Did you know?

Did you know that Burt from Burt's Bees is an accomplished photographer? I just watched the movie "Burt's Buzz" and was pretty fascinated by his photography. There is more photography in the movie than what I can find on the internet. His images are both powerful and meaningful. If you would like to learn more you should watch the movie or check out this article:

If we left...

I stumbled across this article on NPR and thought that I had to share it. Why? Because I am thankful for all of the kindness and love that you can still find in this world. Sadness and anger are all over the news. Tales of horrific acts. If you really look though, you see the beauty. It might not be on the news, it might be right next to you. The student who shares their lunch with someone else. The stranger on the bus helping someone pick up their groceries after their bag breaks. The friend offering a hug after a really hard day. So if you are ever feeling down, and like the world is a terrible place, remember all the good. All the love, all the compassion, all the beauty. You too can spread that light.
