Good Things Pledge
News Of ‘Good Things’ Keeps Spreading
Gosh, how truly special it is when I hear from people who want to help me spread the message of Good Things Going Around. I was recently interviewed on
WNKU (105.9 89.7 and 104.1 FM) by reporter Cheri Lawson. Here is a link.
And by Melanie Brooks on a website called Freelance Switch. Here is a link.
The Good Things Pledge Is Spreading
I created the Good Things Pledge as a fun project to remind ourselves that we all have within us the power to be happy, care for each other, rise above obstacles, and appreciate what is most important in life. It is so much fun to see how people of all ages are enjoying it. If you’ve taken the Pledge, I’d love to hear from you. Send me a photo with your certificate or a comment and you just may find yourself in my enewsletter.

The Good Things Going Around Pledge Is Spreading
A couple months ago I created the Good Things Pledge as an outlet to brighten people’s days and inspire others to live for every moment, and to see and appreciate the good that is all around. All of us have within ourselves the power to make a positive contribution. Cultivating that good through a sincere respect, caring and appreciation is one of the most important gifts we can give.
What is the Good Things Pledge? It is a simple promise to remind yourself every day of what is positive. The Pledge is a personal vow that involves appreciation, being kind and being aware that every small act has the potential for a huge impact.
Take a look at some of the people who have recently taken the Pledge.
Jill Dunne, Stephanie Johnson, and Brandy Jones of the Cincinnati Metro
marketing team
Melissa Currence with the
Greater Cincinnati Foundation
“Working at The Greater Cincinnati Foundation, I know Cincinnati has a lot to give. I have the Good Things Pledge hanging up in my workspace and it reminds me to do my best every day to help our community. Cincinnati has wonderful neighborhoods and causes to support. Let’s keep the good things going around!”
Taking the Pledge is simple. Just visit the Good Things Pledge page and fill in your information in the white box. I’ll send you your certificate.
Michael Rubin Took The Good Things Pledge
Michael is a social media strategist for Fifth Third Bank in Cincinnati, and is a member of my Good Things Going Around Facebook community. He is also among the first people who eagerly signed up to take the Good Things Pledge.
“Working in a big company, it’s all too easy to let the drama of others minimize your own sense of worth. The Good Things Pledge serves as a daily affirmation for me that the only one who determines how I feel is me. At the beginning of each day, I have a choice about how I engage with the world and the Pledge reminds me to choose the path of good intention,” he said.
When people provide their name (in the white box on the Good Things Pledge page), I send them a cheerful certificate to remind them of their promise. Michael has his certificate hanging in his office at work…a daily reminder that the world and the day
have a lot of meaningful good. (It’s the colorful page on his cubicle.)
Michael is a great example, showing us that in our busy lives, it’s still important to make that
conscious decision to think about and act upon the good all around.

Make Good Things A Part Of Everyday
With The Good Things Pledge
Warning! People throughout Greater Cincinnati (and beyond) need to be warned, by giving of a few minutes of their time, they are contributing to a rapidly growing outbreak that is highly contagious. But doctors say it is not dangerous, in fact, they recommend following the directions below…
The outbreak is spread through Good Things Pledges. Brand new to our area, people who are being affected by the Pledges are beginning to show up in schools, businesses, community centers and homes; on the streets of Over-the-Rhine and in the suburbs. EVERYONE is susceptible – from little children to adults. People of all backgrounds need to be advised that this epidemic is easily spread from one person to the next with just a simple smile and a positive attitude.
What are these Good Things Pledges and why are they so catchy, you ask? A Good Things pledge is simply a promise – a personal vow that involves liking oneself and others, appreciating the little things that make life special, being kind, and being aware that every small act has the potential for a huge impact. Those behaviors are collectively called Good Things and many people already have them.

On this day and every day, I pledge to myself…

I will brighten this day with my smile.
I will do my best to be the best me I can be.
