One of my favorite bloggers and someone that I consider a friend is Drew of BenSpark.com. From reading his blog I’ve come to see his beautiful daughter Eva growing up, his Photo-A-Day (PAD) and the charities and other social events he promotes. He is very kind and helpful and has reached out to help me on various occasions.

I recently read his blog post about being a child and teasing other children. Even though I was teased mercilessly as a child and teen, in high school, I wanted to fit in and began to tease other students. It didn’t feel right after I did it, but while I did it, I felt like I was taking out my pent-up anger. I still feel guilty about this past behavior on my part. I know how much it hurt to hear unkind words, especially when a group of people were lodging them at me.

What Drew has suggested is a Call To Action as bloggers -

1. Don’t take part in gossiping about other bloggers
2. Don’t be negative about other blogs and the people behind them
3. Visit 3-5 random blogs this week
4. Leave a genuine comment
5. Search the blog and tweet or stumble an older post
6. Compliment the blogger on what they are doing well

Why not pay this forward?
