Today is World Optimist Day — a small reminder that hope is a choice we make, even on the days it feels hardest.

Optimism isn’t pretending everything is perfect. It’s believing that kindness matters, that progress is possible, and that tomorrow can be shaped by how we show up today.

Here’s to choosing light, lifting each other up, and finding reasons to believe — again and again. 🌤️

Today is World Cancer Day — a reminder that cancer touches far more lives than we ever see on the surface.

We honor those who are fighting, those who have survived, and those we’ve lost but carry with us in every quiet moment and every act of love. We honor the caregivers, the families, the doctors, the nurses, and the friends who show up even when it’s hard.

If you’re in the middle of it right now: you are not weak, you are not alone, and your story matters.

Today is about awareness, compassion, research, and hope — and about choosing to stand with one another, always. 🎗️

Today is National Missing Persons Day 🕯️💛 — a moment to remember those whose whereabouts are unknown and to support the families still searching for answers.

In Kentucky alone, there are thousands of missing persons cases reported each year, with recent estimates showing the state averages over 4,000 missing person reports annually and roughly 15% of those remain unresolved over time. Many of these loved ones are eventually found, but too many families still await answers.

Some missing Kentuckians have become well-known cases that remind us why vigilance and community support matter — including long-unsolved disappearances like Crystal Rogers and Ann Gotlib.

Here’s how you can help:
🌟 Share verified information and alerts from trusted sources
📞 Report tips or sightings to local law enforcement or NamUs
🔍 Support organizations working to bring missing people home
🧠 Educate yourself and others on prevention and “what to do if someone goes missing”

No one should have to face uncertainty alone — awareness saves lives. 💙
