Everyday we are bombarded by media images. Some are good, yet most are depressing and negative. Hey, that is the stuff that sells. It is hard to not get dragged into the belief that the world is a bad place, that most people are evil and that there is nothing that the everyday person can do, except protect themselves and their families from the scary world that we live in.

I came across a magazine promo to help balance out this deluge of dispair, which was showcasing www.happynews.com. Here is their motto:

There is also a quote of the day and the daily running horoscope that always makes me laugh.

Today when I checked in to see if they had listed any new articles regarding fertility, I was pleased to see that they were running my own personal favorite quote as their quote of the day. "We must become the change we want to see." by Gandhi
