Good News Tuesday

I know I’m a day late, but I ran into some PC problems last night and couldn’t post this…

Beginning this week, we will start posting a news story every Tuesday that passes on some Good News: stories that touch your heart, stir up a little feel good emotion and make you smile, and remind you that there are still good folks and good things that still happen in the world.

Thanks to Symphony @ Essential Presence for beginning this wonderful idea!

This week, meet D’Zhana Simmons who was kept alive for 118 days without a heart. Watch the video:

This is an outstanding idea for a weekly feature. I look forward to future installments. This will make a good counter to the many blogs that seem to relish in focusing on negativity.

I saw the story of D’Zhana Simmons in passing last week, but didn't get the full details until now. This story is nothing short of amazing.

Kim

Wow. Much thanks for doing this ..I will be checking weekly. The news this week was pretty depressing and I was looking for a Good News Minute (they seemed to have disappeared from the nightly news shows)

I'm late on seeing this. Good news, what a novel concept.

Thanks marv. First time I've caught the full story too.

cooper

love the look too.

Symphony

No MM, thank you for joining in. I need to pass it along. Please feel free to pass it along to bloggers you think would be interested.

And that story is amazing.

Sharon

With so many bad things going on around us, it is good to see the good things still happening out there.
And that story is amazing.

Urban - Yeah...I think I'll keep this one for a while...I kinda like it!

I was quite surprised at the recipient myself...all the more reason to feature the story!
