Receive my weekly kindness tip to increase compassion, courtesy, empathy, respect in our world

Read my philosophy on civility in our society

 

I'll be publishing the weekly kindness tip in September 2006. They are short and simple.

 Receive a Weekly Tip from Andrea Reynolds, THE KINDNESS ACTIVIST

Caution: Not for the timid. These tips require two behaviors: class and consideration.

If you're fed up with the effects of poor customer service, cruel neighbors, gossip, slamming, sniping, name calling, disrespect, rude behavior, hostility, mean-spiritedness, bullying, mobbing, and aggression and violence, then you will appreciate Andrea's short, specific action steps to making our world more respectful, courteous, hospitable, compassionate, kind, warm and inclusive.

1. Subscribe now (Restarts in September 2006)

This is not an autoresponder. Andrea will see it and subscribe you herself. She would love to have you identify yourself by name, location in the world and web site.

2. Read each week's tip - sent on Monday morning - and reflect on it.

3. Incorporate and practice the action step in your own life.

4. Demonstrate your own CLASS and CONSIDERATION of others.

5. Be a role model for your kids, parents, neighbors, co-workers, team-mates, class-mates, room-mates, bosses, teachers, coaches, etc.

6. Encourage your kids, parents, co-workers, teachers, and neighbors to subscribe.

7. Feel free to send Andrea a tip of your own or ask her to post one on a subject of your choice.

8. Invite Andrea to speak at your group's next event. She promises a presentation that provokes and disturbs your audience.

9. If you like her tips, ask your newspaper to contact her to publish them.

10. Support Andrea's work as an activist by ordering something.

Each weekly tip requires only 15 seconds to read.

Text only. Free. Kid-friendly.

Guaranteed: Privacy, No Spam.

You can help change an unfriendly, hostile world to one of kindness, courtesy and compassion.

LAST YEAR'S KINDNESS TIPS

1. When closing down your business (Jan. 3)

2. Reversing the trend of incivility (Jan. 10)

3. Negotiation, not lawsuits (Jan. 17)

 

THE VERY FIRST TWO (very simple) KINDNESS TIPS:

 #1 SAY THANK YOU

Weekly Kindness Tip from Andrea Reynolds
Copyright Andrea Reynolds 2004

It sounds so elementary, but so few people seem to say it these days. If someone sends you a personal email, say thank you to them for taking the time to write to you. Let the sender know you appreciate their effort to contact you.

Let me now say thank you for subscribing to these Civility Tips and also for your patience until there were enough subscribers to this list. You'll receive weekly tips as regularly as possible.

 

 #2 CLEAR YOUR SIDEWALKS

Weekly Kindness Tip from Andrea Reynolds
Copyright Andrea Reynolds 2004

If you live in the snowy north keep your walks free of snow and ice so people without cars can walk more easily. Those who push a baby carriage or stroller or pull a loaded "bundle buggy" will bless you. If you had to drag groceries home 10 blocks through 8 inches of snow on the pavement you'd wish each of those homeowners would be more thoughtful.


Who am I? I'm a long time personal PR consultant trained in family studies, education, and marketing and communications who looks for ways to make work meaningful. Lately I've been finding my work for experts not as fulfilling, and also I have become frustrated with what's happening in our society and I can't stand back and do nothing. So I'm doing something.
