Editor’s Pick: Goodies of 2011
As we head towards 2012 I couldn’t resist doing a ‘fly-by’ of this year’s amazing collection of positive news articles. Some stood out for me personally as incredibly heart-warming and touching. So here they are, my favorites (though there are so many articles I haven’t listed here that were also mega-amazing). Enjoy them and thanks for tuning into my ‘baby’ Happyzine.
