Overview
Earlier this year, I meditated on how I could give back to the world in a way that would be fun to create, but also deeply impactful and broadly accessible to people. Very quickly, the idea for a smart phone app started to coalesce. I could see icons, screens, and the way people would interact with the app, all in service of developing more self-compassion and kindness. Practicing self-love is the path to healing and happiness in life. If we each did this, we could completely change the world!

What It's All About

As I get older, I want to make a difference in the world around me.  I want to do more than pay for someone's coffee or groceries or donate to a charity. I want to really touch people's lives. So earlier this year, I envisioned this app as a way to do that.  Learning to be kind to myself - kinder than anyone else has ever been to me - continues to touch every aspect of my life, and I want others to experience that, too. My life is pretty good these days, but it wasn't always. I've had my share of depression, heartbreak, stress and anxiety. I've felt completely disempowered and overflowing with despair. Although I don't live with those feelings anymore, I know how to be kind and compassionate with myself when they arise. And that makes all the difference.

When those feelings do arise, we need certain things.  And that's where the app comes in. Here's how it will make a difference:

  • You can't shift your self-judging thoughts if you don't know how! And if you don't know how, they can spiral out of control. Access the app for suggestions and practices that will teach you how. Read or stream audio - your choice.
  • You can't shift your thinking or feelings when you're lost in racing thoughts. But if a message pops up on your phone every few hours, reminding to you to stop and breathe, reconnect to your body, remember a time when you felt safe... this could be all someone needs to shift their perspective.
  • Practice, practice, practice, every day, until it becomes a new, healthy, happy habit. The app will monitor your progress in developing a new habit.
  • Sometimes you need a hand, a shoulder, an ear. You need a space to reach out to others who get it. This is community of people expanding their capacity for self-love and simultaneously their compassion for others. They will get it and send support.

And when your own capacity for compassion for others is ballooning, you can:

  • Inspire others!
  • Offer support!
  • Celebrate and share your growth and that of the community.

 

The Real Impact

When we learn to really hear and see all the aspects of ourselves with kindness, healing can finally begin. Our perspectives shift. Many of our needs start to feel met. And, at the same time, learning to forgive ourselves, rather than judging ourselves, and learning to give ourselves what we need, rather than waiting for others to give it to us, is the basis for true empowerment. 

And being kind and compassionate to ourselves amplifies our compassion for others. This is what will make the world a better place! Relationships would be easier if we could soothe ourselves and meet many of our own needs. Following our hearts would be natural if we all felt empowered to live our lives the way we choose. I believe even violence and crime would go down if we felt loved, empowered, enough. 

 

What We Need & What You Get

We need funding to pay for app development and design. This is a place and a time where all of us can step in together and help. Your monetary gifts will make this possible, but so would development or design skills if you are willing to offer them.

I'm offering as many cool perks as I can dream up, but if you think of something else, suggest it! All of the perks include a year of free access to the premium app.

If you want to invest in the app, contact us to see if we can make that work for you.

 

Other Ways You Can Help

I know some people just can't contribute, but that doesn't mean you can't help.  You could:

  • Share this page passionately with your own community!
  • Outside of Facebook, please send emails and tell people why you believe in this idea!

And that's all there is to it. We can do this, I know.  

Let's transform the world together, one heart at a time!
