I am often asked about my sincere belief in others & how that gives me hope. Today @booker.senate.gov gave me hope. He was heroic. He is a helper. As I say in my book Find The Helpers, what matters more than the moment is what we do next. Corey Booker just showed the way for what to do next. - ThreadSky
