Love amid the Coronavirus Pandemic
Overwhelming Amounts of Kindness
If you've read the reason I created this site, you already know it's because I truly believe there is still more good in our world than bad.
Positive stories don't get much recognition so we don't realize just how many people and organizations ARE making a difference. When times are tough, time and time again, people will always step up.
The Coronavirus Pandemic is a perfect example of this. I started researching stories to share a few on the site, but I was so overwhelmed by the number of stories I found, I realized that demonstrated the love among us, even more than the stories themselves.
Below are links to just a few of the many, many stories I found. Also, be sure to watch the Couch Choir Close to You Video. It's amazing!

Couch Choir Sharing the Love
I saw this video online and knew it would be great for the site. So many people are finding ways to reach out to their loved ones to share their love. Watching this puts a smile on your face - or if you're like me, it brings happy tears to eyes.
Take Advantage of the Down Time
My grandmother used to say "There's never a stale wind that doesn't blow some good" meaning good things always come out of bad situations. It's hard to find the good in the Coronavirus pandemic when our, or our loved ones, health or even lives are at risk. We are stuck inside with not much to do except watch a tv that drowns us with bad news. But there are good things that will come out of this. Take advantage of the slower pace. Embrace the extra time you have with your family. Our lives get so crazy, we don't get enough of that. Get the things done you've been putting off. Watch your favorite movies. Read some great books. If you're feeling down, find a way to help out. Nothing can make you feel better than sharing your love by helping others.
