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.

Please JOIN US at www.wishadoo.org, as we do the work of manifesting Compassion and creating a New World. Invite your family and friends! At its heart, Wishadoo! is a social network, where those of like mind and like heart are gathered with focused intent, with many tools to put these values into action in a practical way, including our Wishlist -- a "craigslist of Compassion." http://www.wishadoo.org/wishlist/

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