THE KIND-HEARTED BLOGGER CAMPAIGN


  BACKGROUND:

after experiencing some not-so-nice behavior in the blogging community, I decided to take a stand.  I have always been the kind of person to take a negative situation, and try to turn it into a learning opportunity.  It is either the product of being a social worker, or the reason I became one--whichever came first, I don't know.

I also provide training workshops on personal and organizational accountability.  sounds boring I know, but it's actually very helpful in life.  it's about recognizing and taking responsibility in what you can and cannot change.  If you see or are experiencing something you do not agree with, and you do not do what is in your power to change it--then you are also part of the problem.

I was recently involved (I don't like the word "victim") in a situation that was hurtful.  I got angry about it, I lost interest in blogging, I blamed.  but then I thought, "what can I do to change this?"  I can speak from my heart, and I can make an effort to be mindful of not doing the same to others.  and, even better I can hope that others will join in and do the same.

and so the "kind-hearted blogger" campaign was born.



 AS A KIND-HEARTED BLOGGER I PLEDGE TO:

  • create, inspire, and admire rather than compete with fellow bloggers
  • be understanding of each other-- in the blogging community, as well as in the world
  • stay away from internet/blogging bullying
  • speak my opinion freely, while still being mindful of other's feelings-- be tactful.
  • make an effort--no matter how big or small the gesture, to spread kindness or joy to others
  • acknowledge that I will make mistakes, (I am only human) but remember to learn from them
  • know that at times I will post about the negative stuff in life, and maybe even some complaining (I am only human) but I will always follow up with something happy/positive too.
  • believe that this world is a good place, filled with good people.

    FEEL FREE TO JOIN IN (let me know if you do so I can link you)








    also, make sure to take a look at my blog pal lindsay's wonderful post on kindness. it's beautiful, and perfect, and I feel so honored to have contributed a small part to it.

    Although posted a good few months ago i'd like to take this pledge. I think we all want to better ourselves as bloggers and some people go the wrong way about it. This is a step in the right direction and I hope a lot of people realise this.

    I'm going to post about this and your blog over the weekend and add the button today and i'd love to include a quote from you, if you have the time of course. I'd love to tell my readers how it has been working for you and how you feel about the huge response you've had.

    My email is abbzzw@hotmail.co.uk if you'd like to get in touch :) xx

    I take this pledge! I stumbled across this on a friends blog and it really struck me. This is such a clever idea and I love the reminder added in about how we are only human and we all have bad days but the importance of a positive follow up is needed. When you step back and think about that its very true and also reminds me to just try and be positive no matter what.

    Hi Jo Annie,

    I happened to stumble on your Kind-Hearted Campaign post and I thought it was such a great idea. What you're doing is great and I stand behind your message 100 percent. I too have come across the negative effects of blogging and it can be hurtful. I've realized that people have their own opinions and not everyone is going to love you. At the end of the day, I write because I enjoy blogging and I have a voice. I love the good but I'll take the bad and the ugly because without that, how can I face challenges, learn from my mistakes, and become better at what i do?

    Thanks for doing this and I'm thrilled to see so many other blogs behind this campaign spreading the message.

    Wonderful post and wonderful blog!

    I took the pledge!

    I have just taken the pledge and added the button to my blog. It's a great idea, to try and keep the internet a safer and more understanding place. I have often thought that people say things online, that they wouldn't say face to face, in a conversation.

    My blog:

    Hello Joanne:

    This pledge is amazing. Is very sad that we have to claim people to be kind and honest knowing that we as humans have all the ability to treat and respect others.

    We loved your pledge and we are gonna be part of it!

    Best regards

    Hi there,

    This pledge is great and I would love to take it! I am new to the blogging world, and am loving it thus far, but would like to know more about the proper ethics of it all (ie. what can I repost, how do I properly credit the creator etc.). Does anyone out there know about any sort of "blogging course" one can sign up for?

    Thanks for starting such a great pledge.

    see if you think i deserve to have the button. Cool that you have things like this.

    Laura said...

    I'm still relatively new to blogging but in my short time in this community, I've felt largely overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity that defines so many talented bloggers. I received a very hurtful comment on one of my posts about a month ago and, after trying to refute the commenter's arguments and prove that my motives were pure, I received more upsetting comments. I was shocked by this uncharacteristic meanness, even more so that it came from some anonymous reader who was not brave enough to stand confidently behind their comments. To me, the Kind-Hearted Blogger campaign is a great effort to keep blogging as it should be and as it largely is - a warm, welcoming, encouraging, and supportive virtual community. Thank you for starting and spreading such a positive campaign and for turning something negative into something good.
