Why Does It Take a Crisis to Connect?

The Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy demonstrated how people around the country, and the world, reached out to the families who were impacted. There was an outpouring of love and a desire to help. Broadcast journalists shared not only the facts but also personal comments about how the incident touched them.

Why can't this type of kindness and support be the norm, something we do more of each day, whether we are confronted with a tragedy or not.

Look around you, there are so many people who would benefit from a random act of kindness.

There is really no way to make sense of what happened last Friday, but one thing it demonstrates is how small the world really is, and how there is only one community, the community of mankind.

Today and everyday, reach out and touch someone with a good deed. Be a part of the change that is needed in the world.
