The Vintage Limo Monologues #5: Branching Out

Believe it or not I am very shy. Well, not as much as when I was a kid...I've trained myself to overcome my "shyness instinct"...but sometimes it is hard for me to approach total strangers!

Three days ago I saw an elderly man walking home in the rain so I offered him a limo ride home. It turns out he did not speak English but since I have lived overseas I was able to sign-language him what I meant. At first he did not understand and then pointed to his apartment complex (which was just across the street) but when I explained more what I had been asking he just got the biggest smile on his face! Although it turned out he didn't really need a ride it made me happy knowing that I made him smile and perhaps he feels a bit more welcome in America :)

Another successful charity day for the limo :) I donated a ride to a charity auction and it earned $75.00 for the charity :)

101 Uses for a Vintage LIMO #8: TO CHEER SOMEONE UP

My favorite thing about owning a Limo is that I can offer up "random acts of kindness" by giving people rides. It is so unusual and wonderful to get treated like royalty with a ride in a limo but it is too expensive to offer this as a gift to people. I feel blessed I can offer this as a gift for only the price it costs me for gas :) I have been giving a lot of people their FIRST limo rides!

There was a friend of Sofi's who was in the hospital for 2 weeks with pneumonia and ended up having surgery as well. She missed 2 weeks of school. Sofi thought that on her first day back she should get a ride to her school in the Limo. It ended up being her 2nd day back, but it was fun for her sister and her to get picked up and dropped off by a Limo at school that day. "Mom" said they were looking forward to it all weekend.

It is these small acts of kindness that make a difference in my life - I want to bring these to as many people as I can.
