remember when we did this?

Our perfect protest was the best EVER! 

I just want y'all to know that it still brings me so much joy! 

When I'm feeling fearful, I watch this video and read these - they make me smile. I watch Joy Tanksley's video response to our protest. Every comment, picture, and video makes me braver. They help me remember that I'm not alone!   

I think it's time for another Wholehearted revolution. Stay tuned! 

i heart generosity day!

Last year, Sasha Dichter, Chief Innovation Officer for Acumen Fund, converted his month-long "Generosity Experiment" into a global Generosity Day. The idea was simple: to reboot Valentine's Day as a day of "sharing love with everyone."

Sasha writes, "Give to people on the street.  Tip outrageously.  Help a stranger.  Write a note telling someone how much you appreciate them.  Smile.  Donate (more) to a cause that means a lot to you.  Take clothes to GoodWill.  Share your toys (grownups and kids).  Be patient with yourself and with others.  Replace the toilet paper in the bathroom.  All generous acts count!" 

Last year I celebrated with a book/DVD giveaway and I'm doing it again this year! 

Do something generous tomorrow - anything - and leave a comment telling us about it! I'll draw three names to win copies of The Gifts of Imperfection, I Thought It Was Just Me, and The Hustle for Worthiness DVD! 

Happy Generosity Day! 

realizing empathy

When I saw this tweet this morning, I clicked on the link not knowing what to expect.

All I can say is I'm a better person for having watched it. Like courage, empathy is a choice and a practice. I'm so grateful you shared these ideas with us! 

Here's the link to the Realizing Empathy website. Here's the Facebook page. And Twitter.

Powerful! Thank you, Seung Chan Lim!
