Offering hope and inspiration to us all in these difficult times, as they make headlines for making their corners of the world a better place, this is The Good News Week.
You’ll notice this is the first one we’ve done in a few weeks but given I am still working from home – and feel so fortunate to do so – and it’s taken a while to adjust, I decided I need to be kind on myself and my energy levels. So if they’ve been sporadic I hope you understand.
If you enjoy the stories we’ve found this week, let us know – remember this is a place for you to share any good news you find too, be it local or national – and from wherever in the world you are!
If you find something positive in the news that you think we should feature on next week’s blog, then you can leave your comments below or send us a message on our Instagram using our DMs.
