I know that it's the holidays, and as such there's going to be an uptick of "feel good" stories that the media will be putting out there for people to read.

However, this one's one that I truly felt good about. It's evidence of a corporation that not only understands how to advertise, but does it in a way that helps more than just their own bottom line.

An Ashland, OH cookie factory reopened after its prior owners closed it down.

(YADAME/RW) = Yet Another Diary about Marriage Equality/Rick Warren)

Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross introduced the world to the Five Stages of Grief in her 1969 book, On Death and Dying. This model has been used to model how people handle shock, grief, and tragedy. Most people who take a psychology course or two in college run across this model at some point or another, as do those who have experienced the loss of a loved one.

In the past 6-7 weeks, the gay community (which I'm part of) has been hit by blow after blow of events that have caused great grief to the majority of its members. For many, it started on November 4th, when California, Arizona, and Florida passed laws that banned marriage equality for gay and lesbian residents, and Arkansas passed a law banning unmarried and gay couples from adopting.
