My usual routine hasn't changed in years, before mom duty kicks in and I'm summoned to the kitchen to makes pancakes ,I sneak downstairs to make my green tea and peruse the web for news stories to see what is happening in the world I live in . I found what I was reading was depressing .. dark and dreary ..political ,social injustice, murder, corruption and war. I know we all need to know what is happening around us in order to try to fix things but its not a good way to start your day.Where are all the good news stories, the ones to inspire others to do good, to give back..to help others?
Its a New Year ( 2019) TIME FOR A CHANGE
I find myself looking for stories of amazing people who are trying to make this world a better place. What I see being reported though are the same groups over and over ( not taking anything away from the great things they do) and not a word on the many fly under the radar groups or people, the ones no one talks about but do SOOO many great things .. people of character, full of compassion and humanity, all walks of life, some rich, some poor, but all with the same goal..TO HELP OTHERS .
The last three years of my journey have been about surviving a profound loss and keeping Alyssa's legacy alive. to The Sunshine Squad ( created in her honour ) has helped me do that. In the short 17 yrs that Alyssa was here, her love for people and willingness to help them will be what she is remembered for .The members of the SS are the same , full of support , kindness and love helping others. ( I will write about them later).
Being Kind is not about the recognition or kudos BUT people need to know about these groups, it inspires others to be kind, to give back , to pay it forward..to bring light into the darkness. I have had the honour of meeting some of these people and groups and with that said..
Let me tell you some good news .. Not all superheroes wear capes..This Island of Newfoundland is full of amazing people that no one knows about
