With evocative imagery and soulful sitar accompaniment, the poem composition urges us to remember our place in the larger tapestry of life, emphasizing the potential for unity in diversity and celebrating individual uniqueness as part of a larger existential fabric. The piece reminds us we are "made to connect love to the ache," highlighting the beauty in merging the spiritual with the earthly. This uplifting message encourages us to bravely answer our unique callings -- whether as a nurturer, a storyteller, a vegetable grower, or beyond. It's a stirring invitation to rise and bring love to the forefront of our actions.</description> <media:content url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/small/10385-685f32afd22c6.jpg" medium="image" /> <media:thumbnail url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/350/10385-685f32afd22c6.jpg" /> <dc:creator>Gandhi</dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 01 Jul 2025 00:00:00 -0700</pubDate> </item> <item> <title> I Thought My Wages Would Be Docked But the Customer I’d Overpaid Returned</title> <link>https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10370</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10370</guid> <description>On Christmas Eve, 1977, as a teller at a bank, Penny Muir mistakenly gave a customer an extra $20. At the end of the day, she realized the shortage, and that it would come out of her pay. It was a lot of money for her at the time that she intended to spend on the holidays. Just as she was about to leave for the day, somebody knocked on the window. Cautiously, she opened the door. A stranger handed her $20 explaining she had given it to him in error. His action continues to impact her life in many ways even after fifty years. &ldquo;It wasn&rsquo;t just the money, it was the fact that he had gone to such effort to make sure that I wasn&rsquo;t out of pocket, when it was entirely my fault anyway.&rdquo;</description> <media:content url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/small/10370-68530c7b26299.jpg" medium="image" /> <media:thumbnail url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/350/10370-68530c7b26299.jpg" /> <dc:creator>Scott Adams</dc:creator> <pubDate>Sat, 28 Jun 2025 00:00:00 -0700</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>The Global Dress of Unity</title> <link>https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10387</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10387</guid> <description>Imagine a dress that transcends borders and tells the stories of hundreds around the globe. The Red Dress project is a stunning testament to creativity and connection, made of 84 pieces of silk embroidered by 380 artisans from 51 countries. Conceived by Kirstie Macleod in 2009, the dress is more than art; it&rsquo;s a tapestry of identity, woven by women from all walks of life. Each stitch and pattern echoes personal tales, as well as windows into and wisdom from shared struggles and triumphs. As this vibrant creation tours worldwide, it serves as a reminder of the power of art in bridging divides and celebrating our shared humanity.</description> <media:content url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/small/10387-685b87cde6965.jpg" medium="image" /> <media:thumbnail url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/350/10387-685b87cde6965.jpg" /> <dc:creator>William Sloan Coffin</dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 27 Jun 2025 00:00:00 -0700</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Strangers, Nurses, And A Perfectly Timed Miracle</title> <link>https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10374</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10374</guid> <description>Meryl Hoffman collapsed of cardiac arrest in front of a medical center. Nearby strangers and off-duty nurses quickly sprang into action. The nurses performed life-saving CPR, and rushed her to a hospital where she underwent surgery and rehabilitation. &ldquo;According to the American Heart Association, for every minute that passes without CPR after cardiac arrest, the chance of survival decreases by about 7&ndash;10%.&rdquo; Through a coincidence, Meryl was able to reunite with the two nurses who gave her the CPR. They helped fill her in on the details of the crisis of which she had no memory. The three of them have kept in touch. "Without them, I was told, there was no doubt I would have died or been brain dead," Hoffman said. "They absolutely saved my life."</description> <media:content url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/small/10374-6855e74cbc8e8.jpg" medium="image" /> <media:thumbnail url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/350/10374-6855e74cbc8e8.jpg" /> <dc:creator>Unknown</dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 26 Jun 2025 00:00:00 -0700</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Trust Libraries Revolutionize Delhi</title> <link>https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10386</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10386</guid> <description>In a city bustling with over 20 million people, a youth-led revolution is quietly reshaping access to books with an open-air library movement known as the Book in Hand Campaign (BHC). Imagine libraries without fees, deposits, or paperwork&mdash;just a shared love for reading. Founded in August 2023 by the CELL Foundation, these creative hubs spring to life in Delhi-NCR's parks and campuses, bridging the gap between dusty bookshelves and eager readers. The initiative thrives on the idea that 'stories are meant to be shared,' and surprisingly, only 3-4% of books ever go missing. With 2,500 books shared among 5,000 or more readers, BHC is not just changing lives but transforming communities. As co-founders Pratik and Anurag put it, "You don&rsquo;t need to build a library with walls. Sometimes, all you need is a bench, a few books, and trust in the people you&rsquo;re serving."</description> <media:content url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/small/10386-6854f4c542c44.jpg" medium="image" /> <media:thumbnail url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/350/10386-6854f4c542c44.jpg" /> <dc:creator>Pratik and Anurag</dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 25 Jun 2025 00:00:00 -0700</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>How to Connect With Strangers</title> <link>https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10368</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10368</guid> <description>In our hyper-connected world, genuine human connections are at risk of disappearing amidst the sea of earbuds and glowing screens. Linda R. Tropp, a professor of social psychology at University of Massachsetts, Amherst, highlights a crisis of social connection where more Americans feel isolated than ever before, and points at possible anecdotes: by engaging in acts of 'psychological generosity,' like making eye contact or smiling at strangers, we can rebuild our community bonds. "Small gestures... can foster feelings of connection by signaling that our existence matters," describes Tropp. These simple actions don't just brighten someone else's day; they can also enhance our own sense of belonging and community.</description> <media:content url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/small/10368-6843c6f421ae6.jpg" medium="image" /> <media:thumbnail url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/350/10368-6843c6f421ae6.jpg" /> <dc:creator>Martha Beck</dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 24 Jun 2025 00:00:00 -0700</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>The Quiet Revolution of Nature Prescriptions</title> <link>https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10379</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10379</guid> <description>&ldquo;Social prescribing&rdquo; enables health professionals to prescribe &ldquo;non-clinical community activities &mdash; including the arts, movement, nature, and service (volunteering.)&rdquo; At least nine countries have some form, including Canada where the PaRx program &ldquo;helps reduce barriers to nature by giving patients and providers&nbsp;special offers and partnerships with nature organizations.&rdquo;&nbsp;&ldquo;Backed by hundreds of studies over several decades, research suggests that connecting to nature is one of the best things you can do to improve your health.&rdquo; Study results show potential reductions in stress hormone levels, inflammation, heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Participants are more likely to visit natural areas when prescribed by a healthcare professional, and incentives such as free passes and transportation help. Nature prescribing is also good for the planet, as it stewards the care and creation of green spaces.</description> <media:content url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/small/10379-68508181500cb.jpg" medium="image" /> <media:thumbnail url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/350/10379-68508181500cb.jpg" /> <dc:creator>Eleonora Duse</dc:creator> <pubDate>Sat, 21 Jun 2025 00:00:00 -0700</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Childhood Leukemia: How a Deadly Cancer Became Treatable</title> <link>https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10376</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10376</guid> <description>The tale of childhood leukemia is one of triumph born from the crucible of despair. Once a near-certain death sentence, it now stands as a testament to a miracle wrought through unyielding research and collaboration. From fewer than 10% survival rates in the 1960s to nearly 85% today in affluent nations, this transformation wasn't born from a singular epiphany but a symphony of cellular understanding, harnessed by human ingenuity. Yet, amid the joy of life's renewal lurk the shadows of inequity-where progress flourishes in some corners of the world, it barely whispers in others. As treatments evolve and lives are saved, the moral imperative remains: to extend this beacon of hope to every child, regardless of geography. The story is a bittersweet reflection on humanity's potential to conquer adversity through unity and compassion, yet it also underscores the persistent chasm of global disparity.</description> <media:content url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/small/10376-684b306d331b8.jpg" medium="image" /> <media:thumbnail url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/350/10376-684b306d331b8.jpg" /> <dc:creator>Ben Carson</dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 20 Jun 2025 00:00:00 -0700</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>The Older Adults Conquering Loneliness Through Storytelling</title> <link>https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10372</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10372</guid> <description>In the sanctuary of shared stories, Life Story Club fosters connection among older adults fighting the epidemic of loneliness. Here, voices like Wanda's, who found solace in a porcelain doll during chemotherapy, reveal the healing power of communal storytelling. The club, rooted in empathy and nostalgia, becomes both refuge and remedy as participants reflect on their lives, bridging the isolation that so often shadows old age. Bernd, once skeptical, now treasures the bonds formed in these circles. He reflects, "Hearing your stories -- feeling connected -- is so important to me." This effort, a social prescription against loneliness, champions the wisdom of past generations and advocates for a society where dignity and connection defy time's passage.</description> <media:content url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/small/10372-684b3bf4de2fc.jpg" medium="image" /> <media:thumbnail url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/350/10372-684b3bf4de2fc.jpg" /> <dc:creator>Tahir Shah</dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 19 Jun 2025 00:00:00 -0700</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>88-Year-Old Woman Finally Earns College Degree After 65-Year Wait</title> <link>https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10375</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10375</guid> <description>Joan Alexander's story echoes with the weight of time and persistence, a testament to dreams delayed but not abandoned. In the 1950s, societal norms and rigid policies stole from her the chance to complete her degree at the University of Maine when pregnancy barred her from fulfilling a mandatory teaching requirement. Though she poured her life into her family and community, the absence of a degree lingered as an unfinished chapter in Alexander's life. Through her daughter Tracy's inquiry and the recognition of her past teaching contributions, the university awarded Joan her long-awaited degree. "I didn&rsquo;t realize that it would mean so much to me," Alexander remarked. "But I now feel that a hole in my heart has been healed." Her journey underscores the timeless lesson that, with perseverance and heart, a decades-long gap is no deal breaker in the pursuit of a yet-to-be realized dream.</description> <media:content url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/small/10375-684b36f79f84f.jpg" medium="image" /> <media:thumbnail url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/350/10375-684b36f79f84f.jpg" /> <dc:creator>Joan Alexander</dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 18 Jun 2025 00:00:00 -0700</pubDate> </item></channel></rss>If you would like to create a banner that links to this page (i.e. this validation result), do the following:
