RIP Sandy Hook (Newtown, CT)

In honor of victims of Sandy Hook Elementary School's tragedy and those left behind, the nation began spontaneously performing "26 Acts of Kindness". Any you've done & would like to share? You can pin them here. If you can't pin but want to, drop me an email @ reb@rebeccasinclair.com with the subject line "26 ACTS". I'll fix things for you when I'm back on after the holidays. (Make sure the subject line is in all CAPITAL LETTERS — I get bunches of email daily and don't want to miss yours!) ~ℛ

12/22-Part of an open letter: "...[we want] for you to hug each other & yr children, deeply & often. To pause, take a breath, allow the warmth of the season into your homes & hearts, & know it will be all right. We'll all be all right. We have felt loved in the past, but that previous measure was a thimble as to this boundless sea. You are at once our ocean, our vessel, & the wind that fills our sails... Thank you. We love you." — David Cole Wheeler (father of Ben, age 6, shooting victim)
