NICE News: Operation NICE!

Hey! Guess what? Operation NICE is NICE News! Thanks to the amazing Melissa Dribben at the Philadelphia Inquirer, little old me is on the front page of the newspaper today!

Article Close Up

The article is about the increasing trend of blogging about kindness and goodness and niceness. It's almost as if being nice is a new fad. Let's hope it's one that sticks. Nice is the new black, right?

Anyway, if you've stopped by this site because you saw the article, WELCOME! I know it mentioned how I share personal stories about how kindness may have affected a person's life, but I also post about products, websites, pictures, and projects that encourage the spread of niceness. And sometimes we have a little discussion about a related topic, like returning a lost wallet. But all in all, I'm just hoping that after visiting here, people are more aware, more mindful about being nice to others.
