Some of you may feel disappointed, ecstatic, or indifferent about yesterday's election results. So today's loop is centered around something everyone can feel joyful about.

Donut City in Seal Beach, California has been operated by husband-and-wife owners, John and Stella Chhan, for the last 28 years. On September 22nd Stella suffered an aneurysm. John continued to run the business, closing at 2pm, and then heading to visit his wife at the nursing home.

Her absence was noticed and once John disclosed why she was not there, customers offered to start a GoFundMe page to raise money for John and Stella but John declined. However, the customers found a clever way to assist.

Customers in the neighborhood came together and started arriving early, some buying several dozen donuts. Each day the goal has been to have Donut City sellout as early as possible, allowing John to close early and spend the rest of the day with his wife.


Unfortunately we are often bombarded with sad stories and it's easy to forget how many amazing people exist on this beautiful planet. Obviously it is important to be aware of what is transpiring in the world, no matter how bad it may be, but don't forget all the good that still exists and that you always have the option to be the good.

If you haven’t voted yet, or even thought about voting, here are 3 steps to help.

Step one: Make sure you’re registered.

Step two: Do your research.

You’ve still got time to do your research,  polls  are open until 8 p.m. today. There are plenty of voter guides out there that you can find with a quick search. Here's the Sacramento Bee’s voter guide to get you started.

Step three: Vote.

All registered voters should have received ballots via mail. Those mail-in ballots need to be postmarked on or before Election Day, or dropped off at a Sacramento County drop box or vote center before 8 p.m.

If you prefer to cast your vote the in person you can find voting centers in your area with a search.
