Meet & Tweet with a Twist of SHINE

Yesterday I woke up to this...
400 Facebook followers & 400 GFC's! 
Sounds like I should have played the Lotto!

I thought today would be a perfect opportunity to celebrate by blessing someone else.
Bless someone who has been very supportive in helping my blog get off the ground.
Someone who is very dedicated to making a change in the lives of other people.
You know, "Pass It Forward."

She's currently trying to get on The Ellen Show to get more people involved,

Pass It Forward... with Portraits

Last week when The Shine Project launched their new SHINE bracelets, I ordered one right away. When it arrived in the mail yesterday, to my surprise, included two Pass It Forward cards. Man was I excited! My mind started running with thoughts, then it hit me.
I'm a photographer, and there are a lot of families that want to have professional portraits taken but just cannot afford it. I have a photo session next week for an amazing young couple just making ends meet. When the session is over, instead of collecting payment, I'm going to give them one of the cards and say, Pass It Forward. How cool is that! {The result will be next weeks post.}

I'm beyond excited to find the right person to hand my second card to. Plus, I'm still waiting for the pack of cards I ordered to come in! I see a lot of random acts of kindness in my near future. 

If you haven't already read about this project Pass It Forward, click here. 
If you want to order cards of your own, click here.

Come on, let's SHINE!
