A poignant comment received this morning on The Magic Mirror of Betty Peck, which was featured as today's DailyGood:
When I look in a mirror, I don't see something wonderful. However, I do know the power of seeking and moving towards one's Values. I have been having trouble identifying those Values in my life in order to find direction. This video gave me 3 Values to pursue: Goodness, Oneness and Diversity. I know that if I move that direction, I will be able to see magic in the mirror again.

A beautiful ripple from Pavi's talk on Giftivism: Reclaiming the Priceless:

Where this ripples will die down> Perhaps never. Each act will give rise to another new set of ripples. GIFTIVISM has no end only a beginning. It begins with me,you & us. ~ Mohan Nishtala

A few months ago, I was caught up in tracking the number of videos that were being added to the KarmaTube site as the number inched towards 2,000. I was all set to mark the milestone here on this feed. Then, I got involved in setting up a new system of managing the video write-up process with Pavi, and noticed by happenstance a few days ago that the number of videos had surpassed the 2,000 mark. So, here is the big reveal: TA DA! KarmaTube now has 2,028 videos up on the site.
It has been a true joy to work with all the volunteers and behind-the-scenes coordinators and tech wizards to add to this curated library of inspirational, social change videos that are touching the lives of our community of engaged viewers. This pledge on the most recent Video of the Week, Song for Rain, exemplifies the impact of KarmaTube ... Read Full Story

In light of the latest mass shooting in Las Vegas, wanted to share this pledge on the video "I Trust You."
I pledge to keep working to prevent gun violence. I pledge to continue walking down the street with an expectant smile on my face, hoping that others will see friendliness in my face and respond in kind. ~ Mary Lewis Grow

A Complaint and a Compliment to ServiceSpace.
KarmaTube received this complaint a couple of days ago:
"I find the music behind your interviews and narratives to be very obtrusive. I'm sure somebody thinks it adds to the experience, but for me it's too loud and is distracting from the message."
We responded, asking if there was a particular video that was annoying, and explained a bit about KarmaTube and our curation process. Below is the reply, with a compliment to ServiceSpace. :)
"Thanks so much for your timely response! And for not being snarky about such a complaint that was not even specific... The trigger for me was Daily Good for August 8--localization for people and the earth. And just the final straw! I've given up on too many online videos & do it yourself YouTube episodes because someone thinks a loud music track is an addition to their instructions, whereas it's a distraction ...

Received this email from a Video of the Week subscriber yesterday. So happy to hear that KarmaTube videos are being used to engage 5th. grade students.
"​I was curious if you stopped sending out the weekly videos. I have not gotten any for the past couple week and miss them. Each week, I show the appropriate ones to my 5th grade students and they "reflect" on it in writing."
