In this day and age, we are continually bombarded with images that leave us empty: murder, war, terrorism, natural disaster, intolerance, hatred... the list could go on and on. Our world is a place of ever increasing negativity it seems. It doesn't matter whether we turn on the television, listen to the news, read the paper or just chat with friends. Odds are we will end up walking away feeling a sense of despair. Many of us ask where the good has gone when we take in all the horrors that surround us. Some days the bad just seems to outweigh the good we see in this world. However, we don't have to go very far to see the miracles of daily life that abound.
From the way the
sun warms our face on a cold day, to the embrace of a loved one; from
the way a butterfly brushes our cheek during a summer walk, to the
sounds of the birds chirping in the trees--we are surrounded with
beauty, majesty and love. The problem, I believe, is that we have just
become too jaded from all the negativity in the world, our community,
sometimes even our own backyard, to see the good, that in spite of
everything, subsists.
Morality and justice continue to exist.
We just need to look a little harder to see it. We need to rub the
disillusion from our eyes that has clouded our vision in order to see
the joy this world even now has to offer.
To that end, I have
been inspired to create a place where I can come to see projects or
posts that provide help, hope, courage, love, forgiveness, peace,
motivation, encouragement, etc. A place to come especially on those
days when the woes of the world just seem too much to bear. This is a
place I would like to share with others who feel as I do. Therefore,
welcome to the 'Path of Positivity Challenge' -- a different sort of
challenge blog designed to inspire, nurture and provide support for the
soul by creating a positive path to follow, one project or post at a
time!
I have included this information in the 'Introduction' tab above. You will also find tabs for the "Challenge Details', our amazing 'Sponsors' and 'Challenge Win Information'.
I hope that you will join me on this unique journey and help to bring a little sunshine to our corner of the blogiverse!
Always remember...
Sincerely,
