“GOOD IS POWERFUL BEYOND MEASURE reminds us that no matter how difficult our lives may be, there is always a bright light coming from within, if we allow it. There is a sweet voice heard in us that wants to guide us to the top of the hill to look out over the possibilities of any day.  All we have to do is Choose Goodness. The good that we choose can and will blossom over time.  Most of all remember that as we wrap ourselves in the light of GOOD we become the light and shine through and above all the darkness. I invite you to read the many reflections in this anthology of GOOD.” — Ben Vereen

I am forever grateful that the current brought us together. It’s because of that chance meeting that I get to share these words with you all. Thank you, Miss Mellie, for being an angel. For welcoming me with open wings into your circle of love, light and rainbows,” — Andrew Zaeh, International Photographer
