Hey, my Facebook friends, I hope you're doing great. You're having a great week. I want to do something fun and I want to do something fun around helping others. And you may know of my New York Times best selling book, Having It All. And what I want to do is do something that we've done in the past, but I really want to spread the word and have a little bit of fun. So here's what it's called. It's called a random act of kindness. What I want you to do starting tomorrow, which is Friday, is do one or two or three random acts of kindness where you maybe buy somebody's lunch that doesn't expect it or pay for somebody's toll or go to somebody's house and help them do some cleaning up or somebody who needs some help or somebody who just is in your world that you have a chance to do a random act of kindness. If you post your random act of kindness by, let's say, Monday at 5:00 o' clock Pacific time, Monday, 5:00 clock Pacific. I'm going to choose five winners and I'm going to send you my book. I'll sign it for you. I'll give you a big Internet hug. And guess what? Together we'll make a big difference in the lives of many people. I'm going to do a random act of kindness or two or three. I want you to participate with me. Tell your friends, let's choose some really neat things. We've done this in the past. It's made a huge difference in people's lives. Let's have some fun. Thanks. And have a phenomenal weekend.
