I think, with what happened in Norway, Amy’s passing, & the countless other tragedies that are happening in the world right now, constantly-
we need to make an active effort to put some light & joy into the world. we should every day, really. but today, let’s all do something good
plant something. go volunteer somewhere. cheer someone up. help a stranger. listen to someone’s life story. cook for a homeless person.
today, do something good. whatever it is. are you with me?
