Post-Election, We Need to Celebrate World Kindness Day More Than Ever
The Nov. 13 holiday can be just the thing to bring a divided nation and world together, says former paraplegic Barry Shore
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Oct. 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- World Kindness Day, now in its 22nd year, is arguably more important to celebrate this year than in years past, according to author/entrepreneur Barry Shore, who has earned the sobriquet the Ambassador of Joy. With a contentious election to sort out, a pandemic to deal with and a general decline in civility, remembering to be kinder to our fellow human beings may require some gentle reminders, Shore explains.
Besides the U.S., more than 27 nations are participating in this year's World Kindness Day on Nov. 13. Shore wants to see America lead the way.
Shore is a former paraplegic and successful serial entrepreneur with two multimillion-dollar exits and three issued patents, who in 2004 became a quadriplegic overnight from a rare disease. During the 16 years that followed, he has pushed himself to regain some of his functioning. He has become an avid swimmer who logs two miles per day and has accumulated over 7,851 miles in the past decade. Shore lives his life to inspire other people to see the joy in their everyday lives.
In an interview, he can discuss ways to celebrate the holiday such as:
- Practicing 11 ways to be kinder.
- Sending "Be KIND, Always" cards free via email (www.barryshore.com/keep-smiling) or snail mail to someone you care about on World Kindness Day
- Learning to become a joy generator in as little as 55 seconds.
- Participating in the worldwide Keep Smiling Movement. Participants are also encouraged to send a selfie with a "Keep Smiling Card" to [email protected] and can receive the free cards by clicking here. Each week, a lucky participant is randomly chosen to receive a $25 gift card.
