Good News

“Humans were never designed to act as receiver sets for the bad news from around the entire planet.”

~ Christiane Northrup

Like other highly sensitive people I know, I’ve never been able to listen to or watch regular news broadcasts because they generally focus on what’s wrong, or awful, or tragic at the moment. Rather than waiting around to feel my body tense up and go on yellow alert, I walk away, relying on my husband to tell me what I need to know, if I need to know it.

I’ve often wished I could tune in to a purely good-news source of information about what’s happening in the world, to be refreshed and encouraged, to feel my body relax more, knowing there are great, hopeful things happening around the world. Thankfully, I’m not the only person who’s wanted this. The following links lead to sites focused on good news:

If you know of other sources of general news slanted toward the positive, particularly ones you’ve tried and like, it’d be great if you’d let us all know via a comment. Thank you.

    Hi Grace, I really enjoyed going through your website and I am thinking of adding a link from my Links Page on my http://www.HighlySensitivePeople.com website, if that’s OK with you? Have you visited my website? I’d love to get your comments, your thoughts and feelings. Thank you in advance for considering putting a link under your “Resources” page to my website, you have my permission to do that and do I have your permission to add yours to my website? Thank you for your consideration. Last month, my Internet provider stats said we over 300,000 “hits” on the website form all over the world.

    I also was going to mention that I looked at the larger version of you out in that square intensely writing and deep in thought, and noticed the two other chairs were placed leaned up against the table and seemed to be saying: “Thank you for understanding, but I’m not interested having any company right now.” Am I correct in my interpretation, because it seems very much in keeping with the HSP temperament.

    My best wishes to you Grace!

    And, keep up your wonderful work!

    My pleasure, Ingrid.

    The first one in the list – Only Positive News – has such a beautiful look as a website. I feel better just gazing at it, even before I check out the news.
