Ashley Jost bought a paperback self-help book at Target. “Girl,
Stop Apologizing” by Rachel Hollis turned out to be even more helpful that Ashley
had expected. When she got the book home and opened it up, a five-dollar bill
fell out. Inside was this note, “To the person who buys this book: I am having
a tough day. I thought maybe I could brighten someone else’s with this little
surprise. Go buy a coffee, a doughnut or a face mask. Practice some self-care
today. Remember that you are loved, you are amazing, you are strong. – Lisa” Ashley
decided to share her happy surprise on Twitter, where it has inspired others to
pay it forward. “In that moment,” she says, “I didn't necessarily need the pick-me-up,
but I felt obligated to share it, and I'm hearing back from people who did. The
ripple effect is pretty incredible.”
