Giving Gifts

One thing that I do...once in a while on ETSY and at every crafts show, is to pick a random person, or someone that admires something but maybe can't afford it easily....I just give it to them. Big things, little things, it does not matter...if they really like it, or want it or need it...it gives me joy to see them smile , or make their day.

Hi.

My Name is Noah Curran. I have been long-time watcher/reader of your blog. I feel as though I might have a hot discussion for you.

I have recently started a charity and it has caught wildfire amongst the internet sector. It is based on the premise of the game, “TAG” you played when a kid.

TAG or Turning Actions into Good, is a web-based non-profit charity which revolves around the kindness of strangers. The concept allows anyone to participate in a charity, regardless of financial status.

Here is how the process works: Member’s would print off pre-made TAG-cards. Commit an act of kindness. Give the person a TAG-card which asks the stranger to do another act of kindness and go to the website to report about the deed that was done to them. After submitted, viewers can vote for the most touching act of the month. The leading vote getter would receive a prize and a donation towards the charity of their choice.

You’re probably thinking that’s great and all, but why does that matter. Well….. I entered into a contest online, though my college (Belmont University) and the idea spread virally throughout blogs and new sites world-wide. IdeaBlob (the contest) awards start-up money to the winner of this contest. I won the very first leg of the race and was immediately entered into the finals. The finals are Feb 22nd-Feb 29th and everyone will have to vote again.

I thought it might be both beneficial for myself and for your blog to do a story on this.

Please feel free to contact me.

Whatever you and your following can do to help, will be much appreciated.

Also, I tried to e-mail this to you but couldnt find your e-mail. I am not just spamming you...

Thanks,

Noah Curran
