Challenge to Honor Guido
Guido from Northern Trip has lost his dear mother. Guido always touches my heart with his ability to give honor and time both to J-land and to his waking world around him. He always has mastered the practice of bringing both together and shareing it with us.
Additionally, he is a leader in guiding us to support each other in both of our worlds. He realizes that the words we use here, will carry with us into our lives and to those that we encounter on a day to day basis.
Today's challenge is this. Drop by Call for Support AND/OR Northern Trip and let Guido know you are thinking of him. (many of you have already done this.)
AND...
Although we can only offer prayers and words of kindness to Guido, we can offer acts of kindness to those around us. Guido has asked us to do this often.
This challenge is in honor of Guido. Look to the world around you. Between now and next Thursday, find one person you meet, someone you do not already know, and offer them support. Perhaps it is opening a door, letting them pass you in line (cue for out European friends
), help them find their way if they are lost, offering kind words, or simply whispering a prayer silently for someone you feel really needs it or better yet, someone you feel doesn't! Basically, show someone you care. Someone who doesn't already know.

Please share your experience below so that we can learn from you and perhaps get ideas we didn't think of.
If you take this weeks challenge please let me know and snag the tag below and add it to your sidebar.
Till next Thursday!
PS I will be catching up with those of you from last week. I am a bit behind because of vacation, but please know I have not forgotten.

I think this is a wonderful idea of a way to honor a sweet and dear friend!!! Something he'd be proud of. But humble about, of course. ;o) - Barbara

I'm like many people here. I do random acts of kindness everyday. I try to be nice to everyone, (even if they don't always appreciate it.)
But I will try extra hard this week.
Great entry.

I'm like Missie, I try to look around and help people who need help, encouragement, support; I let let people go first in line before me if I have a lot of items and they have only one or two etc
but I did hold open the door this morning for a lady bringing in her sick cat to the vet while I was waiting for Koda to get his shot
this was a wonderful tribute to Guido, Rosemary; he really does a lot for J-Land; I am sorry for his loss; always hard to lose your mom
