Inspiring Quote

| “Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.” –Kurt Vonnegut |

 Editor’s note: Dear Friends, It has been a tough week in the news. Although we know that mainstream media tends to focus on the negative and the sensational, it can easily make us go into despair about the world.

This week’s stories highlight strangers crossing each others’ lives in beautiful ways. –Guri |
