THOUGHTS ON THE GOOD NEWS GROUP...




This feels so good, doesn't it?!!!



So, I realize my idea of good news and how to utilize this space may be different from that of others.

For example, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all the animal good news stories which saturate social media each day (especially stories which show how kind and loving and wonderful our animal friends are), but that's just it: Those stories are shared everywhere, which is fantastic. That's why I don't share as many of those stories, but sometimes I just can't help myself.

Good news involving humans isn't found quite as easily. Whether it's good news involving humans and the environment, education, the economy, health, or interpersonal stories with other humans, those are the types of stories I, personally, tend to focus on sharing.

If, by some miracle, so much good news of all types starts being shared here and there's a need to organize it more, we can do that.

I've been organizing videos and articles for a while at two separate sites, and you're welcome to use them the same way: Wishadoo! video library is a great go-to space for uplifting videos, and Our Collective Good is an online magazine I'm trying to maintain where I share many of the same things I will here (I won't link there unless I've created an original post, however). I need to be organized, so I create spaces to do just that.

If you have thoughts or suggestions about this brand new space, let me know, please.
