Sun-Beams is a collection of links to stories, articles, photos, or videos I have come across that inspired, informed, or encouraged me, or just caused me to think, as well as my favorite photo posted on my other blog, Violet Film, from the past week.
Inspiration:

Heartache:

Thomas Edward Ampe | People You’ll See In Hell: Read at your own risk. I physically recoiled during some portions of the article.
Photo of the Week:
