I think we can all agree it's been a pretty somber week. But throughout the week there have been, as there always are, things to make us smile and remember all the good in the world. Here are a few things that have inspired me this week:
+ Ellen aired an episode on Tuesday (taped Monday) that showed a highlight reel of some of the acts of kindness she's featured on the show before. A must watch.
+ Coldplay's beautiful Tom Petty cover.
+ My hometown newspaper published an article about someone who created a way for residents to donate to unpaid school meal accounts. I've thought about this before as a real, tangible way to help in your community. Love this idea.
+ On the Today Show this morning one of the featured guests was Rachel Platten, singer of Fight Song. One of the things she said struck me: she said that no matter who does or doesn't like her or her work, "my only job is to write from my heart." I took that as, it's not our job to please people... it's just our job to do our thing. Takes the pressure off. ;)
+ And, of course, these two little girls. Today Hadley is 15 months old and Carrie is inching closer and closer to 4. I can't believe it. I plan to do an update on both girls here next week!
