Maybe it’s cliche for Northern California, but in addition to getting closer to safely practicing the handstands that have alluded me, a recent yoga teacher training introduced me to individuals doing notable work in media, medicine, and tattoo design (but of course). One of them was former broadcast reporter Cara Jones, who is launching a collective of journalists and photographers working to share stories about organizations and people who are making a difference. In addition to a kickoff party at 111 Minna on Sunday night, the not-for-profit Storytellers for Good project is offering to create free videos for five Bay Area non-profits to promote their work. One of the first features A Good Idea San Francisco, an endeavor to give away everything from sleeping bags, blankets and random acts of kindness downtown. In the words of one of the featured volunteers: “We get bombarded with negative news–everything is negative, negative–so when we have an opportunity to do something positive, I think it just makes everybody feel better.”
