The GoodThings e-zine (the GoodLetter) is one of the best that I have had the good fortune to find. You are insightful, thoughtful, and inspiring without imposing values and thoughts on anyone. I think your site is wonderful, and I hope it is around for a long time.
Thank you so much for making my day! Your Web site was such a gift to me. I found it totally by accident, and it really made me search for the beauty in the world. Thank you so much for creating a totally positive space you can go to, day or night.
My heart has been truly warmed by coming across your site today. The power
of positivity is something that cannot be underestimated. Many, many thanks for all your efforts!
Congratulations on your wonderful publication. I have basically stopped reading newspapers and watching TV news, as it mostly shows the darker side of humanity and does nothing except put me in a very negative space. Thank you, thank you for GoodThings! We need more of this.
In a day and age of computer games, genocides, loss of human communication and feeling, violence (juvenile, street or sport), and family breakdown, it is wonderful to see that someone still cares for the really important values in life. Thanks to you all.
As a stay-at-home mom of two toddlers, I'm always on the lookout for ways to connect with the outside world and other adults. Your
Web site will be a positive resource for me.
For a Hollywood facing a possible writers' strike and a public that by then may be awash in the dark side of reality, GoodThings[' "I Want My GoodTV" campaign] might have good timing.
Your site is delicious!
Probably the best thing about GoodThings is that it has a practical 'here's how to make a difference in the real world' tone. |
