#IMAGEOFGOODNESS "Somebody Somewhere" (HBO) showcases that everyone has a story and is worthy of respect and love! Pic: Fred and Susan's wedding. Diversity is NOT an abstract; it is an acknowledgment of difference. One's worth and right to happiness are not bound by an arbitrary demographic.

#IMAGEOFGOODNESS "Tell Me More" hosted by @kellycorrigan on @pbs @kqed is simply outstanding. Each episode features a human being who excels at goodness and lifting up others. Last evening I enjoyed @annadeaveresmith Watch it and feel better about human beings.

#IMAGEOFGOODNESS Brian (husband) and I took the ferry from SF to Sausalito to enjoy a boat ride and the quaint and INCLUSIVE neighboring town, Sausalito! Note to 2026 LCC attendees: the ferry, a block from the Hyatt, is an excellent way to see the Bay and get incomparable views of the SF skyline.

#IMAGEOFGOODNESS In SF's SOMA neighborhood, this resale shop's sign lets all shoppers know they are welcome. Diversity, inclusivity, acceptance, and friendliness are good things. Period.

Here is an IMAGE OF GOODNESS from Boise, Idaho, the state capital. In May of this year, the City Council, in response to the legislature (their workplace shown in the near distance), voted 5 to 1 in support of a resolution to make the Pride Flag an official city flag.
