POSITIVITY // Some good stuff...

So many things feel uncertain and frightening right now, but despite the bad news there have been little bits of awesomeness — people being truly kind and generous to each other. Here are some of my favorites from this week:
  • The meditation app Headspace is offering a free collection called Weathering the Storm; also Elizabeth Gilbert has recorded a free meditation called Facing Fear with Compassion on the Insight Timer app
  • Artists on Instagram are doing daily live events: children's book author Mac Barnett started a book club and reads one of his books every day at 12pm PST; and illustrator and graphic journalist Wendy McNaughton is doing daily drawing time at 10am PST M-F
  • Simone Gordon, a woman who acts as a megaphone drawing attention to the needs of others, broadcasts on her Instagram account who needs what, and how and where to donate
  • Stories of people who can give, giving: Basketball players donating to arena staff; Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds' food bank donation; Ayesha and Steph Curry are helping feeding children; Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos made a large gift to NYC; and Russell Wilson & Ciara donated a million meals in the Puget Sound area
  • Artist and teacher Bonnie Christine is providing free access to talks and classes on her website: Dreaming to Doing and From Focus to Flourish
  • Upworthy on Instagram consistently posts stories of positivity
  • Two international stories from earlier in the week: homebound Italians singing; and in Seville, Spain, a trainer providing a workout for people on lockdown in their apartments
  • Swans and fish in Venice canals 
  • A compassionate teen teen making hygiene kits for the homeless in LA
  • If you want a culture breaks, take virtual tour of historical homes or museums
  • Missing hanging with your pals? Get everyone together for a virtual happy hour or coffee date (and here’s an LA Times article with tech advice on how to make it happen).
