As I scrolled through Facebook today, passing over all the super negative, depressing, complaints. I found a post that I just couldn’t scroll past. Perhaps its because 2017 has been a horrific year of epic proportions, or that the heading “100 Good Deeds in 2017” speaks to my inner hope for a struggling man kind right now. Whatever the reason, I just had to see what my friend Steve Silverman was up to.

From the post, I could see that Steve was on good deed #5, and I already had so many questions. So, I sent him a quick message and proceed to do a little Facebook page stalking. He’s on #5! What is #4? #3? #2? #1? Is this a group? Something he created? Something he is following? I had to know more!

Steve responded pretty quickly. This is just something he came up with himself. Last year, a small group of his friends on Facebook started a Good Deeds Club. They would pick something or someone who needed help and they started doing good deeds monthly. Then in November, right after the election, when all of his friends lost their collective minds on facebook, he started putting up teacher campaigns from Donors Choose. A short five weeks later, they had helped finish funding for 100 of the projects. ONE HUNDRED! That’s pretty amazing! Everyone kept asking Steve, “What are we doing next?” So he started this “100 Good Deeds in 2017” a few short days ago. He’s been making them up as he goes along. It’s generally free stuff you can do right after you read what he has posted. Steve stated, “I truly believe that we all have good in us and there is power in small doses as much as larger ones. I am just trying to put out some positive in this world”.

I had to let Steve know that his “small” gesture put such a positive, bright spin on my day. Courage is contagious, as well as positivity. I hope that you all are as inspired by “100 Good Deeds in 2017” as I am. Steve is looking for 100 people to join him in 100 good deeds. Perhaps you can take a momentt to check out his page and be inspired. Check out the first 5 good deeds in 2017 below.

I’m looking for (at least) 100 friends to join me in doing 100 good deeds. Jim and I went into the closet (insert joke here) and bagged up all the clothes we haven’t worn in months. Here’s how you come in: I need ONE of you reading this right now to go to get a bag and go to your closet and grab those shirts, shoes, etc and bag em up.
