It’s the end of another month already and time for another burst of inspirational sharing for my contribution to the the #WATWB – We are the World Blogest, where several writers have joined in to share an inspirational post to reflect on some of the good things being done in the world.
Today I’m sharing a wonderful project I came across where bright orange signs of kindness are sprouting up in America. The project began in Raleigh, North Carolina when the local news caught wind of it, the story was covered, giving it much deserved attention. The idea is to purchase a sign with a donation that can be placed on your lawn or windows to remind people about kindness, despite their opinions on politics or religion.
” Signs for Good is a new project aiming to plant these orange signs in yards or windows around the country. That simple message — Do Good, Be Kind, Change the World — reminds people that there are some things we can all agree on, even in a time where finding common ground can be difficult. It’s a message that can resonate with folks of any religion or political affiliation; from any walk of life.” Please visit the whole article HERE
You can click on This Link – Sign for Good to find out how to get yours with an $8 donation. “Proceeds from Signs for Good donations support Activate Good’s mission to activate volunteers to help charitable causes in our local community.”
Your hosts this month for the #WATWB are Eric Lahti, Inderpreet Uppal, Shilpa Garg, Sylvia Stein,and Peter Nena . You can join in this effort by sharing a post about something good going on in the world you’ve come across and adding the link to your post HERE.
Debby, thank you so much for sharing this article about Signs for Good! Wow! This is inspirational and uplifting and truly shows the power of the ripple effect when not only has this spread across the US but also abroad! I’m beaming away and feel like signing up for a board! The power of kindness should never be underestimated … kudos to all involved. With a sign or not, may we all spread kindness every day of our lives. Xx

Great idea. Most of us can agree on this but we have to move from theory and signs to action. May more and more of that happen.

Agreed Elaine. Even so, what we become familiar with becomes behavior. Signs are a good start to keep reminding people about kindness. 🙂

What a fabulous project and a fabulous website, Debby. I love what they are on about. I was looking for a button to follow their blog but couldn’t find one, which is disappointing. I have liked their Facebook page but I am more likely to catch up with an email notification than something in the FB feed. Thanks so much for sharing.
