QOTW: ~ Meg's random blessings

[Guest guest]

Now those are great stories! Thanks for sharing them.

i think when people make an effort to put out positive

energy in the world that the feeling and power of it

continues to grow. If we were all spending more time

looking for ways to help others and spread joy, then

maybe, just maybe it will grow so much we'll have world

peace.
