Quote of the Week

"I think a hero is really any person intent on making this a better place for all people." - Maya Angelou

You Are The Kind Of (S)Hero We Need

This week we'd like to share with you an inspirational video of the song "Hero" by the Makepeace Brothers which shines the light on the qualities of (s)heroes, both those who are famous and those lesser known, who live their lives inspiring those around them. The affirming anthem gives us hope that we can each be that kind of (s)hero.

Here are some of the lines of the song:

"To give peace a chance with all of your worth
To breathe for giving breath back to the earth.
Beyond the dream, to throw your own love
Before hard bullets silence the last dove.

This is the noble
This is the wise
This is the human
This is the kind
of hero we need."

P.S. The image of Mother Teresa posted above was drawn by a child from the Kindful Kids community who was inspired to offer it after seeing the video :-)
