The Good Registry – putting the heart back into giving

Do you think you could put together 100 consecutive blogs over 20 working weeks?

That is, publish a piece reflective of both your own thoughts and those of importance to your business?

I’m not sure I could (hell, who am I kidding…I couldn’t).

Which is why I’m tipping my hat to Christine Langdon, Co-founder and ‘Chief of Good’ at The Good Registry.

The Good Registry exchanges gifts we might give to a person as a donation to a good cause instead…a form of waste elimination and helping others while still being an even better gift.

Christine’s finished her self-imposed challenge, which she published under her ‘My Kinder Life’ blog. And there’s two things that impressed me about her feat.

Firstly, there was a day she didn’t post. Did she use this breaking of her vow to give up?

No, she got back on the horse, didn’t beat herself up about it, and carried on.

The second lovely wee story is a couple of times she hadn’t blogged – and it was already early evening, and she’s not that keen on opening the laptop for work-oriented stuff at that time of day.

Now, there’s no rules about what a blog must be, and necessity being the mother of invention and all that, what did she do.

She wrote a haiku (or two in this case).

I finish with one of them, and you can find the other one here.

my kinder life haiku (#1)

Nothing. Then a birth.
learn, grow, grind? or learn, grow soar?
then an end. Nothing.
