This means the world to me. Sean is a helper to his core and as a former responder, this is a home run for me coming from him.

You need (and the world needs) Every Little Thing by @janicelandry.bsky.social. Following her diagnosis of Lyme disease, award-winning journalist Landry celebrates small acts of kindness. Her book shows how connections, 'little things,' and helpers abound and improve our mental health. Recommend!
