Exhibiting Compassion Made Easy: 11 Actions to Show Graciousness
May 9 Approaches: Join the National Movement 'Do It For Dolly Day' to Combat Bullying
In remembrance of 14-year-old Dolly Everett who tragically passed away in 2018 due to prolonged bullying and cyberbullying, people across Australia will observe 'Do It For Dolly Day' on May 9, aiming to end bullying and prevent similar experiences for other families.
Established by Dolly's parents, Kate and Tick Everett, Dolly's Dream is an Australian foundation dedicated to altering the culture of bullying by raising awareness, providing education, and supporting individuals and families impacted by bullying, anxiety, depression, and youth suicide.
To commemorate 'Do It For Dolly Day', citizens are encouraged to don blue attire in honor of Dolly's favorite color and symbol of the fight against bullying. To help you participate, we have handpicked a selection of blue items:
- A vibrant blue hat to ensure your friend stays stylish while protected from the sun.
- An endearing blue axolotl plush toy for comfort during challenging times.
- A cozy blue hoodie to keep your friend warm throughout the day.
- A sky blue cup that keeps favorite beverages well-insulated and readily available for hydration.
- A rain cloud diffuser that brings a soft light into the room, aiding in sleep quality.
- A wearable blanket for that friend who is always cold.
- A funny shark costume that adds a touch of humor to brighten up anyone's day.
- A blue speaker that enables dancing away worries, even for a short while.
- A fragrant tea with blue cornflower petals, offering a calming effect.
- An instant print thermal camera to preserve cherished moments that bring true joy.
- An intention candle adorned with Aquamarine crystals, designed to soothe the mind and boost confidence.
