Sometimes when the headlines are full of violence and the weather's rainy, it's easy to feel like things are falling apart. They're not.

Here's a reminder from Tiffany Shlain and the folks at the Moxie Institute that the world is full of big, beating hearts – united to, well, change the world:

This short film is part of the Let it Ripple series, which is a pretty cool project. Shlain and her team don't just "make" these videos, they "cloud source" them – in effect collaborating with people all over the world to people power each film. Learn how the process works here.

A big thanks to the great crew over at Upworthy for bringing Shlain and her team to our attention.

If you think we could all "give a little bit", particularly during a week when the headlines have been so gloomy, share this with everyone you know.
