Hello there!
How’s your week been? Okay? Has it felt like a sea of ‘no’ and all you want is a yes?
Well it’s about to get a whole lot better — or so I like to think because it’s Feel Good Friday!
We’ve got geniuses, B.C. teachers, kidney donations , activism and of course Sesame Street.
So dive right in and enjoy!
