Welcome to Our Good News Network! This will be a place you can come during the week and get a little pick me up! With all the bad news out there it is hard to imagine what tomorrow will bring. However, Ariel and I are finding fascinating, wonderful acts of humanity exist all around the world! We want to bring these uplifting stories to you. We want to encourage you to step up to the plate and create change in your neighborhood. Or possibly join in a project that is already going.

Stop Staring and Start Learning!
The Most Inspirational Stories of 2012
Once called "The World's Ugliest Woman," Lizzie Velasquez was born with a medical
condition so rare that just two other people in the world are thought to have
it. She weighs just 60 pounds and has no adipose tissue, and cannot create
muscle, store energy, or gain weight. She inspired women the world over earlier
this year when, during an interview with CNN, she said that people "should
stop staring and start learning." Since then, she told Yahoo! Shine, she's
been flooded with speaking requests and supportive emails. In 2013 she's hoping
write her third book (her second, "Be Beautiful, Be You" came out in September),
continue her work as a motivational speaker, and meet as many people as possible
in 2013.
"There are so many different people out there with so many
different stories," she told Yahoo! Shine. "Hearing their stories is what
inspires me. That's what keeps me going."
Yahoo! readers called
Velasquez's story one of the most-inspirational pieces they read in 2012 and praised
her for her inner beauty and strength
