One good turn....

...and see what happens?

That's what I mean about "random" acts of kindness -- they should be called "premeditated" acts of kindness. Even when they seem spur of the moment, they always issue from someone who has medidated on how to be kinder and more gracious.

Like Ricki at Diet, Dessert and Dogs. She gave away some delicious desserts a few months back.

In turn, Iwas inspired to give away a book last month.

My sister recently posted a "handmade give-away" on her facebook page. The catch? You had to promise to give away something handmade in return. For a handmade gift from my sister? You bet I signed up on the spot.

And now Ricki's at it again. This time, it's organic maple syrup from Coombs Family Farms that she'll ship to a lucky winner anywhere in North America!! And, if you live in the Toronto area, you can win one of her custom-baked chocolate layer cakes. Check out the photos she has posted of some of her beautiful creations and possible combinations, like chocolate cake with sweet potato truffle filling, and chocolate frosting. Oh, why-o-why do I live in Texas??? Make sure to check out her website, enter for the drawing, and just enjoy perusing her fun posts and ultra-delicious recipes.

Let their turns inspire your good turn. Because, as you know, for every good turn turn turn, there is a season, turn turn turn....

March 22 P.S. Ah, here's another givea-away, this time for a Vitamix. Check out Brilynn's blog at Jumbo Emapanadas and try not to drool as you read your way through her gorgeous photos and incredibly innovative recipes.
