Sunday Inspiration: Look for the helpers

“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.'”~Fred Rogers

There are plenty of scary things in the news today, so I think it’s our job to find out who the helpers really are and align ourselves with them. Do you know who your helpers are? Are there helpers out there who need you

I hope to. My publisher has the final say, but right now we have tentatively scheduled a novella in a Christmas anthology. We'll see.
