kindness this month – or all 31! If you want some ideas for various acts, check out the infographic or my how-to post. We also have a Facebook page and a Twitter handle. And, if you’re reading this on a late date in October… jump right in; it’s never too late to join!
If you are wondering, there is only one rule about participating, which is to please tell someone about 31 random acts! As I said in my original post last year, if you can get even one additional person to perform a random act in October, you will double your impact on the world!
Thank you for hosting these thoughts, Erica, and for being an inspiration in the world!

Here are Caitlin’s suggested acts, but you can do anything kind on any day in any order!
I’m in again this year! My first act is one half kind and one half selfish. I am going on a run with Jeff and Olivia to celebrate Jeff’s birthday. I will do something else kind today, too. How about you? Who’s with me and Caitlin?
Have a happy (and kind) October, all!
