Did I pay it forward?

2012:
Not really.. but tried to. I have older version of CS5 that I don't need anymore because I've got CS6 now. I tried to give it away to Darcy, but mine is Mac version and she has PC, so that didn't work. I have offered at lower price to others if anyone wants it.
Update: I did end up giving it away (free) to Darcy's friend that had Mac.

2013:
Now that kids have new phones, their old Android phones are our spare phones in case something happens to their current phones. I'm planning to mail one to Darcy so that she can use it as test phone for her font program.

2018:
It's only 7AM, but I think I've done some bit of it. I'm part of The Miracle Morning FB group and Chaitali was looking for accountability partner to wake up at 4 and I volunteered to check in with her every morning. As I was talking to her this morning, I told me to keep sharing my 'inspiring stories'. It does make you feel good to know you're making a difference in someone's life. I've only known her for a week, but hopefully it will be a lifelong friendship? I'd be honored to provide some kind of mentorship to her. She has young kids of 2.5 and 5 yrs of age.
