The Giver, Harry Potter series, magazines and anything else that requires little reading and more looking at pictures...
Anyone who stands up for what they believe in and tries to better themselves and help this country move forward even though we are in a downward spiral. The single mother. The pro-choice activist. And all women who fight for their rights.
All members of the NYFD and NYPD. It was astonishing to see Ground Zero first-hand and to imagine the task they faced on 9/11. They are all truly heroes.
Anyone who works to help protect the environment and the precious life in it. Animals are one of our greatest gifts and they should be treasured, not destroyed.
