Meliorism

I’m a word nerd.

I love learning new words and diving deep into the background and history of words.

One of my favorite words hits home even more poignantly these days.

Meliorism: (noun) – “The belief that we can contribute to positive change and improve the world through acts of love, creativity, compassion, and kindness.”

I’ve based my career working in the nonprofit field trying to make a difference.

By supporting organizations, I hope to change the world for the better (cue Glinda and Elphaba singing).

I may not make a huge impact on things by myself, but I can do my part to move things forward a little bit every day.

It’s been said that big change is the result of hundreds of tiny steps. And each one counts. Especially when we all take tiny steps in a similar direction – through acts of love, creativity, compassion, and kindness.

Are you contributing to the Meliorism Movement? I’d love to hear what path you’re walking. Maybe we can take that walk together.
