How to pay it foward by inner guru

"Pay it Forward (the movie) gave ice cream to a part of me that felt hungry and made it say ahhhhh yummy!"

How I did it: Since I was 10 years old I've lived the Pay it Forward philosophy. 

It started when I wrote my 1st book. To be candid, I don't even 
remember what the book was about, but I wrote it and 
made hundreds of construction paper covered copies and 
sold them for real money.

During the distribution of my little 8 page book 'help' came out
of nowhere. The money to print it appeared. It sold itself.  
Everybody that was approached, bought one or more.

I was proud that my book sold. Everything just
worked in my favour. It was magnificent in every way except
that since the 'help' came from no visible person or place -
I couldn't thank or pay 'back' anyone.  

That's when it occurred to me to Pay it Forward. The proceeds
from the sales were used to fund the support a foster child in 
a developing country.

I've been Paying it Forward ever since.

When I saw the Helen Hunt (can't remember the names of the other actors)
it felt like a hungry part of me had been given ice cream and
made it say ahhhhhh!
