Bright Spots News Round Up

As a country we are all in need of some bright spots and silver linings.  Here are a few I found -- people working hard at finding the good in life, and promoting it in other.

I love this story about the principal thinking through/over/under the issue of how to get his students to school every day -- and then acting on it.  LOVE IT.

I worry a little when good work is dependent on a person being exceptional at his/her work.  However, it is important to recognize the work this woman is doing -- and to know how her own story informs her work.  As I started to read this article, I almost didn't make it past the first few paragraphs. But hang in there, it will be worth it.

This story demonstrates the importance of contact (and perhaps the openness of younger generation) -- if you asked these basketball players a few years ago how they felt about transgendered people, they might not have had such a consistent answer.  Lovely story about community.
