Good things....something as simple as paper beads. Paper beads? Yes, beautiful paper beads made by women in Uganda. BeadforLife helps women rise out of poverty to make wages that help them support their family. Please read more about these amazing women (and a few men) at http://www.beadforlife.org.
Good people...cancer survivors. I had the pleasure of attending Survivor's Outdoor Experience Inaugural retreat a few weeks ago and wrote about the event along with beads. Please read more about Survivor's Outdoor Experience at http://www.survivorsoutdooradventure.org/.
Good times...the Survivor's Outdoor Experience weekend. Who rocks more than cancer survivors? Forget the reality T.V. shows - these guys are the real "survivors." Read about the beads and Survivor's Outdoor Experience at http://www.beadforlife.org/blog/ .
Such an inspiring post! I'm not sure what touched me more - the BeadsforLife organization, the reaction to the bracelets at the Survivor's Outdoor Experience, or the whole concept of your blog. These are tough times, so it's really important to take time to remember the good things around us. Thanks for the lift!
