My daily habit a year ago was to read the news with my morning coffee. I felt the entire world was falling apart and getting worse day by day. Then I read some research on the effects of bad news, and made a conscious choice to read uplifting stories...

When I read the stories on GNN I feel empowered, included, and encouraged to get involved.  - Kerrie S., OK
