em jay & me: THE KIND-HEARTED BLOGGER CAMPAIGN

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.

Silverfaerie said...: Heard about this on the Wild Yet Zenful blog by J.Lynn (my niece) and I think it's a great idea.

I have been blogging since May and have luckily experienced only wonderful greatness from fellow bloggers. I really don't see why there would be any need for competitiveness or rudeness. A blog is an expression of it's author which means that each one has it's own special qualities to offer.

I'll be adding a post about this in the next couple of days and will definitely add the button today.

I am fairly new to blogging so I didn't realise blogger bullying went on. There is enough rubbish and badness in the world without it overflowing into an area of our lives that is meant to bring creativity, happiness and joy.
