#TamraIs30

Next month I will be celebrating the big 3-0! I have always loved giving and doing unexpected things for others, so I decided that in the 30 days leading up to my birthday I am going to do just that. I'll be doing at least one "Intentional Act of Kindness" a day until June 16th!

I want to BE KIND and SPREAD KINDNESS to others. The World needs a lot more of it! I think one little kindness spark will ignite a kindness movement, and I am just trying to get the flame going. I've seen lots of people do this kind of birthday celebration before but was originally inspired by Carlee a few years ago.

Recently, I've been reading Rachel Hollis' new book Girl Wash Your Face and let me tell you friends... IT IS SO STINKIN' GOOD. I've laughed out loud, I've shed a few tears and I've literally used my Praise Hands and said "YASSSS GIRL" out loud! If you haven't read it yet, you can get it HERE. There is a chapter where she discusses how we as women tend to not want to celebrate our birthdays because of the "disappointments" we are facing. We set goals (often ones we can't even control ourselves) and then fail to achieve that goal before the deadline we set ourselves and ultimately we fall into a sort of depression because we didn't reach a preconceived destination we made up for ourselves. Then that birthday turns into a reminder that "you don't have a baby yet" or "you aren't married yet". 

Ummmm, HELLLOOOO??? WHY DO WE DO THAT TO OURSELVES?!
I will admit that I've been in that boat in years past, but I am not anymore. Can I get an AMEN?! I AM HAPPY AND EXCITED to turn 30, y'all!

So for this kindness project, I will be using the hashtag #TamraIs30 on social media and would love for you to follow along and maybe even help me celebrate my 30th by participating! It doesn't have to be for the entire 30 days, but try to do a random act of kindness or two! It seriously feels SO GOOD and you will be so happy you did it! If you decide to participate I would love if you would let me know and use the hashtag as well!! 

TODAY is my first official day and will continue through June 16th (one day before my 30th!)!! I plan to do a full 30 day re-cap right here once this kindness project is complete. I can't wait to see what kind of impact this makes and ultimately the KINDNESS that is spread over the next 30 days. 

I have a lot of plans and ideas of things I will be doing, but would love to know if you have any suggestions for an act of kindness yourself! Maybe you've done this before?! SHARE your ideas below!!! 

I would love for you to HELP me CELEBRATE turning 30!!!
