The Virtual Me at the new Heart Cart in "A Better World" |
My journey using Facebook as been a slow one over the past year. I have gone from refusing to use it, to using it to connect with my friends, to implementing a Fan Page for FREEISMYLIFE. Now I cannot imagine life without Facebook.
So this week, I took my Facebook journey one step further when I started playing the Facebook game A Better World which is game from @ToonUps. A Better World reminds me of the game "Animal Crossing" where you setup a home in your own virtual world and then shop, earn money, and interact with the people in the town where you live.
When I entered the game, I was able to make my virtual self look like my real self by choosing skin color, hair color, nose, eyes, clothing - the works. Then I was given some money and let loose to build my life. But the really great thing about A Better World is that you earn money from doing good! Yep, you earn Do Good Gold and Better Bucks by performing acts of kindness.
There are many ways to earn by doing good in A Better World. You can go to Gratitude Grotto and write notes about all the things for which you are thankful. You can go to the post office and write Positive Posts to your friends containing words of kindness. And you can play Three Cycle, a recycling game. My favorite is Thumping Thoughts where you get to take a mallet and hit all your negative thoughts over the head. The faster you thump those negative thoughts, the more Do Good Gold you earn. You can then use your earnings to buy things for your home or clothing and accessories.

I made sure to send out lots of fun and friendly hearts to my friends today since everyone needs a kind thought or a little love to make their day.
So if you have not already played A Better World, take a look at the game today. And make sure you send out some Valentine Day love from the Heart Cart. You just might help make someone's day.
Enjoy!
Disclosure: I received a gift card from ToonUps as a thank you for participating in the "A Better World" Heart Cart campaign.
