I am so down for the Charter of Compassion. This video was recorded in February 2008. The Charter she mentions was unveiled in November, 2009.

Nashville is virgin territory for the Generate Kindness project. I’ve been having fun dropping stickers at events and in coffee shops and am intrigued to see what happens. Could Nashville be any kinder, actually? Well, there are still homeless people in Nashville, so I’m not sure what to say about that. Anyway, to the folks […]

I LOVE this! I’m going to send ’em stickers when I run the next batch, which is going to be soon. I’m running out. If you’ve mailed me a stamped envelope, I’ve got ’em! I’ve been meaning to do another video, ’cause there are a couple of really clever ones. Anyway, check this out! http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2010604939_kindnessclass27m.html

instead of “Kill to birds with one stone” – what do you think?

We were looking through our Twitter followers and found a few followers who are actively generating kindness by creating networks and good works, too. Check ’em out! Meet Brock Tully who rides his bike into towns around the world talking about kindness. We’re looking for an address to send him some stickers! Extreme Kindness is […]

Which comes first – the blog or the Youtube? In this instance, it’s the youtube.

http://www.myspace.com/steveplesliemusic We saw Steve Leslie last night at the Bluebird Cafe. He’s an incredible songwriter who sounds like a countrified version of James Taylor. Towards the end of an awesome set, he sang “A simple act of kindness’ “A simple act of Kindness goes a long, long way…” it’s a touching song with a beautiful […]

We got a huge spike of traffic yesterday and while the analytics gives me some idea of where people are coming from, there’s a big chunk of people who are “direct referrals” meaning that you didn’t click on a link in a forum or on a website somewhere, but instead maybe followed an email link, […]

Collecting Kindness stories here: One Million Moments of Kindness

Gonna keep track of places Kindness shows up on the web. check these out, drop ’em a line and tell ’em Generate Kindness sent you. Touch Someone

I got to see Richie Havens at the Napa Opera House last week, and it was an incredible show. the magic happened AFTER the show, however, when my hosts (one of whom had suffered a stroke a few months earlier) took to the elevator instead of following the crowd out the back of the hall. […]

just did an update of the site, using a new navigation which I think is a better user experience. What do you think?

Just overwrote a file I’ve been working on over the last several months as part of the intended redesign and thought I’d lost months worth of work. I’d just bought a PHP Development Environment (a programmer’s tool) for my iPhone, which cached a local copy. I seriously was about to lose it, realizing that I’d […]

Believe it or not, humankind has collectively agreed that it’s Random Act of Kindness week. Now it’s just a matter of getting the word out. What are you doing to generate kindness in the world? I know what *I’m* doing 😀 Want to support Generate Kindness in generating kindness? Do a google search for “Random […]

ok, I’m a Twitter convert. I just signed GenerateKindness up on Twitter. Follow GenerateKindness! http://twitter.com/Gener8Kindness

I think it’s well past time to update the design and functionality of Generate Kindness. It’s been a long time coming, and the fact is, I have a finite number of hours to help manage a 40-person service business, a burgeoning music career, the Missing Project, and Generate Kindness. I’ve been confronted with and am […]

We’ve got a bunch of the small stickers left, and I’m happy to send those to anyone who sends a SASE. If you’d like to contribute something, I’ll send you a larger Prius-sized sticker AND some of the cute smallguys (which look great on lighters, btw, a little Generate Kindness fashion tip.)

A recent study shows that being negative has a bigger impact than being kind. The study suggests that being kind may or may necessarily result in reciprocity or “paying it forward” versus being mean or unkind is more likely to evoke a negative reaction. Take driving for instance. You might be courteous and let someone […]

We got like something like 14k requests in the last three weeks. INSANE! Most of the traffic seems to be coming from “Free Stuff” sites. Which is great, and all. I’m happy people want to Generate Kindness. I went to the mailbox this week and found it stuffed with SASE’s. What a crazy thing to […]
