Have You Paid It Forward Lately?

Me? Well, notsomuch. But if you are like me, my friends, then don't worry because the perfect opportunity to do so is upon us. Tomorrow, October 9th, marks the beginning of the Third Annual Sophia's 40 Day Pay It Forward Challenge in honor of sweet little Sophia Jane Smallwood. To learn more about her story. Please watch this video:

Photo: This year we are happy to announce a new part of the Sophia's 40 Day Challenge: Pink Balloon Launch. We ask that as you plan your participation of the 40 Day Challenge from Oct 9-Nov 17 you take a moment at anytime on Oct 9th to do a Pink Balloon Launch. You can do this at home with your family, at work, with friends, loved ones or maybe with your classroom as a teacher. Either way take a picture of your group, tie a tag to your balloon if you'd like and write where it came from and then let it go! As you do take a second to reflect why you are participating. What are you gaining, teaching or learning from these 40 days. Make sure you take a picture of your balloon floating away in the sky all the way up to Sophia. Remember to post it on Facebook, Twitter and/or Instagram with #Sophias40days and #Sophiasteam

I hope that you will join me in paying it forward over the next forty days (and beyond). To learn more about Sophia, her family, and their cause please visit www.sophiasteam.org and visit their Facebook page, Sophia's Team. Together we can make such a difference! If you choose to participate, I would love to hear how you are paying it forward. Share your stories in the comment section below. Let's have fun celebrating Sophia!
