We saw this beautiful message on a children's play table at a subscriber's home this morning and wanted to share it: Be a rainbow in someone's cloud. 🌈

To be a rainbow in someone's cloud means to bring hope, joy, and comfort to a person who is going through a difficult or painful time. 💔

The famous quote comes from the acclaimed American poet and civil rights activist Dr. Maya Angelou. It uses weather metaphors to teach an important lesson about human connection and empathy. 💞

🌟 Core Metaphors 🌟

The Cloud: Represents hardship, sadness, suffering, struggle, or dark times in a person's life. 🌧

The Rainbow: Represents a bright spot, hope, encouragement, and the beauty that follows a storm. 🌈

🌟 How to Practice It 🌟

Offer a listening ear: Let someone share their fears and worries without judgment. 👂

Show simple kindness: A warm smile, a comforting word, or a small gesture can change a gloomy day. 😊

Help across differences: Angelou emphasized being a blessing to others even if they look, speak, or believe differently than you do. 🫂

Our Founder remembers he was driving to class at technical college at age 18 when the first plane hit and rhe radio station he was listening to interrupted to report it. He then watched the 2nd one hit live on TV in a student lounge on a big, boxy TV And the whole room gasped. It was at that moment everyone knew the plane hits weren't an accident and that our Republican was under terrorist attack, confirmed. Everyone then wondered how many more planes were going to hit before it stopped.

South Carolina's use of sewage sludge on farm fields is facing renewed scrutiny as a Yale scientist works to map the threat posed by PFAS, the "forever chemicals" that can linger in soil and water for years.

The issue points to a troubling pattern: waste-disposal practices that may cut costs for larger systems while leaving nearby families, farmers, and communities to live with the possible consequences.

PFAS are a large group of human-made chemicals used in a wide range of consumer and industrial products.
