I'm introducing The Kindness Chronicles, created by my friends art Lyric and Jane. I have been inspired by this ongoing project and plan to share it with you all in the hopes that you will be inspired as well. -- deborah
Lyric Kinard:
In December we were focusing on making the world a better place through simple
on my blog. http://lyrickinard.blogspot.com/
When I was interviewed by Rice Freeman-Zachary the project for her podcast, she asked if it was going to become an ongoing project. I hadn't thought too much about it. I really do try to keep service in mind all the time so I didn't think of it as a "project" but of course I'd love to keep it going.
Leave it to a go-getter like Jane LaFazio to push me into getting things done. Or
actually, to go ahead and make plans and get things done whether I've got my
rear in gear or not. She put together this beautiful button and suggested that
we post on the first Sunday of every month, telling about some of the little
acts of service we've done. We're not trying to brag - at all - just give you all
more ideas that you can try as well. Really - it's fun to do little things that
brighten someone's day.
Jane LaFazio:
The Kindness Chronicles was inspired by my friend, Lyric Kinard’s series of blog posts in December, with the theme of "Making the World a better place with the joy of service and finding beauty in kindness," I'm starting a monthly post call The Kindness Chronicles. On the first Sunday of every month, I'll write a post about simple random acts of kindness. I'll write about what I've done, not in a
bragging way, but to hopefully inspire you, dear reader, to do similar kinds of
things. Just being conscious of those small acts, I hope, will encourage you to
do more of them. Smile at strangers. Give compliments freely. Let someone ahead of you in line. Buy coffee for someone you don't know. Give a handout, a
blanket, a sandwich to a homeless person. Give someone a flower. Offer a
discount. http://janeville.blogspot.com/
So stay tuned. I just want to be kinder and encourage more kindness in the world. Maybe we can start a trend
