Friday, April 18: Link Up, Lift All
Hey, Lanturn light-bearers! This week—flu, fire, layoffs—showed what’s at stake: our health, safety, work. We pitched shots, alarms, skills. Today, let’s glow with connection—linking up to lift everyone. A shot protects your neighbor; a lead saves a friend. Alone, we’re flickers; together, we’re a blaze.
Got your flu shot? Tell a pal—text “Hit CVS, you in?” (CVS.com). Alarms tested? Chat up your landlord—share NFPA’s checklist. Upskilling? Post a Coursera win on X—“Nailed Python basics!”—or ping a laid-off buddy with a LinkedIn lead. Harvard (harvard.edu) says connection slashes loneliness 30%—it’s joy shared, worry split. X’s alive with folks linking—one Chicago nurse rallied her block for shots. That’s us—ripples to waves.
The glow: pick one action—flu, fire, job—and share it. Call someone about your shot, drop a pantry tip at FeedingAmerica.org, or tweet a skill milestone. Hit lanturnweekly.com/glow with a story or pic—your alarm beep, your course badge. Connection’s not soft; it’s steel. Made a link? Tell us—we’re brighter together. Monday’s next—rest up, you’re glowing strong!
