Wise Habits Reminders

Donna Cameron on Kindness

April 16, 2019 Leave a Comment

https://www.oneyoufeed.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Donna-Cameron-Full.jpg

Donna Cameron has spent her career working with non-profit organizations and causes as an executive, consultant, a trainer and a volunteer.   She has published many articles and in 2011, she co-authored a book with Kristen Leathers called One Hill, Many Voices: Stories of Hope and Healing.  In this interview, Donna and Eric discuss her book, A Year of Living Kindly: Choices That Will Change Your Life and the World Around You, which was recently named as a finalists for the 2019 Montaigne Medal and also the Foreward Indie award.  Her book has also earned a Gold Medal in the Independent Publisher awards and was named one of the “Best Books of 2018” by Kirkus Reviews. You’ll hear insights into what it means, feels like and looks like to live kindly and your perspective on kindness will be broadened and enriched – possibly even changed – as a result.
