Director's Poem
Pay It Forward
It’s the simple things that make us smile,
A polite hello or an act that kind,
Random people, doing random things,
Forgot your wallet just let me pay,
Don’t process my card just yet
I’ll pay for the next person in the cheque,
All I ask is they do the same and pay it forward.
You can wait all day and not find the right soul,
Or keep it random when you do the kindness thing,
Random people, doing random things,
Blessing others is the business we’re in,
I’ll open the door that’s quiet a load,
While here I'm let me help you carry it to your car,
All I ask is they do the same and pay it forward.
It’s not your job to play judge,
Assessing who needs your help, just,
Random people, doing random things,
How people appear doesn’t reveal their need,
You’ve no idea of what’s happen before,
Pay a bill or buy a stranger lunch,
All I ask is they do the same and pay it forward.
A concept that pure and simple,
Even you can do, regardless of who you are,
Random people, doing random things,
Stick tape coins to a vending machine,
Having no concern about what it’s used for,
Leave a not above the coins saying,
All I ask is they do the same and pay it forward.

An Awesome Birthday!
York celebrated her 26 Birthday by performing 26 Random Acts of Kindness. Reading her diary you can actually feel the love that filled her very special day. It really is essential reading for anyone who is serious about world change and making our lives the best experience it can be. Some of her acts of kindness were leaving a bunch of flower on a car windscreen and taking coffee in to a group of employees at 4am.
York displays my attitude to the Pay It Forward Experience. These act should be completely random in nature. While there's merit in buying a homeless person a meal or babysitting for a single mum. Everybody deserves kindness in there lives and it is not for use to decide who needs it. Her decision to leave flowers on a random car illustrate my thoughts so well. York could not have known the owner of the car mother died the day before.
Through a random set of events, the car own posted his experience on facebook and the seven degrees of separation took over and word of the identity of the recipient got back to York. Many of us will never know the ripple effects of our random acts of kindness. However York's story illustrates how neat the 'randomness' of our actions can be, if we leave the recipients to chance.
Regardless to the approach you take to The Pay It Forward Experience what really counts is you are making the world a better place to live.

Paying It Forward
I love reading messages of Pay it Forward, when I'm out. Today my idea is to shake things up abit, not always to do things the same. Let the person on before you in the bus even if you have a child and they offer and they are a man or a teenager. Everyone is important. Let someone in the line go first and wait longer , whats the rush and they are your family in the scheme of things.... Xx

What Do I Have To Give
A question asked in our
Pay It Forward Group
My answer was as follows . . .
With multiple disabilities I need assistance with so many daily tasks. As I am unable to work full time I am on a government benefit. Couple with the additional needs, such a wheelchairs, medical safety alert, medications and paying for assistance. Many ask what I have to give. I see Pay It Forward as an attitude. A deliberate choice we make when we walk out the door each day to serve others or in my case my carers walk in the door. Yep! Buying a stranger a cup of coffee is a neat idea, but PIF or giving doesn’t need to involve money. Another term you can use is an act of serve or voluntary work.
I have one thing that being single and not being able to work. Would you want someone who has uncontrollable seizures working for you? Where my body fails, my mind takes over and a very creative mind at that! I process things that money can’t buy and gift and talents that many don’t.
A lot of my time is given to sharing knowledge. Someone else gets the credit and even paid for my research big deal! If you really want to Pay It Forward get over yourself and do it quickly. The way I see it is knowledge is mind the ideas are not.
During the 12 Gifts of Christmas some ways I pay It Forward was to write testimorals for companies I brought products for.
An attitude of thanks goes along way. I have a take-away shop at the end of my street. Exit assistance is no trouble. Tell the young staff the ROCK said more than thank you. Sometimes Pay It Forward is about using generational lingo or dialect. That takes listing skills and time. Believe me people noticed these things is a society that is time poor.
Go back to basics – Grandma’s baking, write letters, make phone calls rather than text. (OK I’m a text hater!) mending, ironing, wash cars, often to return trolleys. They don’t need to be elderly, disable or have kids hang off them. Random acts of kindness is helping anyone when opportunity presents. You don’t know if the well dress person is late for a flight or come from a funnel. Don’t judge Pay It Forward to everyone
.
Give up your seat especially if you got the best one! If you got a window sea, offer it to a child who can look out the window in awe. By the way getting to enjoy their sense of joy is their free gift to you.
Hand make cards and gifts (don’t buy handmade – do it yourself! If you cheat your cheating yourself) OK when you have CP your friends can tell and the impact is always greater but I bet your friends and appreciate the time and effort you put in too.
Write Letters – do you know there’s elderly people in nursing home that never got a visit, a present or even a card over Christmas signing up to right to the forgotten ones international is one of my favourite gifts I gave that and writing to one of my carers whose hard a pretty tough year.
Adopt a grand-parent, niece or nephew - with family breakdowns there’s kids growing up without father figures and single people like me who don’t grandkids. (I am very blessed that my nieces and nephews visit.) or you could baby sit a friends children so they can have a date night.(remember to charge it to the Pay It Forward account.)
Donate blood – in Australia you don’t get payed to donate blood, blood products or organs.
I also donate online – a great charity is I give a buck! You can give as little as a $1 to a specific child’s need. For example bed rails. If an items costs $2,451 then 2451 give $1 the special need is able to be purchase. That’s a lot less than a cup of coffee.
