DailyGood: Read Good News
DailyGood is a free, daily email service that delivers a little bit of good news to thousands of people all over the world. It is a fully volunteer-run project of CharityFocus.
Watching the nightly news and reading the daily newspapers, it's hard to imagine that there is good in the world. But it's often right under our noses in the ordinary, small and simple things that have sustained life for ages. DailyGood, then, aims to promote that good, change the nature of our conversations and spread a few more smiles.
The project started many years when one college student started emailing a daily quote to a couple of his friends. Today, that list is called DailyGood but it now reaches more than 50,000 readers with a wide variety of uplifting stories. The growth of the project has been, and continues to be, organic and largely word of mouth.
Our philosophy is quite simple: be the change. The entire project is run by volunteers. All our content is distributed and syndicated for free. We don't sell advertising or promote any products. We don't ask for anything with the trust whatever is needed will come to us. And in the end, we are thankful that so many benefit from DailyGood because it gives us a meaningful opportunity to serve.
Thank you for your partnership in spreading the good.

Through meditation and by giving full attention to one thing at a time, we can learn to direct attention where we choose. --Eknath Easwaran
Meditation Boosts Focus: These days, it seems nearly impossible to pay attention to one thing for a long time. A new study indicates that meditation helps people focus because it enables them to discern small differences between the things they see. The research was inspired by work of Buddhist monks, who spend years training in meditation. "You wonder if the mental skills, the calmness, the peace that they express, if those things are a result of their very intensive training or if they were just very special people to begin with," says Katherine MacLean. Her co-advisor, Clifford Saron, who researched with monks decades ago, is now studying meditation by putting volunteers through intensive training and seeing how it changes their mental abilities.

Be The Change: Try meditating for a few minutes today. See if it makes a difference in your ability to focus.
