Today, bloggers and writers are posting pieces related to compassion as part of an initiative called 1000 Voices Speak for Compassion. #1000Speak was born out of a desire to flood the internet with good on February 20. I was excited to have my essay published on mamalode.com today for #1000speak. But, thanks to a marvelous little thing called “copy and paste,” if you’ve read my other stuff, a lot of my essay will sound awfully familiar, so here a few other #1000Speak essays that I enjoyed, and you might too:

This one will make you cry when you think about how much you love your mama:
Live By Surprise

This one will make you feel hopeful about your kids and the world in which they’re growing up:
Actions Are Louder

This one will inspire you to help when you can:
He Is Worthy of Compassion

And this one is not part of #1000Speaks, but it’s awfully sweet and relate-able, and I just love babies, so:
Love and Debris

Enjoy!
