“Seek and you’ll find; Knock and the door will open.”

There is a movement going on…a movement of the heart. It is subtle and quiet and simple, but the evidence is right here on our website. Individuals are responding in significant numbers to messages and stories of kindness and generosity.

The most dramatic example of the movement is a meme we affectionately call, Blue Door. Since the original post on Facebook in March 2018, Blue Door has reached almost 2.5 million people, with over 200,000 reactions, comments and shares. Currently, Blue Door is on its Third Wave of viral sharing (we love it when we see it pop up independently on our feeds, indicating a distantly-connected sharer!).

We think this says a lot about what you, our readers, are seeking these days – messages that give you courage and ways to defend against and defeat the rhetoric of fear and hate.

Proofs of a Caring Community

Caring means having a connection with others and being concerned for their wellbeing. There are plenty of ways to show kindness to others besides giving money. WalletHub has identified critical actions and metrics that show what “Care” actually looks like in three important ways: Caring for the community, Caring in the workforce and caring for the vulnerable.

Give the Good Gift. It’s easy. It matters.

There is a lot going on in the world that needs help. It might be tempting to feel overwhelmed by it all – or even as if a drop in the bucket doesn’t really matter. As if!

Your very intention to do good lightens your heart, your conscious well-being. When you make the intention tangible for the benefit of someone else – well, it is like a ripple of goodness across the universe! One of our Facebook friends (thank you, Carol Jean Mawby!) says that “Hope means confident expectation.” Yes. No fear, no doubt, no fail. Hope is substance.

There are organizations filled with hope and practical support for families, children, wildlife, refugees, homeless – our Good Gift page makes it easy to find and give. Go here to get started. This is your opportunity to share a gift that expresses your confident expectation!
