The Free Encouragement Project

One of my favorite things about blogging is finding fun projects that we can all collaborate on.  It makes our little corners of the internet part of a much bigger picture, plus they're just fun. 

Today I came across a great new project put together by Jeff from BOOOOOOOM! and Erin from Design for Mankind.  It's called "Free Encouragement" and the concept is brilliant.

There is just so much negativity all around us these days, have you noticed? It's infesting the internet, it's taking over the big screen, it's cutting you off, it's showing up on your bank statement, it's staining your new shirt, it's breathing down your neck, it's not giving you a vacation, it's talking behind your back, it's stuffing you in a locker, it's cheating on you, it's charging you more, it's giving you less, and it's making you miserable!
That's all true, so how do we combat against daily negativity?  By spreading encouragement of course!  The idea is simple. Chances are you run into someone everyday who needs a little boost, including yourself.  So write it down and share it with them.  When you send it to encouragement@booooooom.com, they'll add it to the gallery of encouragement. 

An example:

So go check out the project here and get started!  Also be sure to keep check back in December because there's a secret part 2 in the works!

What a great little project. I went to the site and read through some of the comments and it looks like all you have to so is email your encouragement in plain text. That's it, until part 2 at least.


Thanks for the link, I'd never seen the site before.
