Can you imagine a world with no hate? Where we only speak – and think – kindness? Where our actions are motivated by a passionate desire for peace? We each have an individual responsibility to contribute to a collective awakening that will spark a new normal of kindness, compassion, and acceptance. Speak no hate. Only love. xoxo

We do not throw rocks at other people! Please don't do that ever again! It is SO unkind!

No matter who we are, any one of us can find ourselves in the position of being a bystander when a potentially dangerous situation is about to go down. It can happen to us as a friend, as a roommate, an acquaintance or even as a stranger. YOU have the power to step in if you see something sketchy happening.

This is an ongoing project I am working on with some ladies I met at school, one that we are very passionate about.  Given some of recent events, and that there are a lot of younger users on tumblr, or users with school-age children, I want encourage people to use this as a resource for teaching positive response behaviors to dealing with bullying behaviors.

Please reblog this, to make sure it circulates and reaches people who might need it!

Also, feel free to offer suggestions, as this is a growing and evolving project, and input/feedback is more than welcome! @blue-gold-demigod-clouds is part of this project, and did the colors for the art :D
