To help inspire the Bloggers for Peace (B4Peace), we will have a Monthly Peace Challenge. To participate, tag your post with B4Peace and make sure you copy your URL to the Linkz collection. Anyone who completes all twelve Monthly Peace Challenges in 2014 will receive a Free B4Peace T-shirt. Yes, I’ve decided to offer the second annual Bloggers for Peace T-shirt as a prize. I envision a day when we will all gather for a Bloggers for Peace Conference donning our various Bloggers for Peace T-shirts.
Sorry this challenge is a bit late; I’ve been having my challenges finding funds to pay off overdue taxes.
For this month’s challenge, I would like to work on empathy. Empathy is being able to step into the shoes of another and see things from their point of view. I challenge you to empathize with other bloggers this month.
- Write a post in the style of another blogger. What idiosyncrasies do they have that you can emulate? Make sure you link your post to theirs. “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.”
- Publish a post that is in a completely different genre than you usually post. If you usually post prose, then try poetry, art, photography, video.
- Post something that is includes quotations from another blogger. Maybe you can expand upon the thoughts of another blogger. Or you can start a conversation.
- Write a post in the voice of your favorite peacemaker. What if you embodied MLK or Gandhi on your blog? Imagine writing a post in the voice of Bob Marley. What would Mother Teresa blog about?
- Write a post about empathy. When was the last time you really empathized with someone? How has empathy brought peace into your life.
Don’t forget to link to at least one other B4Peace post and add your post to the Linkz collection. Here is how:
