This week Mike and I are launching our third #PayitForward Friday and we are SO excited! The first week we purchased flowers from our friends at Minotts Flowers on Free Street here in Portland to be given to a few random customers. Last week we donated $1 for every caller who shared their pay it forward moment to the Red Cross, and THIS week we took to the streets and decided to purchase the order for the car behind us in the Dunkin Donuts drive through!

The momentum on this is growing and we've been so excited to share in YOUR excitement. We've received so many emails from all of you amazing listeners sharing with us how you are choosing to pay it forward, and I can't tell you how heartwarming it has been!

Here are a few examples of  how you could pay it forward today!
