SLer Harlow Heslop Says: Pay it Forward to Another SLer

Harlow Heslop has launched a great Pay it Forward Project, encouraging SLers to take some time to praise and help other SLers:

Each week I will pick one person in the Second Life community that I feel has displayed a positive attitude and an overall kind nature that week. I will then offer to do a free portrait for them!

She wants other SLers to join the pay it forward chain however they see fit: "Whether you are a designer, blogger, photographer, or just someone who enjoys what the Second Life community as to offer…GET INVOLVED. Pick someone weekly... show them how you appreciate them, whether it be a small gift, a photo, or a kind word, it does not matter. Then as you have done, encourage them to pay it forward to someone else."

Read more about paying it forward here. And I'll pay it forward by praising Harlow Heslop for coming up with Pay it Forward.

I've met many people in SL who have been kind, helpful, and good friends. They're not high profile enough to get noticed in an awards way, but I think they're happy with themselves.

But those who need to give and take awards for kindness, now have a place to find them.

Thanks so much Hamlet :) Excited to see people take part in this. <3

I can say that it was just such a "pay it forward" event when I had only been in Second Life about a month that changed my (second) life (thank you, Cheyenne!), especially after a creepy encounter with someone who wanted me to join a "Stepford Wives" group. I'm embarrassed to say that it's been a while since I've paid it forward myself, but I will keep an eye open for future opportunities.
