I’m trying to make the world a better place by randomly giving away jewelry to remind people that they are special. The winner can either keep the jewelry or give it away. To enter the contest just read the rules & leave a comment/trackback or link to a blog post with a reason with humanity doesn’t suck or who you would give this piece of jewelry to. The prize this week is a 17″ liquid silver “Y” Necklace with white freshwater pearls.
The rules are:
One entry per person per week. Contestants should be over 18 & live in the lower 48 states.
The winner is drawn by a random number generator at 6pm Mountain Time on Friday.
If you have already won a piece of jewelry you can win again but only if you give the jewelry away at random. Also, please don’t sell the jewelry.
Stumbles & links are appreciated but not required.
I will pay the shipping costs.
The comment/trackback/link to a blog post should contain a random act of kindness or who you will give this piece away to if you win.

The most amazing thing happened to me this week. I’m a freshman at college, and I’ve been here for about 6 weeks. So when it was time for a test, I was a good student and made myself notecards to study from. It took up nearly all of my Sunday afternoon, and since my test was on Tuesday, I gave myself the rest of the night off, since I would be studying all afternoon monday, and in between classes.
Well, as I was walking between buildings monday morning, my notes dissappeared. After dumping my bookbag on a nearby table, I frantically retraced my steps. No notecards. I check at every building I’d been to, and my dorm as well. There is no possible way that I could remake all these notecards and still have time to study them.
As I walk into the lunch room a little later, my four friends that I’ve only known for 6 weeks can see I’m on the brink of tears. When I tell them what’s wrong, I’ve never been so suprised. They all started planning on helping me remake my cards. They had their own homework to get done. Two of them had their own tests to study for. But instead of sympathizing and moving on with their own issues, they sat and helped me rewrite all of my notes.
The fact that they were willing to give up part of their study time to help me meant the world to me. It gives me hope that the world sucks a little less because of them. Without them, I wouldn’t have passed my test with an A, and probably would have had a meltdown. When I told one of them that later, she just smiled. “That’s just what you do,” she said. “It’s not about favors or repaying something. You do what you can, when you can, because we’re humans - not to mention friends, - that’s just what you do.”
It’s a good idea, I think.

I would give it to my mother. She has the flair of an artist and loves jewelry.

My mother loves pearls. Her birthday is this month and she is also having knee surgery. So, this would be a great gift for her.

What a wonderful ‘giving’ attitude from these new found friends. It’s too bad that more people don’t think on htis level. My Mom always told me to never take more than you can give- “that’s just what you do”.

I’ve always hated the fact that it always takes a person dying for people to snap into action, someone can be fighting a disease for a long period of time and their family members recieve no help during the ordeal, only help afterward in order to clean up the pieces.
Recently a friend of mine’s husband was diagnosed with cancer. He died Monday. I was shocked to learn that while he was sick was when she recieved the most support from her friends and community.
I appreciate the people who show humanity doesn’t suck by giving when it’s not expected and caring when they having nothing to gain.
