I have just been reading some articles about another chap who is completing 'a year of kindness' too called Luke Cameron. I have really enjoyed reading his blog - The Good Deed Diary. I am inspired and happy that there are other people out there as passionate about being kind as I am! However, I am really upset that people have been so nasty about what we are doing. I feel that they have totally missed the point. I tweeted Luke to say keep going and that what he is doing is amazing. I started the 'year of kindness' after many years of thinking I wanted to be kinder and that I wanted to see more kindness around me in a harsh world. I spent quite some time thinking about why I would be embarking on the challenge - ultimately I wanted to be the change I wanted to see... Ghandi first said that. Saying that I didn't want it just to stay with me, I wanted to encourage others to do the same and show people it is easy to be kind... there are many free ways to be kind that we can all do. Ultimately then, if many of us are trying to be kind then surely the world has got to turn into a better place. Well that's my hope anyway. Also, ultimately this year has been great, but certainly not without its challenges. To say that we want attention is wrong, ultimately there are easier ways to do that. Also, the year has changed me as a person so really its been so much more than a project for me. I am going to continue on with my year and look to my next project to start to try and make a difference in 2015...
