Random Blessings

I was on the internet looking up animal totems -- just something fun to do in the moment – when I came across someone’s idea for random blessings. I have heard different variations of this before but this variation sounds like it would be the most fun to actually do. One of these days (sooner than later) I will do it and let you know how it turns out! In the meantime maybe you want to try it!

So the purpose of these random blessings is to give and receive money. The amount you choose to give away is completely up to you. Remember to keep a light heart about it; spread the blessings because you really want to and expect nothing in return – just as would do when you give any gift.

On a sticky note write a blessing; maybe something like, “May your life be blessed with abundance”, or “May you always be blessed with all that your heart desires”, or you can be creative and think of something simple.

Write as many blessings on sticky notes as you want, then place one sticky note on one dollar or on a five dollar bill (or a higher denomination if you want to). Do this as many times as you wrote blessings. Then find random places in public to hide the blessed money. The key here is to hide the blessing so that people can really find them. If you drop them on the ground, it could look like someone ‘dropped’ or ‘lost’ their money. You really want people to find the blessing and have them feel the effect that it was meant for them.

Suggested places to hide a blessing: inside a newspaper, maybe in the employment section, between books on a library shelf, in a shoe box in the shoe department of a department store, you can carry a glue stick and glue the blessings to a bathroom stall door, a box of cereal or a bag of diapers. Place these blessings anywhere as long as others will easily find them.

Please be mature and responsible and most of all have fun spreading joy!
