The (Good) Word: Weeks Of September 12th-24th
Earlier this month, I shared the very first installment of The (Good) Word with you - you can read more about why I started it here. In a nutshell? Just some good news that’s happening out in the world that makes me smile, plus maybe a reflection or two on a controversy that’s got people up in arms…a different, more positive, more empathetic perspective.We've got lots of good WANT words from these past couple weeks, from cancer-fighting license plates and body-image cereal campaigns to Menstrual Barbie and periods in space. Enjoy!

Vanessa Williams finally got her apology from Miss America - and there was kindness all around. via The Cut
Melissa McCarthy is basically single-handedly doing away with the whole plus-sized vs. "non" plus-sized clothing separation with her new line. Because we should all be able to wear whatever styles we want. Just one more reason to love this woman. via Fast Company
