We've taken a few weeks off from handing out Friday Props and I think most folks would agree it's understandable we would do so. The world has suddenly changed for all of us and can seem overwhelming and frightening with nothing but bad news, which is why this week we are back with Friday Props for Beautiful News - the good things we might not see amid all the fallout of COVID-19.

Beautiful News is brought to us by Information Is Beautiful which is a resource that is itself props-worthy for transforming data into visual stories. The Beautiful News project collects some of the many, many positive things happening in our world and offers them up as rays of hope. It is an effort that offers some balance and perspective when maybe it seems our days are darkest.

If you need a pick-me-up we highly recommend it. Stay safe out there and remember that not all things are bad.
