The Eternal Optimist blog showcases good news

Hello fellow optimists! I started my first blog last December at the advice of my former editor. Since the mainstream media focuses too intently on gloom-and-doom stories, I felt compelled to highlight all the good that still exists in this world (which I try to personalize when I can).

As you'll read, following my heart has led me on some interesting journeys (including a recent trip to the hurricane-ravaged parts of New Orleans). And there are others out there that are proving that the negative tide can definitely be turned. I hope the blog gives you hope during those gloomy days, while inspiring you to find the hero inside yourself. Enjoy!
