Many families simply lack the resources to go out and get their kids new clothes because they grow so quickly during those formative years. For teens like Michael Todd, a freshman at MLK College Preparatory High School in Memphis, Tennessee, going to school each day leaves him open to terrible bullying from insensitive kids who simply don’t understand poverty.

5-Minute Film Festival: Videos on Kindness, Empathy, and Connection

It's always a good time to practice gratitude for the relationships that sustain us all -- for the people who have taught us in a school setting and beyond, and for the young ones we are able to nurture and inspire. I was also thinking about how many of us are living out the paradox of being ever more plugged in, and ever more aware of what's happening in our community via social media platforms, while at the same time, face-to-face interactions are less frequent than ever before.

We are in constant touch, but barely touching. Watching these videos made me remember the importance of re-connecting, treating people with kindness and respect, and being generous and compassionate to both loved ones and strangers.

Biker gang steps up to help daughter suffering from child abuse  We've all been on the road and seen a pack of leather-clad bikers come roaring down the highway.

Biker gang steps up to help daughter suffering from child abuse 

Large and loud, it's hard not to be at least a little intimidated by a menacing-looking group of burly, bearded men on choppers riding past you. If you're lucky, you might even spot a particularly "menacing" group that is earning a name for itself in ways most would never expect from bikers. The group BACA, or Bikers Against Child Abuse, has no intention of striking fear into the hearts of children or mothers. In fact, the only people they seek to intimidate are those who would do harm to a child. The biker group is an organization dedicated to protecting children against past or would-be abusers.

The Best Part of Life - Sistering

And I said: Sister each other, because Sistering is the best part of life. Then I described what Sistering is, what it looks like and feels like. And my brilliant, generous friends at SALT asked me to repeat what I said: so that every single one of you could hear it. Because you are the most Sistering sisters in all the land. And they made this, which made me laugh and cry and shout: YES! Please take a moment to watch. This is what I want for 2016. **Boys can (and should) sister each other, too! Lance Stewart.
