Bloggers Unite for Good
Mark you calendars for December 17th when Bloggers will Unite and ACT.
I’m not talking about Shakespearian acting but each of us doing an act of goodness and kindness and then blogging about it.
What If instead of 15,000 blog posts we unite together and each of us does something kind and then blogs about it, how much more powerful and positive will our impact be when we act?
It’s the holidays. It doesn’t matter how big or how small your act of kindness is. All that matters is that we unite as bloggers on December 17th and each do something kind and then come back and share our experiences on our blogs.
Be creative, take photos, display the letter you wrote or the email you sent, show a video of yourself painting someone’s house, bringing some less fortunate a meal or gift. Share the smiles you create by capturing it in a photo or a poem…..then share your experience with the rest of us.
To spread the word and perhaps change the world even more …. let’s start a meme. Over the next month tag bloggers with the idea. There is plenty of time to rally together and make a major difference in the lives of thousands of people.
Finally to make this really fun and increase all our traffic, when we blog about what we did, link to another blogger’s post. This way we will connect these acts of kindness showing a unity among bloggers that has never been seen before.
What do you think? Please share your thoughts and ideas on this thread.

What a wonderful idea! I try to live my daily life in this way and know that when we pass on kindness, it does multiply in ways beyond our wildest imagination. I am excited about the possibility of making a significant impact on December 17.

I love it when people think about ways to make a positive difference. That’s creativity at its best.

Great idea! Someone should connect this thread to helpothers.org where dozens of new stories are posted everyday. And the idea of Smile Cards is also a great one, to keep the kindness rippling in the world.
