em jay & me: THE KIND-HEARTED BLOGGER CAMPAIGN

Wednesday, July 28, 2010

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.

If I'm not overstepping my bounds as a newbie, I'd like to suggest an addition to the pledge. I've been participating in a lot of blog hops/twitter hops/facebook hops and there's been an ccurrence that troubles me. On more than once occasion, someone will visit and become a follower only to unfollow after I follow them back. It's happened more than once and I noticed it's been popping up on some of the forums I visit. I know karma will win in the end, but thought I'd throw it out there anyway.; April 1, 2011 at 7:45 PM

tia said...: I am so delightfully happy and grateful that you have done something like this. I have a friend who I feel "competes" with my every move and I just can't stand it. My idea's become hers but bigger and better, my blogger friends become hers and well, its obvious but she tries way too hard and it hurts.

I am snagging a button and taking the pledge. Thank you so much. You have inspired me lady. you rock!

Paulina Mo, lilbitsofchic.com said...: It's just what the blogosphere needed :) I guess as a newer blogger I haven't experienced that negativity but I have seen unkind words in some of the popular blogs. I couldn't believe people could be so mean, or that they were dedicating their time to send something negative. The world could go without that negativity and could benefit from kindness. I have put your banner on my page just to confirm what I told myself coming into this, that I will only spread positivity, support, and affirm other bloggers' talents :)

Thank you for such a wonderful campaign and hopefully this will become something BIGGER :)

Redo 101 said...: I took the pledge and proudly display your button now on my blog - I believe the main purpose in my blogging is to spread the love and share the joy among other bloggers. I "follow" nearly every blog I visit - and why not? It doesn't hurt me and it only helps the other blogger. And I try to always leave a kind, encouraging comment. Everyone needs encouragement. All of us. What a great (blogging) world it would be if everyone encouraged everyone else!!! Thanks for doing this.

mamasmental said...: This happened to me and I didnt blog for months, it was over something stupid but it really cut deep. My blog is a diary for my baby so I have a feeling of guilt for letting him down by letting them get to me. And it makes it hard to put yourself back out there in blog world for fear of getting bopped again... I love this and thanks for being brave xxxx

Its a wonderful Idea. The blogging world can be sometimes a very shallow one. Touch wood I've not been subjected to nastiness or such like yet but I have seen it and heared it.

Beautiful Idea. We need more people like this in the world. :) <3 x

Holly said...: I love your pledge! I've added your button to my "visit my friends" page. Can you add me to the list of participants?

I've also just started a meme called "Pay It Forward". I'll be posting it for the second time this Tuesday. It fits right in with your pledge.

Time and time again, I’ve wanted the blogging world to meet someone I’ve met, or read something I’ve read. That’s what this blog meme is all about, “Pay It Forward.” Instead of keeping all these great finds and great friends to myself, or you keeping your great finds and great friends to yourself, we spread the LUV. Sharing the Good News, great tips, wonderful prayers, fabulous photos, scrumptious recipes, hilarious humor, unbelievable books, stories of goodwill, or whatever good knocks your socks off … with one another. I’d love to have you join in the fun, “Pay It Forward,” to those~other bloggers~you admire and appreciate, and I hope we’ll get to know each other along the way.; June 4, 2011 at 8:24 PM
