People meet people from all different backgrounds and in all different places. I know personally, I get confused if I knew someone from my home town, or college, or the navy, or travel trips, or whatever, it’s ample amount of people and its gets confusing, even with today's connection to social media. However, people fall out or lose touch with one another all time. It's life and it happens. Congratulations, you're slowing picking the individuals who you want to stay in your life. Well, some people are just awesome. And maybe circumstances have changes in our lives where those awesome people move to another state, or take another job. We still want those people in our lives. For the sake of our lives. Well tell them that. This week we're going to send 1 guy and 1 girl a gift to tell them how awesome they are. It may be small, it may be big, it may be money, it may be home made. But show them something to make their day, or their week. You'll be amazed with the reaction they have! Or, on the contrary, send something anonymously. This challenge is not about you in any way, its for someone else, or others rather. Send something that will put a smile on their face with no known gratification to you. Now we're getting some where. Go out of your way to make others feel special. Did we just tap into something awesome.. I think so. So whoever your people, whatever the gift, make someone feel special. Reach out and enjoy what you are doing for others. Rekindle those lost friendships and those laughs you shared. Shit, take a trip to see them, I don't care. Just remember, do it for them.

REFLECTION: I hope you all did something for someone else in your own way. I hope that those deeds made someone's else week and you might even were able to get some gratification from it! I know I sure did. Personally, I sent out two gifts. One to an old guy friend and one to an old girl friend. I hope they enjoyed the gifts! I did not write who it was from it on it. Additionally, it was Saturday morning and I had just finished a beautiful ocean swim. The weather was good, the water temperature was perfect, the whole atmosphere was just awesome on this Saturday morning. So I wanted to share the love. I figured one easy way to do that was to Venmo so people. So I randomly went down my Venmo list and just started sending out dollars to people. I think I did it to around 20 people maybe and it was honestly super fun. It's just money right? It was rewarding in a selfless way. A few people responded right away via text, a few venmo'ed me back two dollars, a few liked my payments, and a few commented directly. Whatever their avenue, they were all positive responses, and I'm glad I could just put a smile on their face on a random Saturday. This week was definitely a success for me and I hope you all felt the same way!
