People being wonderful today in the DC metro area.

[woo me with science]

This happened today.

Tara is eight years old. She has a brain tumor and has been undergoing a medical nightmare. Her family planned a princess party for her with her friends, to help encourage her through everything she is facing.

Well, these wonderful people got on the internet and found other wonderful people. A horse-drawn carriage was hired.

Hundreds of people Tara had never met came out to line the streets for her. Many dressed as knights and princesses, and they waved and cheered to her and held up signs for Princess Tara as she traveled with her family and friends in her carriage along the route.

This is a beautiful reminder of who we really are. Every single one of us is so much more valuable than this profit-driven society we live in would have us believe. We are powerful together, and we can be powerful for the right things, for compassion and love and caring for one another...for what really matters.
