Share some good stuff
Sometimes we get so overwhelmed with the bad news that we forget that there are good things going on around us all the time. We can’t change the headlines, but we can seek out that which is good, that which is uplifting, that which shines with a positive radiance - the good stuff. Here’s some recent feel-great stories:
Charlotte is feeling ducky in Ducktown.
Valmg was encourage to find a community that is accepting and encouraging towards those with Down Syndrome in North Bergen NJ honors Down Syndrome Awareness month.
Lisa brought a grin to my face with Books for Charity.
Karen is a real sweetheart and shared her own story of a Sweet Surprise.
Leigh wants us all to know about some Good News, for a change
Finally, I just had to share a story about an Amazing Athlete.
There’s good news in your own backyard, too. I hope we’ve inspired you to look beyond the ugly headlines and find some good stuff!
Mahalo and a tip of the hat to Valmg for the sunshiny icon. I haven’t had a chance to try to turn it into a button yet, but participants, feel free to use it in your own post directing your readers to this post. Let’s get the word out that we like to Share Some Good Stuff!

Mahalo, Val. I’m very impressed a the odds he had to overcome and the effort he had to make to get himself ready - completing the entire triathlon is an amazing accomplishment even for the able-bodied.

Beth, Share Some Good Stuff runs every Thursday on my blog. Participation is easy. Find a good news story in your own community and blog it (Sunday papers are a great source!) Email me the link (there’s a contact button in my right sidebar.) You can send it as soon as you post, and your post can run any day you want. I collect all of the links each week and hook everyone up in my post on Thursday. I’m looking forward to good news from you soon!
