The Eff Stop

In my novel, To You, From Me, Ginny (the main character) can't bring herself to say the "F" word.
She says, "Eff!" instead. The Eff Stop page is dedicated to Ginny.

In a world where we so often want to scream "Eff!" this page intends to bring you some relief. It showcases inspirational good news stories that will bring a smile to your face and help restore your faith in humankind.

I can't help but smile when I look at elephants, particularly when they are together with their families. I hope this link brings a smile to your face and peace to your heart. The music is calming, soothing and meditative, and the reaction of the elephant falls in line. This video is one of a series featured on YouTube.

Being homeless is something I can't imagine. It is a situation toward which I have great empathy. The following stories are about creative and generous ways in which homeless people are being helped. I hope these stories give you inspiration and hope for the homeless situation in your area.

This story isn't about homelessness but about living off the land. This young couple found themselves unemployed after the pandemic situation, and they decided to live differently. The link below is their story.

Lexi Lately is a woman who used social media to create good for others.

She went to TikTok and asked followers to donate small sums of money ($0.25). 

The amount of money grew exponentially, and she used it to "super" tip waiters and waitresses in her area.

Lexi's Story

​TikTok Venmo #1


​
I worked as a server for years, and there were plenty of times I could have used a $1000 tip.

It turned out that some were in dire need of a financial boost.

Thanks, Lexi for making this happen, and thanks to her followers for their generosity.

Thoughtfulness. Compassion. Care.
