Happy Stones maken, vinden en volgen
Echt leuk, vorige week vond ik op straat een hele mooie steen. De steen was van Happy Stones Den Haag. En de steen kan je opzoeken op Facebook. Ik heb een foto gemaakt en laten weten waar de steen is op de Facebook groep aan de maker. En ik heb de steen buiten laten liggen, om te zien hoe lang het zou duren voordat de steen weer ging reizen.
Je kan dus een Happy Stone maken
Verstop de steen in jouw buurt en wacht tot iemand de steen vindt, dat kan gewoon thuis, af en toe Facebook checken.

Pay it Forward toch? Ieders dagje een beetje blijer maken, grenzeloos.

In Uganda there was malaria, dengue and several other bugs, but if we sprayed ourselves with DEET and swallowed our malarone every day, everything was fine and it didn't matter at all.
