Janice Dean has always looked on the bright side of life. Yes, there is a lot of bad in the world. The news bombards us with stories of disaster and destruction every day. But there are good stories out there, too, waiting to be told. Make Your Own Sunshine is her happy, hope-filled antidote to the gloom and doom. Life can be tough-but it helps to know other people have come through hard times with a smile on their face. In Make Your Own Sunshine, Janice shares inspiring stories that will lift your spirit and touch your heart. Good people are all around us doing good deeds, from a 9/11 firefighter who bravely battles for his colleague's health to a good Samaritan who secretly pays for the coffees of everyone in line behind him, a teacher that cut her hair to make her student feel better, a dad who, despite battling cancer, never missed writing a napkin note for his daughter, a young man who makes bow ties for dogs waiting to be adopted, an Uber driver who brightened a new mom's day by helping her buy baby clothes… Janice has made it her mission to uncover and document these good stories to inspire us and gives us a much-needed boost of optimism. All we have to do is open our minds and our hearts, to look for the light on a cloudy day. Because as she reminds us, if we don't make our own sunshine-who will?
