Everyone has a special mug
Yes it’s true I have managed to keep a mug in perfect condition for over sixteen years! It is probably the longest standing mug in my life as I am prone to chipping them from time to time. However this is no ordinary mug oh no! This is the mug that would see me initiated into the ‘cult’ that was started by Englishman Danny Wallace a filmmaker, comedian, writer, actor and presenter.
In 2002 Danny Wallace accidently started a ‘cult’ when he was bored. He placed an ad in a local paper asking people to ‘join me’. Within months he had received several letters from people but he didn’t foresee that it would blow up to ‘cult’ size proportions. In order to join you had to send a snapshot photograph sent in an envelope with you stating you wanted to become a ‘joinee’.
In 2003 his book titled ‘Join me’ was published. It became a global movement to spread kindness. The cult rules were simple, every Friday every ‘joinee’ member had to commit to doing one random act of kindness to a stranger. The movement became known later as ‘The Karma Army’ you may have heard of it!
