Have You Taken Up the Feed It Forward Challenge? Pay It Forward!

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Homes Arizona Real Estate LLC

A few days ago, Brad Andersohn - the leader of the pack - presented a great idea. His post "Feed It Forward" was apparently a hit - because (drum roll please) - someone (whose name shall remain anonymous) sent me a gift certificate for $10 for any restaurant on the list of choices in my area! Awesome!

Can I tell you? I wanted to "hug" this individual just because it made my day! How cool that someone thought enough of me to give this special gift! Of course Active Rainers are so generous: with their time, their knowledge, and more...but this is above and beyond.

So? My immediate thoughts went to: "to whom can I feed it forward?" I'm still thinking, but I thought it would really be cool to share our stories about Brad's very seasonal and special way of paying it forward. Come on - jump in, the water is warm! Very!

Oh, and BE SURE to read his entire post! He has a really neat story in there that I just know you will love.

Merry Christmas

Hi Teri...This is a Great Idea, it is not available in Canada, but I'm sure lots of AR members will jump on board and give these to Clients for Gifts, or Birthdays

Just sent out 30 feed it forward invites. I hope everyone enjoys their dinner. ;-) I'm wondering how many duplicates we can use. ;-)

I have a feeling we'll be doing duplicates here.....;-)

This time of year is a great time to start the process and continue it all year long. Thanks I read his post and always intend to do something but in our busy lives never seem to get around to it.

I received one and thought it was a great idea.  I have sent out about 55 of them and received, count them, zero responses, not thank yous, not don't sent me these things again,  Nothing.  I would be interested to hear what anyone else finds.  I mentioned it to someone  and they said, "oh, that's what that was."
