“Be A Part Of A Movement: #1000Speak for #Compassion”

2/20/15 was the first; today, 6/20/15 is the second.


1000 Speak for Compassion 6-20-15


from the organizers: “‘How cool would it be if we could get 1000 bloggers on the same day to write posts about compassion, kindness, support, caring for others, non-judgement etc.?

“We could call it 1000 Voices For Compassion.

“Who’s in?”


“How: Write a post about compassion. What it means to you. How has it affected you? How we can bring more of it to those who need it. Really, there are no rules, just as long as it’s about compassion.”


Images are from today and the original day; instructions are the same:
