Inviting New Voices

I have decided that the mission of this blog will best be served by turning it into a collaborative weblog. A few years ago I ran the Healing Words Press webzine that had an attached blog called Inspiranote. Inspiranote was a collaborative weblog that grew to 7 editors in the end. Each editor had their own section and would post at least once per month. The sections were Good Books, Inspiring Movies, Personal Growth, Good News, etc.

I am wanting to do something a little less structured now, but with the same basic idea. There is such a shortage of blogs that have anything uplifting to say, that it was even hard to find other bloggers to invite to participate! The blogosphere has the same negative mindset of our news media, yet it tries to present itself as an alternative. Who needs another way of seeing from a threat-mentality?

There is much that is not being reported and what is omitted does have a particular characteristic, but it's not about conservative media leaving out liberal viewpoints or liberal media demonizing conservative viewpoints. It's about the voices that emphasize threat drowning out those that emphasize possibility and joy.

The alternative I am looking for is one that provides insight and inspiration, reminding people that life can be one of great fulfillment, depending on what you do within it. We are not powerless. What we do makes a difference, both for ourselves and for others. So leave a comment with your contact information if you would like to be a part of the new "Being Bliss" that will start in November. Each contributor submits at least one entry per month, any topic, that is aimed to inform and inspire. Ella of PassionCity has already signed on and I hope to see the list grow to about 4-6 regular bloggers.

    Awesome Dave. That makes 2 definite and 1 tentative. If I can get to 4 definites I think this is a go. Stay tuned, and may the good news flow through your life like a great river, spilling out into the sea of light we share.

    I am absolutely with you Indigo that clear, clean and uplifting blogs are hard to find. That's why I refuse to write anything negative cos I don't want to contribute to the global 'mental polution'. Have enjoyed your blog and I would like to have more involvement here. Sounds like we've already gathered a few like-minded people here! Hullo there Dave!

    Hello everyone!

    I would like to clamber aboard if there's still room. I've emailed you, too :)

    Wellwisher, I sent you an invite through blogger. Once you click a link in that email you will be taken to the Blogger site where you can create a username (which isn't necessarily the name we will see your posts under) and password for a free blogger account. Somewhere in there you will create a name that your posts show under. Then you can add a post whenever you want. At least one per month is appreciated, as is a link to the Goodness Blog on your personal blog. Welcome!
