Oh wow! I found you by searching "Billie Eilish" 'cuz I just wrote a short story about her -- promoting it. BUT I've been searching for the universal "you" for weeks now. Your content is the closest thing to what I've been curating for the last 5 years.

I mostly read Good News Network, but I'd love to poach some of your favorite feeds, maybe even partner with you in some capacity to spread hope. My pitch:

Doom's overdone, so I share hope and hard laughs. I just finished a 5-year project curating all the good news in the world (and Far Side cartoons). It's all tech, medical and energy breakthroughs that I believe will save us. In these dark times, I hope it shines a light. Much love!

That's me. This piece is also the foundation for a new newsletter I just started called "Headlines of Hope." I'd love to connect!

I am so glad you accidentally found me! And your story on Billie Eilish was so moving. Seriously loved it.

We all need more hopeful headlines—and your mission deeply resonates with me. I love how you are adding some humour to the mix as well.

I am planning to write more of my own profiles and good news stories as well as curating them — and I would be overjoyed if you linked to those. And we should definitely find ways to collaborate.

Thank you for bringing me a big smile today! Your note makes my day 😊
