A milestone was achieved this evening - this blog reached 10,000 hits!!!!
And yes, that is something to celebrate! I am HAPPY that it has had that many views. And yet... I am also a little bit saddened by it. Part of me says, "Only 10,000 hits. Sigh." I know that this feeling comes from the fact that my other blog, my silly little project where I review products from Trader Joe's (Trader Joe's 365), has SO MANY more views (over 225,000 - but yes, it is one year older than this blog). I can't help but compare the two. I mean, folks, that blog reviews stuff from a grocery store... It is not exactly life changing. Sure, it is fun to read about Trader Joe's, but (in my mind) it is not nearly as important as reading about KINDNESS.
I truly believe that if more people read about kindness, they would be more likely to ACT KIND. To spread kindness in their communities. Not only that - when you read about kindness, it is somehow on your radar as you go about your day and you are more "OPEN" to it, alert to it, seeking it out!
So yes - I am happy that this blog may have inspired 10,000 eyeballs (well, I guess that is actually around 20,000 eyeballs since the vast majority of readers probably have 2 of them). But I wish it could do MORE. I wish more people saw it, read it, were inspired by it.
THANK YOU for reading it. If it inspires you, please share it! Tell your friends - be they Facebook friends, Twitter pals, or even real life in the flesh human being friends! You can "follow" the blog by email (there is an area on the right-hand side to do that if you like). You can "like" Kindness Activist on Facebook (I make "kind photos" like the ones in this entry and put them on that FB page). And/or you can follow @KindActivist on Twitter. And you can bookmark the blog if you like: http://kindnessactivist.blogspot.com/
But whatever you do - BE KIND.
