Today is my 39th Birthday. Yea me. To me my Birthday is just another day. The same as all the rest. This year however I have decided to do something with my Birthday. From the inspiration of my fellow photographer and friend Kelly Scaccia I spent my Birthday (with Jocelyne) doing 39 random acts of kindness throughout Sudbury. Sudbury has been good to me. I am fortunate and I wanted to give something back to the community. Thanks to everyone that passed on the “Random Acts Of Kindness” (RAOK) as a Birthday wish to me. Here are some pics from todays excursions. (Taken with my phone)
