The Oprah Project

Remember last week when I wrote this post after watching Oprah? I mentioned how cool it would be to have enough money to be able to surprise people and make their day. That night before falling asleep, I got an idea.

Stupid me, I don't need money to surprise people and make their day. Sure, it would totally be more exciting if I could do big, elaborate surprises (you know I like surprising people, right?), but people like little surprises too, even small gestures to know that someone was thinking of them.

I decided I was going to be "Oprah" for a week - minus the camera crew, and high heels. I think you should play along with me too, it will be so much fun.

Here's the deal. Every day this week I'm going to think of someone I can surprise with something that will make their day (or hour, whatever). It's been so fun just to think of some ideas and people I could help that I'm going to have to narrow down the list. It's not going to be anything huge, just something simple that will hopefully be a little bit helpful.

Won't this be fun?

Come on. Be "Oprah" with me.

Actually great minds think alike- Done and done. I am doing the 12 days of Halloween on less active girls in the RS. I LOVE IT. One of them put stuff about it on their Facebook status and it makes me so dang happy. I hope you find your "joy" that you desire.
