“Be the reason someone believes in the goodness of people.” 🌻 – Karen Salmansohn

Sometimes it seems that it’s the negative things that get the most airtime. On the news, in conversations, and even in our own thoughts. So much so that we can even begin to build biases against people we’ve never met or places we’ve never been. This negativity bias is hardwired into our brains for survival, causing many of us to give more weight to negative experiences than positive ones. The beautiful thing is…that it is within our power to change it. ✨

One way to do this, is to give yourself the time and space to register and create positive interactions with others. It can be as simple as exchanging a smile with or holding the door for a stranger, simply being present for someone in your life who needs support, being kind to a mother on an airplane whose baby is crying, or volunteering for an hour at a local shelter. These positive interactions help rewire our brains to combat the negativity bias, allowing you to not only see the goodness in yourself, but also others. 💞💖

We all have SO much goodness within us. What can you do within your own life to combat the negativity bias and help yourself and others believe in the goodness of people?

At Giving Hearts, we provide support for yoga teachers who want to put goodness out into the world. If you’re a yoga teacher who wants to negate the negativity bias by spreading kindness, positivity, and light in support of a cause that matters to you, we’d love to work with you. 🫶🏼

Your unharmed newborn, up to 30 days old, can be handed to staff at a Safe Haven – a Police Station, Fire Station or Emergency Medical Facility.

In return, you can remain anonymous and will not be prosecuted for abandonment.

Your child will be placed with a loving adoptive family.

A huge shout out to our board members Tahj and Emily for attending the Schiller Park Car Show on August 27th. Great job on letting everyone know about the Safe Haven Law in Illinois!

Back to School and New Videos -

The discovery of two newborns at a daycare center on the campus of Northwestern Memorial Hospital has led Safe Haven law advocates to reiterate that parents can legally and safely surrender infants in Illinois.

08/28/2023

Did you know....Illinois has 210 hospital safe havens, 1,106 fire department safe havens, and 994 police station safe havens, and this is not counting the additional locations at college/University police stations or Illinois State Police district headquarters! That is over TWO THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED AND TEN Safe Haven sites. And imagine that each state has similar numbers so multiply by 50...over 115,000 safe haven locations throughout the US. WOW!

YOU can help make a difference.

The Safe Have Laws work if you let everyone you know about them. Please, spread the word.

We have a VERY special collab and event coming soon…🥁 the amazing Tsha Marie Jacobson will be joining us to support an organization that hits close to home for her, Save Abandoned Babies Foundation. Tsha is partnering with SABF to help them raise awareness about the “Baby Safe Haven” law, a law that offers a protected, legal alternative to unsafe infant abandonment, which has resulted in almost 900 infant deaths to date. This event will be LIVE from the electric Vibez Fit in River North on Wednesday, 8/9 and 8/16 at 7:15pm CT.

Tsha is an experienced teacher and former professional dancer. As a dancer she found her voice and as a yoga teacher, she found her purpose. After she and her brother were abandoned on the streets of Seoul, Korea at only 2 and 6 years old, Tsha knows firsthand what it feels like to be alone and without care. We couldn’t be more excited to welcome Tsha back to the GHY platform and to support her as she utilizes her gifts to bring awareness and funds to SABF, an organization that is truly saving infant lives.

SABF is dedicated to saving babies from being abandoned in dumpsters and other unsafe environments. Their grassroots effort began over 23 years ago when SABF drafted what became the “Abandoned Infant Protection Act” and lobbied for its passage. It was unanimously signed into Illinois Law just over 1 year later. Under this law, an unharmed newborn may be handed to staff at a hospital, emergency room, college, police station, or firehouse without question or fear of prosecution. 💫

We are honored to collaborate with Tsha , Save Abandoned Babies , and Vibez Fit to help further SABF’s important mission. Farmer's Fridge is generously donating delicious meals for the last day of this event (8/16). Both classes will be limited to 30 participants, the first 20 in the door get to experience the healing vibrations from Power Plates prior to class.

Students can register for Tsha’s all levels vinyasa class by emailing [email protected] to reserve their spot at Vibez or head to givingheartsyoga.org to register for virtual class. All donation proceeds go to SABF. 💝

This is so sad and senseless! Please let everyone you know about the Safe Haven Laws.

About an hour after a Chicago mother was taken to a hospital last week, staff found a black garbage bag in a cabinet with the dead twins inside.

Hello June-flowers are in Bloom! -

CHICAGO — It is a full circle moment three decades in the making. This story is called this one lost and found. A young mother, lost after delivering a tiny baby, found a way to give that child a bright future. And the baby found her purpose in life back at the very spot where she was left in 1992...

How far can $25 go? Bus shelter signs cost us $60 signs so $25 can almost buy one sign. Why not give us one sign? There is also a chance that we could win $750 during this hour from NASCAR & Speedway Motorsports and to qualify we just need ONE donation of at least $25! Will you be that one? Be sure to share this information on your page and help spread the word.

The is still going strong. Do you know that any money that you donate goes towards various ways of creating awareness of the Safe Haven Law? We have signs at bus shelters, offer a scholarship to high school seniors in Illinois and we have created a brand new curriculum and video for teachers to present to the students in health class. We are vigilant about getting the word out to everyone so that no baby is illegally abandoned. It is ok to drop your unharmed newborn off at a staffed fire department, police department, or hospital-no questions asked. Tell everyone you know about the law-you just might save a life!
