The latest issue of 'Spotlight on Kindness' weekly newsletter is themed: Spotlight On Kindness: Against All Odds.

Editor's Note: Have you ever noticed that some people walk around like they're carrying the secret to life in their little pockets? Nothing really seems to get in their way. Even if it does, it's just another obstacle that they climb over and joyfully move along to the next thing. It's not that they don't suffer the same fate as the rest of us, just that no curveball in life keeps them down for too long. This week's stories celebrate the strength of their spirits, conviction, their love of living, and loving those around them. --Guri
