About 6 years ago, a group of women and I started sending out ´what´s good emails.´ Often times we don´t focus enough on the good things and sometimes people have a hard time accepting the good in each other´s lives. So I wanted a space where I can share joy. Since we begin with maybe 5 or 6 women, the group has expanded with each woman coming in and bringing in her community and her good people. The group now has about 40 people from liberal to conservative from Alaska to Kyrgyzstan from early 20s to mind 90s. Below is the what´s good that I sent out today and wanted to share with you. If you so choose, and would like to share you´re what´s goods on this post, I would love to receive them. Thank you for bringing good into my life.
