❣️ This week’s 11K Community Feature is a li ❣️ This week’s 11K Community Feature is a little different!

Part of my mission with 11K is that I want us all to start documenting, sharing, and spreading good news. 📰🌞

📸 You’ll notice the first part of that is documentation. 

This isn’t just because I wanna see photos. It’s because EVERYONE does. 😉

It’s because we are constantly inundated with negative news, ☹️ and they have imagery to back it up. 🗞️

Visuals are MUCH easier to capture our attention. 📽️ They distract us.

So part of WHY I want to include documentation is to help 

🟡 A) counteract the negativity 
🟣 ****B) give us an equal chance to counteract that negativity WITH visuals 
🟢 C) help us train ourselves TO document things not just FOR points A + B, but for reconditioning ourselves to believe that documenting “small” acts of good news IS worth it! 👍

That all being said, since I started the 11K Project, I have received a TON of submissions that didn’t include media. 🗳️ But I want to make sure that they are getting recognized as well! ✅

Because as MUCH as what I said DOES matter and IS true, these things ARE still happening (AND SO MUCH MORE THAT YOU AREN’T SUBMITTING!!) so every once in a while I’m going to share some non-media submissions. 🤩

Here’s a shout out to some those people. 🙌

And don’t forget to ask yourself, 🤔 what was a way that YOU created joy, fun, or kindness recently? Your answer to that is A SUBMISSION! 📥

Submit it, and next time DOCUMENT IT and THEN submit it!!

We can be angry AND move the rock. In fact, anger We can be angry AND move the rock.

In fact, anger will help fuel you to move the rock.

But being angry about the rock in your way or the people who put it there will NOT move it.

You have to decide to DO something.

You’re already hurt. So you get to decide if you want to be hurt AND grow or if you JUST want to be hurt.

Everything Sucks… you’re right. NOW WHAT?!

I could recreate it in a photo, but the fact that it’s so candid is very important.
