I had a falling out with my best girlfriends in December. By the time 2025 came around, I was always miserable. No one at work liked to talk to me, my other coworker is a bit moody and mad we do the same job and I make more. I was one of four 20-somethings in a corporate enviornment, which can get pretty lonely. I was struggling to keep up with my job because I was also new-er and thrown into it...

Bread For The Soul

By Joseph J. Mazzella on September 02, 2025 / 11,341 views

I was a little boy sitting in church on a hard, wooden pew, trying to sit still and not squirm while listening to the sermon. Most of it went over my young mind each week, but there always came a point when we recited the Lord’s prayer. And there was a part of it that I understood very clearly: “Give us this day our daily bread.” That part spoke to me because each Sunday afternoon my beloved...

By A Friend on August 29, 2025 / 10,397 views

I was sitting in the Costco parking lot, doom-scrolling, when I heard a loud and clear whisper. ‘Hey’. I looked around but no one was near the car and it was definitely a voice. I didn't know what it was about, but I'm not a believer in coincidences. I decided to take this moment as an opportunity to pause and be in the moment. I put my phone down. I looked around. I...

Here is my new story. I hope it reminds you of just how much you can make a difference in this world. An elderly friend wrote me recently. She was discouraged about her failing health.

At the end of the letter she asked me: “What can I do to make this world...

About 2 weeks ago I (31 year old female) fell and heard a snap in my foot. I was screaming crying with both pain and fear.
