ONLY BECAUSE I THINK IT MATTERS (I cannot believe I’m doing this!!!): My FULL segment from the #1000Speak call to action.
And this is why I need my 1000Speak post to be about SELF-compassion (which it will be – I’m done) because I’m SO VERY HUGELY not happy with this video. Not. Even. At all. *cringe*
BUT. Compassion is AWESOME and 1000 Voices Speak for Compassion is AMAZING and HAPPENING.

Thank you HUGE! That’s awesome. I hope we get lots of people joining in with 1000Speak – so important (to my mind) to get people at least THINKING about what compassion means and how important it is 🙂

Your vlog was great!! It is always a shock to put an actual voice to the names and blogs I know so well. Yours was not what I expected – though, I’m not sure what I expected. You are lovely and this was wonderful.

Yessss!!! “If we take care of the person standing next to us and they take care of the person standing next to them.” So perfect, Lizzi. Thank you for being such a powerful voice in this endeavor. I haven’t written my post yet (crazy travel week), but I’ve certainly been thinking about and ‘practicing’ compassion in every sense of the word. Even that feels like a small step in the right direction.
From the beginning, it feels like I can see and know your heart. Thank you for making it so accessible. xoxox
(PS: I will never get tired of your beautiful voice and gorgeous smile.)

yea, you nailed it, in that if you are compassionate than you you feel responsible for the universe and that will either crush you or you will learn to carry it. BIG (HUGS) to you. 🙂
