But to help you get inspired for the season of giving, we have three great stories for you. Teresa talks about a teen who is giving new life to Legos and actor/director Henry Winkler, who really is just a great guy. Colleen tells the amazing tale of one man's search for his brother on Mount Everest and how despite it not going as planned, still has an incredible ending. Have some tissues on hand for this one, but you will love it.#PeaceOnEarth

Yep, we are late with this episode. Such a busy time of year. But don't despair, there is a lot of inspiration to be found in this podcast. Colleen talks about the amazing life of actor and activist Christopher Reeve and how a Superman still did super things after being paralyzed from the neck down. Teresa talks about a young man who brought power to his African village and about a little known hero in World War II, who saved Jews despite being the little brother of the Number 2 ranked Nazi. These are some incredible stories. Have a listen.
