44 Weeks of Doing Good

Erykka and I decided to do the #dogood52ways challenge from the Do Good Bus. Every Wednesday night, we draw a new paper from the jar; complete the task; and invite our blog readers to partake. For more information on how this started go here.

Did I tell you last week's challenge was a soul challenge?

I really hope you participated and felt some goodness in it. I know some wisdom from a mother figure can always turn a day from bad to good. Moms are enlightened ladies!!

Like I mentioned last week, I live with my mom and chat with her every day. So I took the challenge above and beyond.

My momma and I! also, a bridal shower sneak peek! 

I spent time with both of my grandmothers at my bridal shower on Saturday and spoke to my godmother on the phone. I need to stop by her house this Saturday because her invitation got lost in the mail. I know they're coming, but I still want them to see it!!

I need to call my grandmother again today. They had to leave early because my grandpa wasn't feeling well (he has pancreatic cancer) and afterward I heard that she was worrying over the gift she got me! What a sweet lady!

This week's challenge is another easy one. I really love the way that the #dogood52ways challenge is about big things and small things. Every act of goodness and kindness does not have to be a large act.

I can't wait to see how you thank a janitor! Of course the words "Thank you" are enough, but I see our school janitor every day! I am brainstorming a more meaningful way of saying thank you. I challenge you to do the same!

52 Weeks of Doing Good

Has anyone heard of the Do Good Bus?

Maybe if you were following my blog last fall you had the pleasure of reading this amazing post about it. I first discovered the Do Good Bus while I was interning at LA Parent magazine. I featured them in an article I wrote on giving back over the holidays. Lemme break it down for you: You sign up for an event that fits under a category [that's all you know]. You pay around 30 dollars, but that includes lunch and wine [holla!] When the day arrives, you hop on their school bus and they take you to your undisclosed location. While traveling, they give you the low down of the day. It usually lasts about 4-6 hours and it is just wonderful.

Venice Beach Clean Up + Movember Awareness

In November 2012, I went on my first Bus with one of my best friends. We ended up working both for Movember and doing a beach clean up. It was so amazing, I want to do one every month but I always end up busy the day they do their monthly event. They also take a few weeks off from Los Angeles and travel the UNITED STATES with FOSTER THE PEOPLE. I love it!!

I recently got their email and saw their Do Good Bus Holiday Mason Jar and had to get one. Of course, the purchase money is used to help them keep the bus running and the organization going. Any leftover donations they donate to various causes.

So this Mason Jar is filled with 52 ways of doing good - one for each week. Last night, my best friend and I picked one and we are going to be doing one a week until it's done [so, if you're bad at math...that's a year!]

Each week I am going to post our Do Good and I'd love it if you join in!! The way I'm going to work this is reveal the Do Good on Thursdays and then on the following Thursday you report on if you did it the week before :) If you don't want to link up, but you want to post on Instagram, use the hashtag #dogood52ways :)

Take part in the 52 Weeks of Doing Good

Mostly, this is my way of holding myself accountable to finish something. Giving back is one of my all time favorite things, but sometimes I get so bogged down in my life that I forget the little things. I try to do them every day, but with no set schedule. As I mentioned in my goals, I want to make habits. This is a great habit to have.

I can't wait to see your pictures! :)
