Thank you Daily Candy!

As my grandmother used to say, "Holy mackerel!" Daily Candy featured Operation NICE in their weekend guide! I am beyond grateful!

Woohoo!


I'm so psyched that people are excited about the idea of being nice! Such a simple concept that's so often overlooked in this hustle and bustle society. So if you're stopping by for the first time today, WELCOME!! Pull up a chaise. Join us nice folk for some good ole fashioned feel good readin'.

I'm new here because of Daily Candy, but I'll definitely be back! I love it! I was convinced nice people were a dwindling breed! I'm telling my friends and family, too, so they can see I'm not completely crazy. :o)

Melissa said...

Haha! You're not crazy! My husband is a cynic, so sometimes he thinks I'm a little too optimistic (or naive). But I'm going to go on believing that the majority of people have good hearts!

I get daily candy & I saw the mention :)
Congrats!
(fyi: I'll be posting picks of your "nice" cards up soon around Philly, hehe.)
Have a great day!

Christina said...

Finally!!! I feel like i've found a community of people who agree with kindness, niceness, empathy and love - all the time, and for no logical reason other.

Thank you for creating this website! Such a beautiful way to start the day!!

Fantastic! I'm so happy I found your blog (through Cathe's status update on Facebook no less!). I am a huge believer in changing the world through kindness. I'll definitely be subscribing to your blog. :)

karen said...

I am a Daily Candy reader who was turned on to your site earlier today and I already have you saved in my "favorites" list. I love what you have started and I am looking forward to being inspired to just be nice through your blog. Thank you!

P.S. I was inspired to start my "I love" list because of your blog and it has made my day. You are the nicest! ;)

Tristan said...

Congratulations dear Melissa!!!

Rhona said...

I found you through Daily Candy! My husband and I had recently been talking about how it's so difficult for people in LA just to be friendly to one another, or even courteous to strangers. It's discouraging when you smile and say hello and receive a sneer or a disgusted look in response. We just moved to Costa Mesa, Orange County, and were startled by how nice and friendly everyone is. Good to see that little pockets of niceness are spreading!

Cathe said...

Woohoo! Congrats, Melissa!

Carey@Lasso'd Moon Designs said...

Congrats! I've become a big fan of your blog and did my love list today on my personal blog.

Eli said...
