One day a woman was walking along the beach upon which hundreds of starfish had been washed up and now lay stranded on the sand.

As she continued walking, she noticed a young girl in the distance, picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean.

Susan notes: this beautiful piece by Cory Eldridge found me in a roundabout way. Someone had posted a link to another story by Eldridge on a blog that I follow.

Gaye Adegbalola, one of the three amazing women that comprise Saffire - The Uppity Blues Women, was militantly anti-white, until her then-young son and his best friend made her re-think her stance.

She tells the story during this short and heartfelt interview...

Thanks to the Daily Om.
