After the week I had...I am so happy to know that there are good, good people in the world. I was thrilled when a little birdie mentioned her friends' success (which of course can be measured in not just shoes but heaps of good will and general happiness) with a project she is doing called 'Operation Nice.' The founder is the sweet Melissa of Melissa Head design. The premise is simple-- 'Wouldn't the world be a better place if we all tried to be a little nicer, polite, kind, gracious..?' Operation Nice covers 'good news' (what a concept!), They feature 'nice' stuff, they have 'nice' downloads and it's generally a feel good pit stop on the pretty procrastination highway.
I am in mad LOVE with this idea as I try to be nice most of the timeand wish that others would follow suit. In fact I mentioned to my friend that my co-worker and I were going to kill our boss...with kindness. It really works almost every time. To do my part for the 'op' to spread the word and be a nicer person I created some 'nice' cards. They are the size of a business card and the idea is you can leave them with whomever you feel needs and deserves a little niceness. You don't have to use them as cards, although it could be nice to leave a personal note on the back of card, print them on adhesive paper and stick them to some lucky individuals lunch bag at the office, or on your outgoing mail (I bet the IRS would be pleased to see how nice you are!) You're creative, just get out there and be nice...
