Watch Video of Diverse People Read the Charter for Compassion
Greetings,
I invite you to watch a very powerful video featuring a diverse group of people and children reading the Charter for Compassion which was unveiled by British author Karen Armstrong today in Washington, D.C. See below. Click here for more information: http://charterforcompassion.org. My favorite part of the video is:
“We urgently need to make compassion a clear, luminous, and dynamic force in our polarized world.”
WOW!
What are your favorite parts?
Enjoy your day!
Peace, Creativity, and Compassion,

Ananda celebrates Charter for Compassion and Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc.’s Founder’s Day with Art Every Day Month collages and poems
Happy Thursday!
Today I am celebrating my sorority Sigma Gamma Rho’s Founder’s Day (established in 1922 – www.sgrho1922.org) and the Charter for Compassion (http://charterforcompassion.org or http://twitter.com/thecharter). When I joined Sigma in 1983, I learned firsthand that in order to practice its motto of “Greater Service, Greater Progress,” I needed to have compassion in my heart. That’s why I am so excited about the Charter for Compassion. It is a reminder to give myself compassion so that I can share it with others through service.
My Art Every Day Month adventures this week have centered on collages and poems about compassion. Check out the video below which features my two collages. You can also hear me read two compassion poems. Enjoy!
Peace, Creativity, Compassion, and Service,
Ananda

Greetings All,
Join me for a conversation with my brothalove Shayne Lee, an author and professor of sociology at Tulane University, about the influence of The Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell (www.gladwell.com/outliers/index.html) on my new book, That Which Awakens Me on the November 9th episode of The Ananda Leeke Show at 9:00 p.m. We will also discuss my debut novel, Love’s Troubadours – Karma: Book One (www.lovestroubadours.com). Click here to listen to the show: www.talkshoe.com/tc/15820.
Shayne Lee
Shayne penned T.D. Jakes: America’s New Preacher (2007) and Holy Mavericks: Evangelical Innovators and the Spiritual Marketplace (2009). I read T.D. Jakes: America’s New Preacher earlier this year and fell in love with it. Shayne’s book influenced my new book, That Which Awakens Me. I even quoted from his book in my memoir! Yeah it was that GOOD! I also wrote a review about T.D. Jakes: America’s New Preacher and interviewed Shayne on BAP Living Radio in February. We had big FUN! Click here to read my review: http://kiamshacom.blogspot.com/2009/02/book-review-td-jakes-americas-new.html. To learn more about Shayne, visit www.tulane.edu/sociol/slee.pdf.

Art Every Day Month Post for the Weekend – A’s Comfy Chair
AEDM-Acomfychair, originally uploaded by anandaleeke.
Happy Weekend!
This weekend I wanna sit in a comfy chair, drink some ginger and green tea, and read my Yoga Journal magazine, chapter 7 of The Joy Diet, parts of Junot Diaz’s Oscar Wao, and my friend’s manuscript. My collage ” A’s Comfy Chair” is a perfect weekend affirmation for me. I made the collage earlier this week during one of my Art Every Day Month journal moments.
How are you planning to spend the weekend?
Make art every day!
Peace and Creativity,
Ananda
