Unprecedented crises challenge humanity on all fronts, threatening to tear us apart, however, if past crises have taught us anything, it is that we are stronger in unity. Only then, can we learn from one another, grow, and shine even brighter. Together We Shine is a collection of real stories that demonstrates what happens when everyday people tear down walls and build deep, meaningful relationships with their neighbors. You'll meet a Buffalo firefighter, a retired priest, a former inmate, a refugee, a custodian, a deli owner and so many more amazing people who made a lasting, significant difference in their communities and in the lives of others. You'll also meet leaders, such as Dr. Claire Crane who, through grit and determination, brought a divided community together to spur profound change." "Little good deeds by individuals make a big difference in our community. Little good deeds done by a unified group can change the world." These stories prove that every one of us has the power to make the world a better place--if we're willing to open our hearts and connect with others. As we build those connections, new worlds are revealed to us, enlivening, enlightening, and strengthening communities."Human beings are capable of incredible things when they come together! People want to help and contribute to their community. It feels good! When we encourage partnerships, we are giving people opportunities." Tom Costin, former Mayor and Postmaster General of Lynn, MA
