Speaking of joy, I felt a tremendous amount of it when I received this email from Mel Weiss! Looks like she took Operation NICE to heart and started her own campaign for kindness right in her own front yard! LOVE IT!!!
I felt inspired to do something nice after reading a bunch of your testimonials. However, following people around until they need a door open or cpr (which I don't know) seemed to be something that doesn't ring true to the "Nice" direction...and is probably illegal in LA. So I brainstormed just a bit to see what I could do this second...right now, at my own home, that could possibly be helpful.
In the end I came up with something simple. I live on a very busy street in Venice Beach and many folks meander (love that word) past my gate every day. After reading your post about seeing the "You're Beautiful" sticker, I decided to use that...and you...as inspiration. I posted a simple sign on our entrance that says, "You're a nice person."
Not everyone is lucky enough to check out your blog...but they should be lucky enough to be reminded that there is a nice person inside of them. Who knows, perhaps it will be ignored or dismissed. But I thought, maybe, just maybe someone will take in that reminder and grab the next opportunity to be nice that they might have otherwise passed by. *fingers crossed*
Thanks Mel, for fighting the good fight!

So far it's made 2 people, that I know of, smile. That makes it worth it as far as I'm concerned.
I think I'll change the sign once a week...if I can come up with some more Nice things to say. Anyone have any suggestions??
*smiles*
Mel
