Mystery Diner

I saw this story today, but it looks like this happened a couple of months ago. Nonetheless, it is a great story to end the year with.

A family with a special needs child went to dinner. As the dinner progressed, the child became very loud. It was a situation that would make many people turn around and judge the child and the family.
As they were about to leave, the waitress presented them with a note from another customer.
I would not do the story justice if I were to just summarize it. You must read it yourself to reap the full benefit.

With this article, I close 2013 and wish everyone a great 2014.
May the New Year bring you opportunities to make "positive headlines" in someone's life.

Helping the Elderly

In the past, I have posted articles about fundraising benefiting young children or families in need, especially during the holiday season.

Today, the article is about two different companies donating together about $4,000 to ANGELS, an organization helping elderly people by making it possible for them to stay in their own homes.

It makes me happy to know that there are organizations catering to the elderly. Children are our future and the elderly are our past. We would not be here today were it not for the elderly once caring for us, taking care of us, and teaching us in our younger years.

May we always show our elderly the respect and the care they deserve and need.

Project Joy

Toys and clothes were donated to hundreds of children through Project Joy in Brookings, ND.

What makes this amazing is that in only one week the community was able to gather enough donations to help those children. In years past, the room would have been filled with donations the week before it was time to distribute. This year, however, things did not get off to a good start. Thanks to the community, though, the donations started pouring in and those children were able to have a Merry Christmas.

Sarah's Wish

An amazing story about an amazing young woman.
A senior in high school, Sarah had a senior project she wanted to complete. Sarah's wish was to raise enough money to make a child's wish come true. Her family was once the recipient of Make a Wish Foundation. Her whole family was able to go to Disney World and Sarah wanted to raise enough money to grant that same wish to another child. Thanks to the support of many she was able to raise enough money to make that wish come true for another child and his/her family.
Way to go Sarah. Many wishes for a great future.

Reaching Out After Tragic Loss

Back in September, a family suffered the tragic loss of a husband and father.
In December, another family is touched and inspired by the book The Sparkle Box.

Although seemingly unrelated, the combination of the two very different events brought a community to step in and help the first family by presenting them with the blueprint and the ceremonial key to what will be their new home. A very moving story that restores faith in humanity.

It is an act of kindness that will be forever cherished by the widow and children.

May we all find ways to help those around us. It is not until we stop and think of others that we come to recognize the blessings bestowed upon us.

Out of This World

Today, the news I want to share is one that repeats every year. It is a good news and a news of hope and love. It is the news of our Savior's birth.

As the Christian world celebrates the birth of our Savior, Jesus the Christ, I want to share with you that He did indeed came to earth as it was foretold by prophets of old.

Starting at a Young Age

Preschoolers at the Bedford Children's Center in Bedford, MA learned about "Caring, Giving, and Sharing" during the month of November. This past Thursday, they practiced what they were taught and donated toys they collected during this time to the local fire department to be given to families in need.

It goes to show that you are never to young to learn about serving others.

It Is Now Your Turn to Create a Miracle

For today, I am going to change the direction of the blog.

As I was searching for a good news article, I stumbled upon this one.
It is the story of a woman who has been waiting on a heart transplant. This past Saturday, they received the news a heart was found. On Sunday, they were told that due to the weather, they could not get the heart to the hospital.

Please take a moment to read the article and take a moment to pray in  your own way and in your own language. Prayer works. Heavenly Father listens, no matter the language, mo matter the "religion."

It is your turn to make a difference and it will only take a few minutes of your time.

The family has a website, listed in the article, where people can donate money, if they are able to do so, or just sign the guestbook. It will help them to know that people care.

Share this message, let it go around the world. Kindness and caring has no borders and no language barriers. Kindness and caring is spoken with the universal language of love.

There Is Yet Hope

There is yet hope for our world when young people are involved in helping others.

I have posted stories before about youth doing something special for those in need and, as long as I can find them, I will continue posting them because I want to recognize them for the good they have in them. They are, after all, our future leaders.

The story tonight is that of a teenager who started her own toy drive when she was in elementary school. To date, she has collected over 4000 toys to benefit about 400 families. How fantastic is this!

The next time to walk around your neighborhood, or go to the store, or the movies, or a restaurant and you see a young person do a good deed, take the time to thank him or her.
The next time you hear of a young person in your area spearheading or just helping in a good cause, make sure you support him or her.

If we thank them, encourage them, and support them, they will continue doing their service. The world can only became a better place because of them.

Toys for Tots

The Career and Technology Center in Sesquahanna County, PA donated toys made by the students of their carpentry department to the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots program. More power to these students who shared their time and talents to make some children happy during this Christmas season.

It is the time of year for families get together to make memories they will remember for years to come. Some have pictures taken to send to loved ones. For some families though taking pictures is not in the budget, unless they happen to live in Ambler, PA where a professional photographer is offering her services with no charge to those less fortunate.

Both articles go to show that it does not matter what our talents are as there is a way for us to serve others in our own special way.

10 Years of Fundraising

For the past ten years, the employees and customers of a Nashville based company raised money for Cure 4 Kids. When they started the challenge, in 2004, their goal was to raise $1 million over the period of ten years.Through their efforts, the goal was not only reached but exceeded.

In Culvert City the Chamber sponsored a golf tournament which raised money for the local schools. With all the budget cuts school systems have to suffer, these extra funds will be a welcome gift.

As long as there will be people who care, there will always be good news to read and share.

A Small Treasure for the Children

This article comes from across the ocean, the Atlantic Ocean that is.

Our stop is in Pordenone, Italy and the protagonist is a nun.

She was left orphan at the age of 10. An illness had taken both her parents a few months from each other.
She was raised by an uncle and his family. As she decided she was going to enter the convent, she left her parents' house to them.
As the uncle decided to finally do some work to the house, he discovered a small trunk with her dad's name on it. They called her and they opened the trunk together.
Inside, along with some personal items, there were some treasury bonds which were turned in and yielded a small fortune. The nun, after leaving some to her uncle and family, donated the residual to programs for the less fortunate children.

Not only she was able to get some items to remind her of her parents but some children will get things they need.

Double the Good News!

This article is about a toddler who will receive a five-organ transplant to rectify a condition which has caused him to miss Christmas at home every single year of his young life. There is hope that this Christmas, the young boy will be able to spend it at home.

You may wonder why this is double the good news. Well, for me, it is a double good news because when the parents where still expecting, they were told of the child's conditions and the suggestion was made to have an abortion. They chose to bring him to term anyway because, in the words of the mother, "...he's coming with whatever he has."

I admire this family for the courage to welcome this child in their lives and do all that they can to make it a good and long one!

Buddy Bench

How many times have you felt alone or upset and needed someone to talk to or someone who would just listen? And can you recall your school years? How many time did you experience those same feelings?

May be you are the blessed one and never have to experience such sad moments. However, for those school children enrolled at Roundtown Elementary School, in York, PA who might be feeling alone or upset there is now a buddy bench they can use. One of their classmates saw the idea in a brochure for a German school and decided to try it out at his school. Way to go Christian! We should all try to help one another.

In Murray, UT a quilt raffle will raise money which will benefit eight different families of the area. Along with the raffle, students have participated and will continue to participate in various activities aimed at gathering goods to benefit the needy.

There is yet hope for this world when there are students of various ages engaged in helping those in need of help.

Wreaths Across America

Gone but not forgotten. A Maine company made holiday wreaths that were donated and placed on tombs of veterans. This event, Wreaths Across America, took place in many other cemeteries across the U.S. A simple gesture to remember those who gave their lives that we might have our freedoms.

From wreaths to teddy bears. A Utah bank hosts a teddy bear collection event to gather stuffed animals to be given to children during times of trauma. Stuffed animals have been a soothing item for children who are experiencing physical and emotional distress for a long time. May be, we can check with our local organizations to see if we can contribute to or start such a collection in our area!

What heartwarming event has happened in your town these last couple of days?

To Mom with Love

Tonight's story is actually a video of a young girl who, during her school choral performance, decided to sign the whole song so that mom could understand the lyrics. A touching video that will warm your heart. It was a total surprise for mom and I am sure it made her heart swell with love and pride for her little girl.

On to a different video story. I have to admit, I am not a sports person. I generally skip over anything that talks about sports and their participants. However, tonight, I have made an exception. As I was searching for positive news to share, I came across a Yahoo article about this basketball player who brought a smile to a young fan by literally donating his shirt off his back.

When was the last time you did something unexpected that made someone's day?

Atlanticville

The area of Atlanticville, NJ takes home the prize for the most positive headlines for the day!

Local businesses and citizens work together in three different programs to aid various groups.

1. Many adults and children love trains. This coming weekend, visitors can gain access to a train show by donating an unwrapped toy to be given to the Toys for Tots program. One can also donate money which will be used to purchase toys.

2. Who would have ever thought about a diaper drive? The Booskerdoo Coffee company did! Residents have the chance to bring in unopened packs of diapers through the end of December.

3. From a coffee house to a car dealership, also through the end of the month, locals can bring in non-perishable food items which will benefit the local FoodBank. The organization helps local pantries, soup kitchens and also provides other services to help citizens in need.

May we all listen to the Spirit of Giving this holiday season and beyond!

Happy Passengers

If you were one of the 250 passengers on a Calgary bound WestJet flight, you now know that wishes can come true.
Unknown to them, as passengers shared their wish with Santa, the airline proceeded to fulfill those wishes and, at destination, delivered the gifts via one of the baggage carousels.
There is still goodness around us!

This next story did not make the news and it is a much smaller event. Nonetheless, it was important in the lives of those involved.
Today, a group of children, with respective teachers, went on a field trip and had lunch at a local restaurant. At the end of the meal, each child was given a gift bag to take home. It was great to see the smiles on the faces of those students and it is amazing how something so small can bring a smile so big! Thank you Mellow Mushroom for making their day!

The Rain Did Not Stop the Money from Pouring In

There was supposed to be a Torch Relay this past Saturday to benefit Harbor House. It did not happen because of the rain; however, this did not stop the participating schools and sponsors to pour the collected money into the non-profit program to benefit children in the community. Way to go people!

And now, a totally different kind of news. This one is about a tiny baby waiting for a heart transplant. On Sunday, after almost four months, the miracle happened: a heart was found and airlifted to the hospital were surgery was performed. Almost 24 hours later, mom snapped a shot of her smiling baby! This is not just a positive headline, it as an awesome one!
May you have a wonderful life Baby Silas :)

Food Collected

I just got home from a Christmas program and I am exhausted; however, I felt I needed to find at least one article to post as good news of the day.

This snapshot focuses on Maurice's, a store at the mall, surpassing its goal to collect 500 food items to be donated to a local charity. Maurice's employees received more than double their goal. Way to go Maurice's! Many people will benefit from your effort!

I realize that November and December turn out to be the months of giving in the Spirit of the season; however, it is my hope that this kind and generous spirit will continue on into the new year until the 2014 holidays. Wouldn't it be nice if this kind of compassion and help were offered all through the year?

Great Santa Run

There were 11,000 Red Santa Suits running down the streets of Las Vegas, NV. earlier today. This yearly 5k run and mile long walk brought in money to help programs for individuals that are intellectually disabled. Similar events took place on three other continents with Las Vegas being the fourth and the one with the most participants.

And in Mesquite, NV, five generations came together to raise money as bell ringers with the Salvation Army. With ages ranging from 1 to 92, the family spent Monday afternoon together playing bells, and a saxophone, all decked with red Christmas hats and the well known Salvation Army apron.

Kids Night Out

Is there anything better than going out to enjoy a show and know that the price of the ticket will benefit the youth of the area?
Well, Roman families of Georgia had the opportunity to find out on Dec. 5 as they attended a show and fun activities presented by the local theater. The proceeds of ticket sale will benefit the Rome-Floyd County Commission on Children and Youth.

Meanwhile, Athenian families of Georgia can gear up to participate in the annual UGA Miracle Classic City Tour of Homes to benefit Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. UGA Miracle does not limit itself to tours of homes during the holidays, but it includes also other activities for the benefit of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. In the past 18 years they have been able to raise over $3 million of which 100% went directly to the kids and the hospital.

Rescue Mission to Give Hope

Yesterday, I wrote of an organization in Illinois that has been helping during the holiday season for over 30 years.

Today, the focus is on the Bay Area Rescue Mission, in California, which has been in the business of helping those in need all year round since 1965!

The Mission offers meals, beds, job training, and other needed services all through the year, but it is during the weeks of Thanksgiving and Christmas that they rev up in order to serve thousands of traditional meals to those who would not otherwise have any.

I know there are other organizations out there, across the U.S. and perhaps the world whose scope is to help the less fortunate. Reading about their efforts to ease a burden, provide a meal, a bed, or a service is a heartwarming experience.

Spirit of the Season

In Carol Stream, IL residents gathered food, toys, and other items for more than 30 years in the row. The gifts will be delivered this coming Dec. 12. When you click on the link, you will  see a picture of last year's volunteers wrapping the donated items. It will warm your heart!

In Arthur, IL firefighters collected money for their Christmas Food and Toy Program. Employees at the local IGA contributed by collecting funds on their own and donating it to the program. Several needy families will be receiving boxes filled with food and toys thanks to this program and its participants.

In the Spirit of the Season, find a local organization and see how you can help making this time a little bit brighter for those who are struggling. And as you do so, may your Christmas be brighter too.

"Trees for Charity" Rakes in Cash

Vernal's dinner and raffle fundraising event, started in 1997, raised $200,000 to be shared among several local charities. It was the best outcome since its inception. 

Sixty trees were auctioned off to about 400 participants. Organizations such as Utah Foster Care Foundation, American Cancer Society, and Heart 4 Harvest will receive part of the proceeds.

You don't have to be part of an organized event to make the difference in someone's life. A St. George, UT family has decided to spend their Christmas delivering presents and medical supplies to a village in Guatemala. 

Have you ever decided to skip a purchase and use that money to buy something for someone in need? If you haven't, perhaps, this Christmas might just be the beginning of a new tradition for your family.

Spaghetti Anyone?

Yesterday was a shopping day for the children in the Kids 'N Cops program in Eau Claire, WI. The program was started in 2010 and allows children to buy Christmas toys they would not otherwise be able to purchase.

The money for the shopping spree was raised by selling tickets to a spaghetti dinner to members of the community. Cops "...traded their cuffs and radios for gloves and tongs to serve hundreds of meals." 

Check around your community to see if they have programs to benefit children during this time of year. If none are present, consider uniting forces with a community organization and make this Christmas season a little bit more special for the children in your area.

Bless Friday

Thanksgiving is over and the shopping season has begun with the famous Black Friday events throughout the nation. Everywhere, stores have offered items at a discount to kick off sales in preparation for the Christmas holiday. People flocked to the stores, well.... stampeded to the stores in order to buy presents for family and friends and, possibly, themselves.

To put Christ back into Christmas, some churches in Texas participated in the "Bless Friday" event. This annual occurrence aims at using the famous shopping day to serve the community instead. It is a way to remember why Christmas exists. It does not exists to open presents we soon forget about. It exists to celebrate the birth of Christ, One who served others and One who loved others.

In a world where people are becoming more self centered every day, it is good news to hear of individuals who serve others instead!

Have you served someone today?

Listen to the Music Playing

Rockaway, NY suffered major damage, in October 2012, due to Hurricane Sandy.

With the memories still fresh of their catastrophe, this week, the residents of the community thought of the devastated villages in the Philippines and organized a concert featuring several bands in order to raise funds to be sent to the typhoon torn areas. Team Rubicon is in charge of the distribution of funds. This is the same organization that helped Rockaway residents during their time of need, and the residents have not forgotten it.

You don't have to go to the concert to donate money. Just go to the Team Rubicon page and click on their link or  click here.

Raising Money for a Cause

There are several fund raising opportunities throughout the year and each to benefit various groups or individuals.

The one that has just taken place in Rome, GA was the Charity Wreath Auction and it has raised money to be donated to area cancer patients and their families. A lot of work went into creating the wreaths but the cause made it worth it.

In Charleston, WV the Salvation Army is accepting donations to help "a father build a livable home." After suffering major setbacks, due to the illness of one of his children, this husband and father is doing all he can to improve conditions for his wife and children. This is an inspirational story with a good ending.

My parents always say, "Above all health! When you are healthy, you can do anything you want and need to do!" How true are these words. Sometimes, those of us who are healthy, take this blessing for granted. May we never do that again and may we reach out to those who need a word of comfort and a helping hand.

A Different Kind of Stuffing

Today, Americans celebrate the Thanksgiving Holiday complete with turkey, vegetables, rolls, dessert, and... the stuffing!

Here is a young lady whose stuffing has a total different outcome than your seasonal one. Hers is fluffy and made to snuggle! It fills not a turkey but a bear, a teddy bear, to be precise. Her story is inspiring and brings hope not only to the children in the hospital but to a world that, at times, seems to have lots its humanity.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone and thank you Nina Manuel for your service, kindness, and generosity.

And remember, you don't have to be American to be thankful for your blessings and to find a way to bless others around you.

A Different Kind of Dinner

I have been posting about dinners to feed the community during the Thanksgiving Holidays.

This is about another kind of dinner. It is one with and admission charge because all the proceeds will then benefit a Christmas toys and clothes drive for children. This dinner was held last Sunday in Renville County, ND. If you want to read the whole story and will click on the link, you will need to scroll to the second article.

On a total different subject, in Prescott, AZ a small group raised money for breast cancer research. Each of the five participants had a different reason for their involvement with the project but all five had the same final goal. Their success has already them thinking about next year's finish line.

There are many worthwhile causes and events throughout the year. What if we each found something we could help with, either financially or by giving of our time, talents, and efforts?

As Mother Teresa said, "Never worry about numbers. Help one person at the time and always start with the person nearest you."

Feeding the Community

The Cartersville community held its yearly Feed the Community Dinner two days ago. They served a Thanksgiving style dinner to about 1,500 people. Along with a warm meal, they offered other services, free of charge to the attendees.

Rome will host its community dinner on Thanksgiving day. Other communities may have already done theirs as well or will be offering it in the next couple of days.

Along with the Thanksgiving dinner, let us not forget the countless meals prepared every week by churches all around the community to feed the poor of the area. These events no longer make the news, but they are a reminder that kindness and service do exist on weeks other than Thanksgiving week.

If you have never helped with these types of events, don't worry. You can start now. One can of peas, or corn, etc. may not seem much, but along with other donated items will be enough to feed those less fortunate.

If finances do not allow you to donate food, perhaps you can donate some of your time. There are many worthwhile volunteer opportunities. 

Together, as members of our community, we can make a difference and make the world a better place, one community at the time.

Positive Stories

As I was searching for positive stories to share, I stumbled upon a series of websites that publish good news.

I was surprised and happy.

I did not think I was the only one with the desire to find uplifting news to share, but I did not realize that there were this many.
So, for today, I am going to link you to those sites in hope that you will be able to find stories to help you start your day right and get you the charge you need to go forth with a contagiously positive attitude, no matter what your circumstances are.

Make a Hero. This website is focused on inspiring individuals with disabilities and overcoming limitations.

Bringing Hope Home. Especially for people and families who have dealt or deal with cancer.

Huffpost Good News. Many of us may be familiar with Huffington Post. This is their good news version. There are stories for everyone.

ABC Good News. Even the famous abc NEWS reports on good news.

Happy News. Their caption reads: Real News. Compelling Stories. Always Positive.

Daily Good for news that inspires.

Sunny Skyz. Only positive and uplifting news for you to start off your day.

Good News Network. Geri Weis-Corbley has been delivering good news since the late 90s. Read all about her purpose for her website and then read the news she shares.

TODAY Good News. Videos and stories are yours to watch and read.

I have only quickly looked at the first page of these websites, but the amazing thing is that I don't recall seeing the same information on any of them.
This is uplifting on its own as it makes you realize that there is still good in the world.

Some of these are stories of survival. Some are stories of unselfishness. And then there are others of different kind. All of them can bring a ray of sunshine in your day.

So, if you are looking to recharge your mood, put down the coffee and dive into the good news :)

The Good Samaritan

Meet Joel Hartman. He lost his wife whom he loved very much; he lost everything else  he had and he is now homeless.

In spite of his fate, he has kept his integrity and when he found a wallet belonging to a tourist, he returned it and walked away.

The article's headline focuses on the hotel in Atlanta, where the tourist is staying, offering Hartman a room, but the real story is about Joel. He has nothing, yet he returns something of value instead of going on a shopping spree.

He is not the first homeless individual to have shown integrity. Even if in dire need, these individuals have done the right thing.

This past September, in Boston, a homeless man returns a backpack full of money.
In February, a Missouri homeless man returns a diamond ring which had been mistakenly donated to him.

If you had been in their shoes, what would you have done?

Operation Christmas Child

For many of us, Christmas gifts are a given. Some people may have already begun their shopping; others may be waiting for Black Friday to begin.

For many others, though, Christmas gifts are not a given. Finances and/or health issues make these gifts just a wish and nothing more.

The good news is that there are organizations all across the globe to help make Christmas gifts a reality for some of these individuals, especially children.
Operation Christmas Child has begun its box packing. With the help of volunteer, boxes are packed with things many of us take for granted but mean the world to these children. Click on the above link to read the "Positive Headline" for the day.

If you can, consider purchasing something that can be donated to any organizations who bring a smile to these children on Christmas morning.

If you cannot afford a gift, consider donating some of your time to help pack boxes or distribute them.

You can make the difference and create a "Positive Headline" of your own!

Tangelo Park Program

This was not found in a newspaper but on Facebook.
It is not recent news but it is still positive and it warms the heart.

The article is about Harris Rosen and his philanthropic works, especially the Tangelo Park Program aimed to help children of that community stay in school and continue their education all the way through college.

Many of us do not have the means to follow in Rosen's footsteps, but we can mentor and tutor those children who otherwise would have no support.

Money Raised

Today we start with Bethel, CT., with an article which was posted on the 17th.
A group of children sold lemonade in order to raise funds to be donated to a non-profit organization for children with life threatening and serious illnesses.

More than once children have stepped up and done amazing things to help others. I challenge each of us to find a way to reach out and make a difference in someone's life.

Anchorage, AK is next. The American Legion Post No. 1 has raised money to donate to the Alaska National Guard's Operation Santa Claus aimed to support "remote Alaskan villages during the holiday season."

Do you have something positive to share? It does not have to be a headline in the paper. You can make your own personal experience a "Positive Headline!"

Victory Bowl

I don't ever follow sports or sport teams, but this article caught my eye.

Victory Bowl schools are challenging each other not only on the field but also on the streets by trying to collect food items to be donated to the local community kitchen.

This next event happened almost two weeks ago, but I saw it today for the first time. A 92 years old gentleman shields a young girl as a horse tramples over them. Watch the video found on the GodVine.

Have you done any good today?

"Let It Snow"

Tonight we go to Arizona for our positive headlines!

Two local Ahwatukee, AZ artists decorated and donated a Christmas tree to a Child Crisis Center and the MANA House respectively. This is a project that started several years back and is still going strong :)
Have you ever thought of decorating a Christmas tree and donating it to a local organization to give residents a brighter Christmas? Well, you can always start with this Christmas!

A Good Samaritan in Phoenix comes to the aid of a woman pinned under her car.
This happened a week ago but today the police was able to find the Good Samaritan, although no name was released.
It feels great to know that there are still people who do what they can to help when emergencies arise. Kudos to you, Good Samaritan, for helping out!

"A Brush with Kindness"

The story today involves volunteers with Habitat for Humanity as they apply a fresh coat of paint as part of their project "A Brush with Kindness."
According to the paper, "Habitat's ongoing "A Brush with Kindness" project helps homeowners in need repaint the outside of their home."


The next account is from Clay County, Mississippi. It is a different brush with kindness and one that is frequently heard of as Thanksgiving approaches: More than 2000 were served a Thanksgiving feast.

Have you heard of any feel good stories today in your area?

Bringing Warmth

I found the article in our local newspaper and I thought it was going to be a great candidate for this blog.

As winter approaches, a local student is gearing up, for the fourth year in a row, to collect blankets and quilts to donate to local needy families.

Up next, from Midvale, UT... teenage volunteers brought lunch and warm winter coats to residents of The Road Home's community Winter Shelter Saturday.

It may be easier for me to find articles during these next two months, because of the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays, than the rest of the year. None the less, I am going to do my best to daily find uplifting news to share with you.

If nothing else, get out there, do something nice, and then report it to me that I might publish it here :)

May the spirit of giving, kindness, and love be with you now and the rest of the year, and may you find this blog to bring hope and light into your life.

Positive Headlines

I decided I was going to create a blog dedicated to positive news...

In a world overwhelmed by negative things (wars, natural disasters, murders, deceit, ...) there is need for something positive to help us believe there is still good in it, because there is.

It is just hard to find and focus on the positive when majority of information is down right depressing! Hence, I figured that if I could create a blog where one could find uplifting news, and only uplifting news, it was worth the work of sifting through gloomy information.

Please feel free to contact me with your positive news that I might include it in the blog and, hopefully, bring a ray of sunshine in an otherwise cloudy day!
