The concept of paying it forward basically means that when you are the recipient of a kind act, instead of paying back the person who helped you, (by helping them in their time of need) you extend an act of kindness to someone else in their time of need, thus paying it forward. So it's like you become indebted and you have to find someone else to help in order to be whole again. This concept came from a book that was published in 2000, followed by a movie that dealt with this topic in detail and made the saying famous.
I am a believer in “paying it forward”. I have been very blessed so after some serious contemplation a couple of years ago I created a way to “pay it forward” by creating a local Extreme Image Design Makeover sponsored by myself and Color Connection. We recently culminated our second annual event with the two winners of our makeovers. The two women, Liz and Rhonda, began their year long experience here at Color Connection with their personalized image designs complete with color analysis, makeup artistry with their harmonious cosmetics and facials with our toxic free skin care. But the adventure didn’t stop there.
Confident with their new images, we linked with area businesses who offered these two lucky women body massage, scalp massage, hydro massage, 90 days of a fitness program, hair care, extensive dental work, spray tans, poise consulting, emotional release therapy, and a self improvement program, among other services. Local clothing stores donated undergarments and discounts on other clothing. Armed with their Signature ColorPrints™, Liz and Rhonda were able to find several pieces of clothing from which their stunning outfits were created.
Although arranging these services took a big chunk of time, the end result was well worth the efforts. It was a tearful experience as they were presented on stage at the recent What Today’s Women Want Expo.
We at Color Connection will continue to offer this gift to area women and will share tidbits with you throughout the year. We would like for you to feel part of this heartwarming experience.
Please share your “pay it forward” experiences.
