Committing to unexpected kindness as a life practice sounds like a wonderful thing to do. Thanks, Havi, for this lovely and inspiring post! Josianes last blog post..Creative vegan tip of the day!

Havi: I enjoyed your post. We need a little more unexpected kindness in the world and it all starts with all of us. You also bring out an important point - noticing kindness. There's probably more kindness out there than we realize, probably because we notice the mean, negative, and annoying first. Nonetheless, all kindness in any way should be appreciated.

Havi, thank you. Really and truly. Thank you.

Having serious craptastic week. Sixteen colleagues laid off two days ago. I now have more responsibility for less pay.

Like I said, craptastic.

So craptastic that I’ve not been here in several days. Then I tell myself this morning, “You NEED Havi and Selma. Go read her blog no matter who is banging at the door and ringing the phone. They can wait.”

I came.

I read.

I nearly cried (there’s no crying at work).

Kindness. You’ve given it to me today in this blog.

Thank you.

This is a great post and a great reminder to all of us not only to put more kindness out into the world, but also to notice it when it pops up in our lives. Someone going the extra mile to provide great customer service or to offer a helping hand can come as a surprise. It seems that more and more, we get caught up in the hussle of life and don't take the time to acknowledge the human being in front of us. But I've always found that the more I put kindness out into the world, the more it returns back to me (or maybe, the more I notice it.) Thanks again for sharing. darrahs last blog post..slice of life tuesday: 60 seconds of joy

Yes, you've planted many seeds of unexpected kindness right here on this blog. I mean how many other places are you given to be yourself and still be supported and expected to succeed? That's why this blog is special. It makes it's readers feel like we're all beautiful, unique people in our own right without having to go out of our way to become something we're not.

Great, great post! I love the idea of weaving “unexpected kindnesses” into your activities. It’s the little things that really do make a big difference.

Tears came to my eyes when I read about the good things that my piles and stacks and collections of things say about me. Thank you. Because each of those things has meaning to me. Someone else probably sees it all as garbage, but I see possibilities in it. RhondaLs last blog post.."The Horse Boy" â€“ Book Review
