Be the Blessing! It began with a question and an idea:

How ought we to live in the midst of the deepening crises facing humanity? They are  made worse by indifference, growing polarization, radical individualism and a sense of powerlessness and isolation.

Gradually our response emerged: create an interactive space — a community — for dialogue that would lead to action, mutual support and encouragement in response to the challenges of our times. By engaging with each other and acting together we could make a positive difference in the world.

That idea gave birth to Be the Blessing. We began with the goal of creating and fostering a broad based and inclusive community of people.  Our commitment is to live and promote the idea that the most humane life is lived with compassion, kindness and mercy. In other words, to be a blessing to others.

The founding members of Be the Blessing decided to focus on encouraging people to commit to daily acts of kindness and compassion, with special concern for children in poverty, victims of human trafficking, refugees and migrants and the survival of the earth.
