A Week Of Positive Blogging...

There is a blog that I check on the regular called "Hochmah and Musar". It is very unique, about a brother who is a Black Jew in Israel and his experiences both past and present. He has a project that starts today called "A Week Of Positive Blogging". Even tho I don't feel like I can join in, as my blog is not really classified as personal, I would like to support his endeavor in reaching out to all brown bloggers. I know some of you complain of writer's block; this is an excellent thing to participate in and get your creative juices flowing, as well as revealing to your readers a bit about yourself, and to create something positive. I'm posting this a bit late, but it doesn't matter...even if you start tomorrow I'm sure it will be OK. Blog love!

As I mentioned in the previous post, We Could Be Heroes, I was recently inspired with an idea of a week of positive blogging. I am still working out the idea, but here are the bare bones of the idea. As I decide on my precise details I will make another post, or this may serve as the initial inspiration.

The Rules:

The week I have chosen is Nov. 4th to Nov. 10th 2007. This gives a full week to come up with ideas. Also, spread the word and get people involved. Start preparing stories for your blog to start posting on Nov. 4th. You can post as many as you like. I have put a section on my site for a list of the bloggers who are taking part. Once the week is up I will create a link list of the stories of all who took part.

You can participate for as few or as many days as you like. Just read all the instructions below so we are all on the same page, so to speak.Be imaginative, creative, and thoughtful with your posts. Use whatever theme makes your blog special. Your angle is what is important when considering the topics below.

The purpose is to show the world that good things are happening all around us even while bad things are happening. There is also the idea that each of us has a role on this earth, and each of can do something to change the world. Pictures, videos, etc. that help tell a story are good. You have complete freedom to write about what you like.
