The whole idea of this project is to make everyday personal interactions more genuine..
I have been thinking about the old adage, "That was the straw that broke the camel's back." The idea that something so small is the thing that finally pushed an already exacerbated situiation over the limit.
I think many times we all say things or do things that are snarky or mean and don't think about the true consequences of those words or actions.
What if making a quip about someone's relationship was the final dig they "needed" to go and end that relationship? What if a sarcastic comment to someone only rooted them more in shame?
Do we want to be the straw that breaks anyone's back?
This is your challenge for the week...
When the temptation comes up to be harsh, sarcastic or dismissive; instead take a step back and work on saying something to build up that person or be supportive of them in a genuine way. This way we can help lessen each others load and make the day or even just the moment a little bit easier.
Onto to some business. The RDP needs a logo we can use in our Twitter feed @retrningdignity and to use for the project ingeneral. Any ideas? If you want to send me some, email me at lilheater@yahoo.com and we can go from there.
Happy Tuesday everone and I look forward to seeing how challenge #3 unfolds for everyone.
