Thank you to 100 Good Deeds for sponsoring today’s post. All opinions are my own. #100GoodDeeds 
What’s the last good deed you did? What about the last good deed someone did for you? Good deeds are defined by Mary Fisher, the designer of the 100 Good Deeds Bracelets, as going out of your way to help someone while remaining anonymous. Good deeds don’t have to be elaborate either. Send someone flowers, pay for the drive through order behind you, or maybe leave food or clothing at the doorstep of a family in need.
The Good Deeds Movement has a fashionable way to inspire random acts of kindness, transform communities, and empower women around the world who create handmade bracelets specifically for 100 Good Deeds.
100 Good Deeds Bracelets
Here’s how it works: Vulnerable women in countries such as Uganda, South Africa and Zambia create the 100 Good Deeds bracelets. You can then purchase a bracelet for $30 at macys.com to track your good deeds easily in a fashionable way. Each bracelet has 100 beads, a 100 Good Deeds charm, and a little tracker ring you move over a bead each time you do a good deed. The bracelets are fully adjustable to fit any wrist size. All of the proceeds for the bracelets go back into the program to continue to empower and support the wonderful women who create them. Simple right? I love the work they are doing at 100 Good Deeds and the message they are spreading.
I was sent three bracelets in exchange for this blog post. One bracelet was for me, one was for someone I know who is the definition of kind, and the third is to giveaway to one of my readers (don’t forget to enter below!)
The brown bracelet above is my bracelet. I put it on to model the different components. Each bracelet comes with instructions on how to wear them and how they work. My suggestion is to loosen the cord to make the bracelet looser when you put it on, then tighten it after it’s on. It was easier to get the proper size for my wrist that way.
100 Good Deeds Bracelet for a Well-deserving Friend
A beautiful soul in my community received the second bracelet. I’ve had the opportunity to get to know Ferial through friends, community events, and I follow her on facebook. She has done numerous amazing things to help make our community, and the world, a better place. When she was a high school teacher at a local school she started the Secret Kindness Agents, who were a group of students going out to do anonymous acts of kindness. She wrote a book about them, and continues to induct new secret kindness agents across our state and as well as across the country.
Members of our community come together through the kindness events Ferial facilitates locally. Other teachers receive support, encouragement and education as Ferial teaches them at University level. Last year she was the Grand Marshall of the Pride Parade thanks to the work she does as an ally to the LGBT community. These are only a few things Ferial has done to make our community a more loving place. If I continued listing things, it would go on for miles. She takes the world into her heart and for that I have great respect for her.

My father in law recently bought me a tshirt that says Super Mom to show me how proud he was of me and how much he appreciates me taking care of his grandbabies. Not to mention, taking great care of his son!
I love hearing how good of a relationship you guys have with him. I hope he can come back and visit again sooner than later!
Oh yeah, we are not doing it every 10 years anymore lol! He’s already planning on coming back next July!
That’s awesome! So glad you guys were able to reconnect.
Our postman carried a large package to the front door (up many steps)!
Postal carriers are pretty dang fantastic. A friend of mine recently left a cooler full of cold drinks by her mailbox for her carrier.
My hubby made me breakfast in bed this week.
Was it for a special occasion or just because? He sounds like a great guy!
My friend bought me a coffee to brighten up my day.
Coffee brightens every day 😉 You have a fantastic friend!
A friend helped me clean up my yard when I was not feeling well.
That’s wonderful! Not that you weren’t feeling well, that gets a thumbs down, but your friend must care a lot about you because yardwork isn’t too much fun (to me at least, lol)
My husband stopped to pick a couple things up from the grocery store for me! It’s the little things! 🙂
Yes! It really is the little things. It always saves me so much time when he can make a trip to the store for me.
I fell off my bike and someone helped me up and helped me collect my belongings.
Those are the moments when I’m happy to see good people willing to help in the world.
My friend came and picked me up two hours away when my car broke down.
That is awesome! I don’t think I could ever leave a friend stranded. If I couldn’t get them I would do everything possible to help find a reliable, safe ride.
I helped my sister clean her house by washing the dishes and cleaning her kitchen.
A friend of mine did this for me when my husband was gone for a year deployment and I had 2 kids under 3 by myself. I don’t remember where I had to be, but I was gone for a few hours and it was clean when I came home. I appreciated it so much! I’m sure your sister appreciated the help too.
Finding some sea glass made my day good
I love sea glass, it’s beautiful!
I’m just back from a trip to Alaska — my mom took me (and her other 2 daughters as well). It was wonderful!
Oh wow, that sounds amazing! I would love to visit Alaska so much to see, do and learn. I would love it!
I receive a lot of help from my family. My brother, SIL, and mom are continuously helping with the kids. Things like child care, clothes, and helping pay for fun and educational activities. Kind of an “it takes a village” mentality while still respecting my parenting style/choices. It really means a lot to us and our kids 🙂
Your family is amazing! I love that you are surrounded by so much support. It makes my heart happy 🙂
I helped my mom clean her house.
I bet she appreciated that. I would love it if my kids helped me clean the house, lol
It’s the least I can do. She deserves the best.
Best response ever!! Your mom is lucky to have you <3
None lately
I hope that changes for you soon!
I was shopping and was paying for a purchase in cash. The total included 10 cents. I told the cashier I would have to dig in my purse to find 10 cents, and handed him another dollar. The extra change back would not have been a big deal to me – and it was not as if I am hurting for the 10 cents, but a young girl behind me said, quickly, “I have a dime!” and handed over the extra change! I promised to pay it forward, and I have, several times over.
Awesome! Once I offered to do that for someone in McDonalds and she shooed me off, lol. It’s the thought that counts but not everyone wants the help. I’m sure she had a good reason for not accepting my help and I respect her for it. Saying no is sometimes hard to do.
I was buying a toilet seat at the hardware store and the kids were being unmanageable. My friend who has Parkinsons was also shopping at the store. He helped me pay for the toilet seat and help me get it to the car and then get the kids in the car.
Helping someone with kids can be a great thing, I agree. Love my kids, but some days, mentally I can’t handle it and I know my kids are done with the day as well. Having understanding people in our lives is a wonderful thing.
The last good deed someone did for me was pay for my dinner while I was waiting in the drive thru line at Taco Bell.
What a wonderful gift!
There was a puppy in the road that got loose from someone’s pen that we know, it was a baby beagle and was about to get hit. We stopped the car and got it just before getting hit and took it back to its owner.
Thankful you were able to save that puppy! You are amazing!
