Nicholas Winton, movie about him 🫢🏽

Please watch the new movie One Life! My husband and I brought a box of tissues with us to the cinema. In the art of travelling and selflessly helping others, let's go back to 1938 and salute unsung hero Nicholas Winton. He saved 669 people, mostly Jewish children, before World War 2 broke out. They estimate today in 2024 that approximately 6,000 people are alive because of him. All the love and feels to this humble, generous man who pulled off something monumental well before the time of social media and easy communications. He lived to 2015 at the amazing age of 106! His glow and magic overwhelms me in all the good ways. May we all strive to inspire and help like he did. πŸ₯ΉπŸ’—πŸ’ͺ🏼🌱⚙️πŸ•ŠπŸπŸ‚πŸƒπŸͺ¨πŸ‹

Here's a clip of the real life talk show in 1988 that revealed Nicky's efforts. 🫢🏽

5 year old saves father's life; very touching and funny

Here is a touching story about the impressive bond that a 5 year old girl has with her father. I highly recommend also watching the video within the article. The video is only 3 minutes and 40 seconds so it's pretty short. My husband and I cried, then laughed, then cried and laughed again. Amazing! πŸ˜…πŸŒ±πŸ’žπŸ‹

Family friends' house fire


Our dear friends who have known me and my family for fourty plus years -> three members of that family recently had a devastating house fire and lost everything. They are like family to me and have been there for us through thick and thin. I will do my best to help them during this trying time. If you have space in your heart to also help, please do so. It doesn't have to be monetary -> positive thoughts and prayers work too. Thank you and much love. πŸ’ž

Wear eyeglasses without shame πŸ’—πŸ€“πŸ‘“

"So in a gesture of solidarity, I've been wearing mine all week to make this point: Whatever people say or think about you is none of your business. Just be yourself, authentically and unapologetically, the rest will work itself out," Tanja Babich, news anchor. πŸ’—πŸ€“πŸ‘“

I wish someone told me the glasses thing when I was a kid. I had very low self esteem and I cared way too much about what people thought! Proud to say that today I don't give a rats ass! I wear my glasses proudly and I also go without makeup regularly and without shame πŸ€“πŸ‘“πŸ˜€πŸ’žπŸ’—πŸ‘πŸ‹

Thank you to my friend Lora for sharing this story with me. πŸ€—πŸ‘πŸ‹
