About Us

Good News and Positive Stories… Served Daily

Gimundo is a website and daily e-newsletter dedicated to the belief that everybody needs a little bit of good news to brighten up their lives each day. It’s our mission to bring you the most inspiring news, stories, and videos that we can find. We have no political agenda, and do our best to write about the good news that everyone can appreciate and relate to. If we can make you smile every morning, we’ve done our jobs.

My husband Jeff and I took ownership of the site only recently, through our two person web design, development, and editorial consulting agency, Hawkins Multimedia, LLC—but we’ve both been deeply involved with the site since it launched in 2007. I served as the site’s editor and senior writer for nearly two years, and Jeff contributed ongoing assistance with graphic design work. After Gimundo’s original founders moved on to new projects, our services were no longer needed, and we moved on to new jobs that we enjoy very much.

Even so, giving up Gimundo felt a bit like abandoning a child. After spending so much time working on this site, it was tough to see it sitting there stagnant. I kept receiving emails asking about Gimundo, and considering how tough things have gotten for most people lately, I knew that a place to read good news was sorely needed in this challenging new world.

We believe that everyone should have access to good news, and promise never to charge subscription fees to our readers.

So, in April 2009, Jeff and I decided to bring Gimundo back to life on our own. We are running the site in our spare time, paying for expenses out of pocket, and consider it a labor of love. (For our day jobs, I work with clients as a writer and editor, and Jeff is a website developer.) We believe that everyone should have access to good news, and promise never to charge subscription fees to our readers. As a result, we will need to accept advertising to offset our operating costs, but we’ll make every effort to ensure that the businesses and products featured are in line with Gimundo’s core values.

We have big plans for Gimundo, and want to ensure its long-term survival. Please help us out by signing up for the newsletter and passing it on to your friends. Your support matters more than anything—if you believe that good news and inspiring stories have value, please do your part to help us keep this going. With your help, we can build a better world.

Sincerely,

Kathryn and Jeff Hawkins
