The Blessing Post: Reviving Community Connections Through Handwritten Kindness
Description
Have you ever paused to consider the power of a simple handwritten note? Join us as we explore this lost art with Don Prisby, the heart and soul behind the Blessing Post, a remarkable community initiative that has warmed his neighborhood since 2018. Positioned right in Don's backyard, this wooden post serves as a gathering spot for neighbors to exchange heartfelt letters, sparking genuine connections and reviving personal communication in a digital age. Listen to Don share his passion for handwritten encouragement and discover how this modest project has fostered a vibrant, caring community, proving that small acts of kindness can have a lasting impact.
In this uplifting episode of the Kindness Matters podcast, we dive into the nuts and bolts of building and maintaining a Blessing Post, from the logistics of city easements to the creative flair of designing a logo. Learn about the spontaneous joy it has sparked—neighbors making snow angels together—and the remarkable absence of vandalism, highlighting the community's respect and love for this beacon of goodwill. We also introduce you to the Mayday Media Network, offering a platform for those looking to share their voices. So, settle in and be inspired by the uplifting ripple effect one man's simple idea has had on his entire community.

It's one thing to highlight the kindness that we see in the world, but it's another to, as I put in many of my social media posts, #bethechange. I am donating all of my royalties from the sale of my book, Change A World; In Order to Change The World to local and national non-profits. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
