 Editor’s note: Dear Friends, This week I’m reminded of the power and strength that resides in each of us. I was really inspired by some of the stories this week, where individuals find their inner strength or help another person reclaim their own power. The ability to be strong not just in the face of our own adversities, but be wholeheartedly emphatic with others, while they fight their own battles is the stuff of greatness. — Guri |

Building a Reading Revolution
As more and more people obsessively stare into their smart phones and tablets, the world seemingly grows a little more disconnected. But the folks at The Reader Organization, an award-winning charity and social enterprise, have gone about reversing that trend by offering to get people together to simply read aloud to each other. The benefits of this straightforward exercise are quite evident: improved self-confidence, a heightened sense of belonging, and a chance to interact with people you wouldn’t otherwise meet in your normal day-to-day life. { read more }
