February 4, 2013 a project of ServiceSpace Invisible threads are the strongest ties. - Friedrich Nietzsche - Rescue of Burned Puppy Comes Full Circle "Anyone who has ever saved an animal will tell you that its the kind of experience that shakes up your DNA. You won't regrow hair on a balding head or suddenly run a four-minute-mile, but there is a pulse of positive energy that churns through the human body much like a twister. In some cases, fragments of that emotional explosion are powerful enough to be credited with modern medical miracles. And for one Texas woman, the experience was profound enough to help wake her from a coma." A true story about the rescue of a burned puppy -- and how it came full circle soon after. { read more } Be The Change Honor the invisible threads in your life today -- reach out to one for whom you gratitude.

February 3, 2013 a project of ServiceSpace It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end. - Ernest Hemingway - Journeys for Good "A little more than three years ago, Steve and Joanie Wynn were looking to get out of a rut. Their video production company, Bayside Entertainment, was in a slump along with the rest of the economy. So when Joanie Wynn stumbled upon Roadmonkey Adventure Philanthropy, a fledgling business started by a former New York Times war correspondent, she thought, here's a chance to do something different -- document six women volunteering at a school for AIDS orphans in Tanzania while also enjoying a trip abroad and scaling Mount Kilimanjaro. The experience was "life-changing." The Muir Beach couple returned with a lot more than a sense of adventure and some great footage..." { read more } Be The Change Learn more about Journeys for Good { more } COMMENT | RATE               Related Good News 98-Year-Old Woman Earns Judo's Highest Honor Mystery Knitter's Olympic Masterpiece Human Spirit Rises to Meet Japan's Tsunami The Poorest & Most Generous President in the World One of the Greatest Love Stories Ever Today You, Tomorrow Me Homeless Kid Wows Korea The 29-Year-Old Stockbroker Who Saved 699 Lives DailyGood is a volunteer-run initiative that delivers "good news" to 125,016 subscribers.

February 2, 2013 a project of ServiceSpace It was cold, so this great gratitude would fill me every time the sun finally came out. I actually began bowing to it. It was amazing. The gratitude filled me so viscerally that I would just bow to the sun. Oh, thank you. - â€"Adam Campbell - A Taste For Life: Alan Campbell Every now and then, if you're lucky, you run across someone like Adam Campbell. In this interview he shares one key insight after another. "If you think about a city, almost every single thing that you see is artificial. It's created in the minds of men and women and is a projection of our own ideas. And there is a great paucity of imagination there. Everything is in straight lines. Everything has "organization" to it. I'm not saying that we're not natural. I'm just saying we've created a world that has given us a false sense of understanding of how patterns operate in the world. So the world that we create, recreates us. And it's a very strange existence we live in now, and we don't realize it's strange. We adapt to it. It lives and breathes us."

The Legacy of Baghcheban

February 1, 2013 a project of ServiceSpace Anything that has real and lasting value is always a gift from within. - Franz Kafka - The Legacy of Baghcheban "One day three deaf boys were brought to the school. No one in all of Iran in all of its history had ever thought of educating a deaf person. Everyone believed the deaf to be uneducable; they were treated as imbeciles. But Baghcheban could not ignore these three children. He tried to make them laugh, to reach them, to connect. He went to sleep that night haunted by the confusion and loneliness he had seen in their eyes. He worked and worked at communication, first using mime and inventing hand signals, then he developed a visual hand alphabet. Baghcheban saw these boys through the eyes of a poet, and the poet had to give language to these isolated children. He did not see their deafness; he saw their need, a human hunger for self expression -- for poetry." A touching story of Iran's sign language pioneer -- and the continued ripples of his life. { read more } Be The Change "Dare to reach out your hand into the darkness, to pull another hand into the light."
