Then after the storm, when the tears have run dry and my eyes choose to open, I will look for your rainbow of hope.” ~ Richelle E. Goodrich

Brighten a gloomy day.
Comfort a grieving spirit.
Offer hope to the forlorn.
Send a message of caring.
Lift the downtrodden soul.
Patch up invisible wounds.

Fulfil the human need for recognition.
Who knew changing the world would prove so simple."
