Pay it Forward...

Have you ever seen the film Pay it Forward?  It tells the story of a young boy who, for a school project, must "think of something to change the world and put it into action."  He decides to start doing start doing good deeds for others and instead of asking for payback, he asks that whoever was touched by his good deed pass good deeds on to three others.  It creates an amazing selfless web of change that has the potential to really impact the world.

Now, I haven't seen that film in years, but recently I was reminded of it while looking at the comments on my blog.  My friend Ashlee, who I absolutely adore, wrote some of the best (very possibly pie-worthy) wishes as a comment.  Though I loved all of her wishes, the ones that struck me the most were:

1.) I've been thinking about my family a lot lately and hope that my dad knows what an incredible son he was to his mother and how special he is to everyone that has the pleasure of meeting him.

2.) I wish that my mom would realize that she truly is one of the most selfless people I know and that she is loved beyond words.

These wishes were so heartfelt and selfless.  In a sense, Ashlee "Wished it Forward."  Now, I challenge you to do the same!

Today I'm collecting wishes that you have for others.  Here are mine:
1. I wish that Ashlee will have a safe, smoothe flight when she comes home for a visit in a couple weeks.
2. I wish that my sister Cailen will have an AMAZING 25th birthday.
3. I wish that everyone can enjoy spending time with family and friends this holiday season.

Send me your wish and I might just send you a pie : )
