Countdown to a NEW WORLD
Yesterday morning -- before the tragedy in CT unfolded -- I began what I call a countdown to a NEW WORLD. I'll share here in case anyone not on Facebook has an interest in chiming in, or just connecting in your own way, silently. 
We're working toward creating a NEW WORLD...one founded in Love, Compassion, Peace, Cooperation, Unity, Integrity and Truth. Join us in focusing on these New World Principles so we can manifest them, together. We MUST shift our present course.
FRIDAY, 12/14/12 -- 7 Days to a New World

As part of Wishadoo!'s Countdown to a New World, today's focus is TRUTH. Most agree that we MUST shift our present course. A critical component of moving forward in Love, Compassion, Integrity, etc., is that we must be Truthful, with ourselves and others. A special section in the Wishadoo! forum was created to have an ongoing conversation about our Truths:

5 Days to a NEW WORLD! TODAY'S FOCUS: #UNITY
YOU ARE BUT ONE DROP, YET YOU ARE THE ESSENCE OF ALL.
In the wake of the tragedy in Newtown, CT (being mindful of tragedies occurring across the globe each and every day), many hearts are broken. This collective pain and grief shows us is that we do not exist in isolation. We are intrinsically tied to one another. What you do and who you are affect
s The Whole. We are interconnected in myriad ways, both visible and invisible. To be fully human (and humane) is to recognize this connection and see yourself in others. This is the essence of The Golden Rule.
Our connection goes beyond Humanity, of course; we are inextricably linked to all life on Earth, and the Earth Herself. True Unity extends beyond Humanity to encompass all forms of life.

So true, as well!
Enjoying this a lot.
I always fear I'm intruding in some way.
Thank you.
More often than not I feel like a pain in the ass...
...so thank you very, very much for the kind words.
You are so admired and loved for all you do!
I realize it is not easy doing what you do, but you make the world a more compassionate place and we NEED you to be the voice for those who need help.
You are making a difference in the world!!! 
Muchas gracias, Digit!
4 Days to a NEW WORLD! TODAY'S FOCUS: COOPERATION
WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER.
That is a simple truth. It's also true that all change starts within, yet for it to manifest in the world around us and create the shift we seek, we must work together. We need more cooperation, less competition. We need to see that we're all connected, rather than view people as "the other."
It's time to have discussions about our priorities and values, and work together to put them into action. (We can discuss priorities and values here: http://tinyurl.com/c3mjrmq)
WE MUST REMEMBER THAT WE ARE EACH ONE PIECE OF THE UNIVERSAL PUZZLE.

3 Days to a NEW WORLD! TODAY'S FOCUS: #INTEGRITY
Integrity is doing the right thing, even if nobody is watching. It is not conditional. It doesn't shift during storms. It is constant and unwavering. It is your inner image of yourself. In the sea of Humanity, Integrity is our moral compass as we strive to become Whole.
To create this New World we must embrace Integrity, not only in our personal
lives, but in our relationships, families, communities, businesses, governments, social structures and institutions.
Wishadoo! was build on a foundation of Integrity. It is a solid foundation. Please JOIN US at www.wishadoo.org, as we do the work of creating a New World. Invite your family and friends, too!

2 Days to a NEW WORLD! TODAY'S FOCUS: #COMPASSION
Compassion isn't sympathy, it isn't pity. Compassion isn't some pie-in-the-sky, Pollyanna dream. It's not about "fixing" anyone or anything. Our vision of Compassion is discussed a LOT at Wishadoo!:
Compassion is to be lived, it seeks physical expression. It calls upon us to be tender, to be gentle and see the deeper reality of human possibilities. Compassion is recognizing ourselves in others and asks us to BE PRESENT, in spite of our human frailties and failings, and in the face of the world's pain and suffering. It is never about changing the world, it's about changing ourselves.
At times the most compassionate act is to be attentive and loving toward our own needs and dreams.

Many thanks to Wishadoo! member, Molly Rice, for the photograph which has come to represent the heart of Wishadoo! in so many ways. ?

ONE MORE DAY TO A NEW WORLD. It is our choice. We can start anew, within ourselves, each and every day by making that choice, not only on 12/21/12. Learn from the past, release it with gratitude, and begin again. Forgive yourself, forgive others. Be mindful of making choices from a place of Love and Peace, not fear and anger; simple, not necessarily easy.
"Peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. it means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart."
BE LOVE
BE TRUTH
BE UNITY
BE COOPERATION
BE INTEGRITY
BE COMPASSION
BE PEACE
BE ALL OF WHO YOU TRULY ARE. ?
