too much kindness?

Of course not!  I mean, could there really be too much kindness?  It's not like too much chocolate or laughing too (both of which are very rare!).

I have to say that since I started blogging about kindness, and particularly now during the season of being grateful and giving to others, I have been slightly overwhelmed by the occasions and reports of kindness that have come across my radar.

Honestly, there is so much more to report and relay than I can handle.  It's all good, of course, because there can't really be too much kindness, but if anyone would like to help, I would happily share the kindness beat.

Kat, are you interested?  You have a full plate, I know....but you are always inspiring me with your thoughtful attention to detail and finds like:  kindness in the classroom.  Or Ria, the net-savviest, momma-marketer I know, maybe you'd like to guest-contribute with your many kindness spottings like how to tag your blog as a "kind" blog (which I still need to do!) or spotting mommy-blog features on kindness (which I still need to do, too :).

Or maybe you (who ever you are) would like to help me report on acts of kindness.  The more we know about the goodness around us, the more we feel it and then, ultimately, the more we spread it!  Please contact me if you have the time and inclination to help:  (emma@actsofkindness.com)

I feel like I'm letting down those folks who come to actsofkindness.com and ask for daily reminders about kindness.  The lack of updates is only because I'm not able to get online everyday and update the site; it's certainly not for lack of content, I assure you.  People just like you--and including you!--are living kindly.  The news and "the neighbors" may talk of violence and sadness, but the goodness of people is powerful, extremely powerful---not too powerful, of course, just the right, perfect, peace-full punch of power :)
