Kindness Ring Drawing In One Week

I am grateful to everyone who has left a comment about their favorite string color and what it means to them. Some of the remarks are so honest and heartfelt that I had to pause for a moment after reading them. Your thoughts from cancer survivors, those who have lost loved ones, and others struggling through difficult times, made me feel humbled. Knowing that my ring is not just used as a symbol of kindness but often as a symbol of strength has left me appreciative beyond measure. Thank you for sharing with me.

I'll close the String-Ring drawing at noon next Sunday the 14th of February, Valentine's Day. Then I'll go to random.org to get the winning number and post it. If you are not familiar with random.org, it is a service that generates a true random number after you enter the number of participants. The participants will be listed in the order they entered.

I'm still campaigning for the green and purple lovers. Nobody has chosen either color and I'm a big fan of underdogs. Purple or violet is the color of the humanitarian. It encourages compassion and empathy while green represents respect. And I'd like to mention that some of the coolest creatures are green (Shrek, Kermit, Gumby, Yoda) or a kind purple (Tinky Winky, Dino, Grimace the milkshake lover from McDonald's). One week left to enter at The Kindness Community Blog. Don't forget to leave your name and email so I can reach you if you win!
