#1000Speak July Linkup – Acceptance
It is time again for our monthly 1000 Voices Speak for Compassion link-up! As much as I intended to have a post for this month, here we are at the eleventh hour and I do not have one ready to go. I have several in the works, but not quite ready to post. Life happens.…
1000Speak – I Am Raising a Compassionate Child
I’m not sure how it happened. Somehow, though, I find myself the parent of a child with a compassionate heart. This little girl cares about the environment. She cares about people and animals. She wonders why and how people can be cruel to one another, whether it’s on a school playground or the world stage.…
1000 Voices Speak for Compassion – June Link-Up
I’m a bit behind on my own 1000Speak post this month, but I can at least post the link-up info so you can get your own in there. In light of the recent events in Charleston, SC, we’ve extended this month’s link-up. It will remain open for another six days, closing on Saturday, June 27th to allow…
FTSF – We Need More
I’m struggling this week. I’m angry. I’m frustrated. I’ve had just about enough. Why? People are mean. People are inconsiderate. People are rude. It’s true. You know it’s true. And at risk of this appearing to be a rant (it’s not), I just really needed to say that tonight. All week I’ve tried to write this…
1000 Speak – Reconciliation of the Self
“I suppose no man can violate his own nature.” I would love to tell you those words are mine. I would love to tell you they fell from my consciousness onto the page and I breathed the wisdom of a lifetime into them. I didn’t. They belong to the only mind they can, Ralph Waldo…
Connecting with Compassion – 1000 Voices Speak for Compassion
1000 Voices Speak for Compassion is coming again! I’m a bit behind in revealing my topic for the May link-up, but I’ve been working on so many things the date kind of escaped me. But here we are, a mere four days away, so now is as good a time as any. Our theme for…
TToT – The Blooming
I finally have pictures of our trees. The dearth of visual evidence of spring here hasn’t been for lack of trying. Well, OK, it has been for a little lack of trying. I can’t say I always remember to take my phone or camera with me when I take my walks, but I’m choosing to call…
1000Speak – Nurturing the Self
No one wants to be called selfish. We want people to say that we are generous and other-centered. We want people to call us kind and compassionate. We want to actually be all of these things. We are taught that it is good to be selfless. But we misinterpret that. Look at the word – selfless.…

On April 20th, we will link up once again to flood the Internet with good and positive posts about nurturing. For my April post, I will talk about nurturing the…
