You guys! @phoenixwren pointed out yesterday that this week is Random Acts of Kindness Week. That's right, a whole week to celebrate acts of kindness! I know we do that everyday around here, but it's fun to have a holiday. haha!
I am going to attempt to do an act of kindness every day this week. Can't promise it'll happen, but I'm gonna try!
Now, on to today's mission! As some of you have no doubt noticed, I have leased myself some steem power. And I love to use it! (And no, not on myself. Although I do upvote my own posts, I keep it to less than 20% per week. The rest goes to all of you.) I love nothing more than finding content that I enjoy and being able to compensate the writer for thier effort.
But sometimes..sometimes you find an article or two that stand out. That deserve more than I can give at 100% upvote. Like today. 2 posts today really touched me in different ways and I wanted to go above and beyond for them because they are amazing #ophumanangels rockstars. Both are fairly new to the tag, but have been doing outstanding things. I hope you'll all go visit thier blogs.
First, @lidiasteem. This was an #ophumanangels post that was super fun and creative. She bought bananas to give to the monkeys alongside the road on her travels. I just loved it. Click the pic to read her post.
I decided to use the @treeplanter vote bot to give this post a little extra love. And we helped pay for some trees to be planted! Yay! Double win!
Then there was @hickorymack and her post about the difficulty of finding water and restrooms to use while she and her children were homeless. This one broke my heart. But fear not dear readers! She shared wonderful news the other day that she has acquired housing and won't have to stay in the shelter with her children anymore. Please go check out her blog, let's show her that Steemit loves her.
Sprinkled a little more @treeplanter love over this post as well. We planted more trees! Yay!
Well done both of you! Much love to you and your families! Keep writing, keep dreaming and reaching! You are both amazing individuals and I hope my post reflects how much love I have for our #ophumanangels family. Love and light, thanks for reading!
