Good plans need good people to enact them 20 Dec, 2020 03:01 PM 4 minutes to read "The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members." – Coretta Scott King, activist I have been so encouraged by feedback from my column last week in which I wrote about the compassionate and generous contributions of the "Herspace" women who donated handbags packed with self-care items for us to give away. Folk have called in to donate other items to add to the collection having been inspired by what kindness can do. Perhaps even more importantly, women have rung up and called in to pick up handbags to gift on, or have asked for one for themselves. In doing so they have shared their own stories about how kindness has boosted them through a bumpy patch in the past, or how much this generosity is helping them to get through today.
