You have to love a person who has spent 43 years in a career and when asked ‘When are you retiring’ their response is, ‘When I don’t have anything else to learn’. Sheriff Karl Leonard of Chesterfield, Virginia, is that person.  For his entire career, he’s been a public servant; from a military career to the Chesterfield Police Department to the Pentagon and now the Sheriff of Chesterfield County, and despite all he’s experienced, he continues to understand the human condition and find ways to be progressive to help those under his watch.  His transparency in taking over the Sheriff’s office is refreshing, as he’s the first to admit that there was no Sheriff's instruction book. When his jail was inundated, daily, with locals, addicted to Heroin he trusted his instincts and felt that a higher power was guiding him.  This led to the creation of the HARP program, a peer mentor-run program that over the last eight years has successfully helped 3500 people, overcome not just Heroin but other drug or alcohol addictions. As Sheriff Leonard says, ‘There’s a lot of good people behind bars, and there are bad people too, that deserve to spend their lives there, but that’s a small percentage of incarcerated people, and when you learn about (the good people) and their life and the challenges they grew up in, since birth, these are good people with bad circumstances presented to them…’

“Do you want a ride home? I can drop you off no problem,” said Henry. “Oh yes, thank you,” replied Harry. Henry attended a week-long computer class at a job agency. It was there that he met someone named Harry. To his surprise, they both lived in the same neighbourhood, and Harry happened to be taking the bus on the same route as him that day. Let’s have a listen together!

Elizabeth Boisson Helping Parents Heal On ATP Media - KAren Swain

"Be the Light" by Dr. Lach is an uplifting and inspiring anthem about the balance between being needed and being needy, leadership and followership, and the power of kindness. This song explores the contrast between givers and takers, builders and users, and the importance of lifting others up while recognizing that we all need help at times.
With soaring melodies, heartfelt lyrics, and anthemic instrumentation, "Be the Light" encourages us to make the world a better place—not by taking, but by giving, guiding, and standing together. Whether you’re leading the way or reaching for a helping hand, this song is a reminder that strength lies in both giving and receiving.

Very gentle and fragile piece celebrating small pleasures. Flute and oboe melodies weave together with beautiful string and subtle horn passages, to create an enchanting, flowing, piece with emotional impact and a degree of nostalgia.

Good for family presentations requiring an enchanting and reflective feel.

Story 1 → Lumen and the Lost Feather (lesson: helping others can help you too) by J.R. Rudolph

Title: Lumen and the Lost Feather

Lumen was not like anyone else in the Grove Between Worlds.
 He had the legs of a deer, the heart of a boy, and soft, velvety antlers that shimmered gold in the morning light.

One sunny afternoon, Lumen was skipping along the Pebble Path when he saw a single bright blue feather lying on the ground.
“Oh!” he said. “Who dropped you?”
The feather didn’t answer, of course, but Lumen thought it looked lonely.
He picked it up and tucked it gently behind his ear. “Don’t worry. I’ll find where you belong.”
He asked the robins.

 “Not ours,” they chirped.
 He asked the bluejays.
 “Too soft for us,” they sang.
 He even asked the wise old owl.
 “This is a sky-dancer’s feather,” the owl hooted. “It belongs to the wind.”
The wind? Lumen tilted his head. How could a feather belong to the wind?

Then he heard a faint cry from the meadow: “Help! Help!”
There, tangled in tall grass, was a tiny bird with one wing bare.
“My feather!” the bird squeaked.

Lumen’s antlers glowed warm as he stepped forward. He knelt, untangled the bird, and placed the feather back on its wing.
The bird flapped once, twice, then soared into the sky with a joyful whoosh.

“Thank you, thank you!” it sang as it disappeared into the blue.
Lumen smiled. He hadn’t just found where the feather belonged—he had helped a friend fly again.

And from that day on, whenever Lumen found something small and lost, he remembered:
 Helping someone else find their way helps you feel a little more found, too.

Reflection Questions:
Have you ever found something and helped return it?

How do you feel when you help someone?
