Lucrecer, Krystyn, Jen and Alyssa were brought together to form a panel that was moderated by Kyran for the BlogHer Conference in July 2008. Our topic was simple - to discuss why it is that positive posting can make the world a better place. Some of us write about social justice, others leave love notes that world in random public places, some of us talk about our extraordinary struggles and the beautiful opportunities they present. But in all cases, we use our thoughts and words and art to inspire people to open themselves up to the possibilities of the world and move towards positive change.

So many - SO MANY! - people cam up to us afterwards to ask how we could keep the momentum going, find each other's wisdom and passion on a regular basis, bot just at BlogHer. So here it is, The Positive Posting cause on Just Cause It.

We will cause positive things. It's that simple.

Write about a stranger who made your day, a political movement that's working, a new diet that is helping you regain your health, anything that you think others can learn and grow from.

But let's use this energy to create real change. Talk about real stuff, link to other bloggers and posts, join other causes, create your own causes. The whole premise of our panel was to inspire people to use their own energy to create change - which is also the premise of JUST CAUSE IT. So, let's see what we can do together.

Join us, and remember to tag your posts to Positive Posting. And drop me a line any time.
