Would You Join We Are the World Blogfest? #WATWB
I want to share a fantastic blog idea Damyanti from the Daily Write came up with. She approached me to join in this beautiful blogfest idea to help spread kindness at a time in the world where we could all use a little positivity and encouragement to uplift us and our spirits instead of getting lost in the web of some of the unpleasantries of the world that is all around us on social media. I gladly accepted to become one of the monthly co-hosts upon my return from my vacation. But in the meantime, I’d like to invite all of you to read the introduction post to this wonderful idea and offer anyone to join in, or at least share some of these posts around on social media with the hashtag #WATWB (We are the world blogfest)
Be the change!
Please read Damyanti’s post below and continue reading at her blog.
Social media and news in recent times has been filled with hate and negativity. Just as you cannot fight darkness, only light lamps, Hate and Negativity cannot be fought. You need to bring Love and Positivity forward instead.
I bring to you the We Are the World Blogfest, along with these fabulous co-hosts:
Belinda Witzenhausen, Emerald Barnes, Eric Lahti, Inderpreet Uppal, Kate Powell, Lynn Hallbrooks, Mary Giese, Michelle Wallace, Peter Nena, Roshan Radhakrishnan, Simon Falk, Susan Scott, Sylvia McGrath, Sylvia Stein, Chrissie Parker, Carol Walsh.
“We Are the World Blogfest” seeks to promote positive news. There are many an oasis of love and light out there, stories that show compassion and the resilience of the human spirit. Sharing these stories increases our awareness of hope in our increasingly dark world.
We will link to charities supported by the co-hosts, and you could choose to donate to some of them or add links to local charities you support, so we could all chip in to a good cause if we like.
Let us flood social media with peace and love, and “In Darkness, Be Light.” The first post for We Are The World Blogfest is on the 31st March 2017.

I love this idea, Debby. In unity there is hope. I’m sure I’ll have plenty of stories to choose from this week. A huge cyclone has just wreaked devastation in northern Queensland. I’m sure there’ll be many wonderful stories of neighbour helping neighbour come out of that.
