As 2016 ends, I thought it would be helpful if we could post some good things that have happened. 🙂

Here's one I found today:

For Native Americans, new national monument a rare victory

Of course, not everyone is happy...

Wishing all HP-ers a peaceful, healthy, fulfilling and happy 2017!

Love and peace,

Judy

“Everything we do is in prayer here, and prayer is an essential part of revitalization of our cultures and our languages.”

Shsme for those who believed a God listens that their prayers were not answered a very long time ago.

Thank you Amy! That's like a breath of fresh air. 🙂 I've just booked-marked the site.

What people often don't realise is that bad news makes the headlines because it's not the norm. Every hour, every day, people are being honest, kind, unselfish, responsible etc, but because it's the norm, it isn't reported. And because we get a daily diet of bad news (especially in these days of social media, when a lot of it is simply made up nonsense) we tend to feel hopeless and victimised.

I've found lots of inspiration from the people featured on the CS Monitor's[url] People Making a Difference [/url] pages. Many change-agents and difference-makers seem to be women and I rejoice that, especially in poorer countries, when they have low social standing, women are grasping the mettle and making a difference!

That is good. Thanks.
The Syrian ceasefire looks as if it might hold, as well.
