#1000Speak July Linkup – Acceptance

It is time again for our monthly 1000 Voices Speak for Compassion link-up! As much as I intended to have a post for this month, here we are at the eleventh hour and I do not have one ready to go. I have several in the works, but not quite ready to post. Life happens.…

1000Speak – I Am Raising a Compassionate Child

1000Speak – Nurturing the Self
