My nephew, Owen
Holidays are filled with awesome things: food, presents, family. For me, family is the best part. Our family has a new addition. My nephew, Owen is less than a year old. He is the definition of love, babbling and smiling and waiving to all. Enjoy your holiday season. Whether it's with people who share your genetic material, or [...]
Sofia Aderer
Thanks to Melia Dicker for suggesting this post. Just like a good love story, I'm a sucker for a good "rise above" story--you know, where someone comes out of an unpleasant situation and uses it to make something better. Sofia Aderer did just that. At 12 years old she's working to help the Audubon Society clean up birds and other animals [...]

Jill Ginsberg
To help herself get over some deep-seated issues around money, Jill Ginsberg gave away $100 a day during the month of October. To complete strangers. And she made herself give money to at least one person she felt didn't deserve it. Wow. Giving away money every day moved her so much she decided to give away $100 once a week through the end [...]
Dean Kamen
Dean Kamen is an inventor. He brought us the super-fun vehicle, the Segway. He also brought us the most advanced prosthetic arm we've ever seen. That's pretty awesome, but the most awesome part is the reason he developed the arm: to give freedom and humanity to soldiers who have lost limbs. Have a look at the video. The man is [...]
