The answer isn't easy, but it's simple, Kate Chambers writes in the Christian Science Monitor. "I like living in a place where hope is a thriving currency." The kindness and creativity of friends is another reason Chambers returned to Zimbabwe after a South African vacation. "I love the fact you can still walk along the side of the road here and call out a greeting to everyone you see," she writes. And finally, "I was returning because this is where we've sunk our roots and made a home." Read These Next Gavin Newsom has filed a massive lawsuit against Fox News.
