A story that reminds me of #HenriettaLacks and #PhineasGage. They moved our collective soul but didn't receive money for it.

#ViktorFrankl - a favorite #author - I didn't know there were recordings of him!

Belief (or faith?) in the goodness of people.

❤️👏👏 Woodruff, Putnam, and Garrett. Neighbors helping neighbors.

Watching this happen, and participating in my own communities provides feelings of hope and confidence in our OKness.

Believe in your own experiences over the garbage that's plastered all over the media.

Observations:

No one seems alarmed about armadillos moving north. We aren't building walls or concentration camps for them.
