What is this? you might ask. Well I have decided to make a special charitable award for gaians that do nice things, things that make me smile when I see it. I will award this little merit each month to someone(s) I beleive deserving. People I consider may do grand, unique, or just generally friendly things. They will receive not only a write up as to why they were chosen but also a small gift like a sealed letter or something else.
I chose to do this because too often, in gaia and real life, gossip and news tends to focus on negative or sad things too often do good deeds get cast out of the lime light. This is also why I have chosen, at this time, not to have an application. This is not meant to be a contest or for those who think they themselves/others are worthy but just for kindness to be recognized.
I hope the receipients shall cherish this award and that it will bring a smile to them like they have shared with many others, after all a friendly look, a kindly smile, one good act, and life's worthwhile. - Author Unknown
For all gaians, recognized or not, I hope that each day you can hope to spread one little smile and continue to know that it is appreciated. Truly no good deed goes unnoticed and a smile is the best reward.
A smile costs nothing but gives much. It enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None is so rich or mighty that he cannot get along without it and none is so poor that he cannot be made rich by it. Yet a smile cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give. - Author Unknown
This is a brilliant idea and I give you kudos for it. If only more people would realize that being rude, mean and cold hearted gets you nowhere. And even just a smile can make someones day.
Much Love, Kysa heartheart

It'll be soooo great to finally have change on the website. Everyone is. like, so sterotype and stuff like that. For every account I've made, I've never felt comfortable with the people here. They're all mean and only few/little have a heart. 3nodding
