The #WATWB was created as a mission to negate the overwhelming negativity that has been present in our social media streams. For every negative news story in the world, there are plenty of positive, uplifting stories that show hope, compassion and the resiliency of everyday people who face insurmountable challenges. Our hope is to share heartwarming stories that lift the human spirit.
The last Friday of every month bloggers will share their stories led by six co-hosts, this month’s co-hosts are:
Sylvia McGrath,
Susan Scott,
Shilpa Garg,
Eric Lahti,
and Belinda Witzenhausen
The story below is very relevant to me at present, it shows one that you are never to old to begin again and follow your dreams.
At age 102, Julia Hawkins has a lot of passions in life, but none more thrilling than running. She broke a world record for the 100-meter dash by female competitors 100 years and older and she shows no signs of stopping.

An enduring spirit! Thanks for sharing, Ms. Sylvia and for being a #WATWB member.
Wow! That’s an achievement!
A for amazing! I Julia’s a shooting star for sure! Thanks Syliva, this is sooooo wonderful! Thanks for co-hosting this month 🙂
That is great! My record for the 100-meter dash is measured in hours. Days, sometimes.
Hi Sylvia – wonderful … she is quite amazing … as Eric says – mine would be not a dash! Brilliant lady – cheers Hilary
