Back From Our Makeover

Before and After Pics and an Intro to Season II: Kinda Kind

Hey, howdy. Good to see you. We’re back. If you just started hanging out with our super cool kind community, you’re probably saying, “Umm… where were you?”

We ducked out for a makeover. Woohoo. Here are some pics:

Planning the makeover, Leaving for the makeover, at the beach with my new stick friends (do you like my hat?), exploring the new communication rabbit hole, all pretty with a new logo.

And the new header for your email viewing pleasure (I know how important this is to you lol….):

So of course you can see why this took a whole month. I am not a fiddle faddler and not a procrastinator.😁

And as we were on our way back from the beach, KM (my pet name for Kindness Magnet) looked over at me and said, “What about you? What did you do for your makeover? You’re the writer, after all. Anything new?”

Well, yes. Actually there is.

Welcome to Season II: The Kinda Kind Series

“Sometimes kindness isn’t in your face. It’s more subtle. It’s Kinda Kind.”

While sailing along for 2 years with 81 posts and stories, ripples of kindness rocked me gently along where ever kind communication flowed. Those ripples became waves leading to better relationships, doors to opportunities, and greater happiness.

So where do you find this Kind Communication? What does it look like? And can it be learned?

Let’s Find Out

We all communicate. With others. With ourselves. Out loud. Silently. Body language. Smirks. Smiles. Snorts. Chortles. Groans. Laughter. Nods. Eye rolls (I do this. Do you?). Emails. Letters. Texts. Social media. Gestures. Phone calls. Voice mail. Loud. Soft. In between. Expressions. We have a huge and curious top hat of tricks to help us communicate.🎩

Sometimes we reach into that top hat and great things come out. Other times… MEH, maybe just a cute little bunny 🐇 or worse 🐍.

Season II is about talking. And not talking. About gestures. And expressions. And sounds. And silence. It’s about all the curious ways we communicate. And it’s about the amazing things that can happen when we are Kinda Kind.

🐰 Come Dive Down the Communication Rabbit Hole

The author jumping down the Communication Rabbit Hole. It’s not my best likeness…Did I tell you that I love stick figures?

Kinda Kind is Serious. And Funny. And Both. (And stuff you can use😁). Come dive down the rabbit hole and let's go exploring. Who knows what we’ll find there.

Next week launches Season II with a special story…. and it really stinks. See you then.
