Hello All, I’m currently going through a rare 82 day transit I spiritually awakened on the 15 Aug 2019 and that was the best day of my life, the first thing I saw when my third eye unexpectedly opened was a pink lotus flower. I’m 21yrs old and have discovered I am a Claircognizance, Clairsentience, clairvoyant, medium and also I have saw myself twice in 2 different...

When I first came to Altoona, I was scared but there were some kids with kindness. I was playing a game with a friend, and I saw a lonely boy, so with some of the kindness I had, I invited them to play. Today that one boy is one of my best friends and I'm glad I invited him to...

By A Friend on October 12, 2019 / 4,416 views

Despite the cliché title, I truly witnessed a love that brought me to tears when I got home from work last night. I work as a waiter at a hotel. Last night this elderly(Late 60's/Early 70's) white, seemingly wealthy couple came into the restaurant and my co-worker seated them. We usually do our own tables, but because we were so busy last night we helped each other out. At one point...

It all started as I landed at the Toronto airport a day late - my airport of origination was surrounded by flooded streets and all flights were cancelled the day before. At 6pm, I was tired from a long day of traveling from the southern tip of Texas. To my surprise, and horror, the rental car service I found on the internet - note to self - go brand-name next time, was closed! I had no...

I Pick Up A Piece Of Trash A Day

By A Friend on October 10, 2019 / 3,172 views

By A Friend on October 10, 2019 / 3,172 views

I live in a city downtown and frequently notice the trash on the side of the road, as I'm sure most of us do in their own city. So every time I take my dog for a walk or go outside, I pick up at least one piece of trash. Although this seems small in the moment and feels like it won't make a difference, it truly helps over time as well as makes me feel good about myself for helping...

In 2016, at the age of 25, I was newly weened off of adderall, jobless, just graduated with a degree I hated to please my mother, living with my parents after a breakup that shook my up my entire existence, and in thousands of dollars of debt. It wasn't looking good. Later that year I decided to get a job part-time since no full-time offers were coming in. I opted for one in the city...

Gaining Trust

If any cat has taught me one thing, it's patience. Patience for others and not freaking out over the small things. There was a little tabby cat (nicknamed Hash by the town) that always lurked around the park where I go daily. Every day I fed it little snacks that I carried with me, and usually it would stay away from me. Yesterday, it let me pet it for the first time in 6 months. I...

Know Your Worth. I Promise You Are Worthy

By Erin on October 09, 2019 / 3,483 views

It's so important to understand that you are worthy. I get it. It might be really hard. You might have messed up a lot in your life. People might struggle to see you are worthy. But that doesn't mean you're not. I have struggled with self worth my entire life. It stems from a lot of childhood stuff. Deep traumas that made me internalize a belief I was convinced was true, “I'm...

So in 2016 I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder called Antiphospholipid Syndrome. Basically what it means is that my blood has too much clotting factor, and because it took so long for the doctors to diagnose it, there is damage to my arteries and also my kidneys and liver (it was diagnosed because I ended up with blood clots in my right kidney and then weeks later in my liver). One night not...

The Person Behind The Wheel

I woke up in a bad mood this morning. I'd had a fitful night's sleep and my bad back was sorer and tighter than ever. My shoulder was starting to feel just as sore too. I tried to stretch them out to no avail and stumbled into the bathroom. I looked in the mirror and saw the pain on my face. I certainly wasn't looking any younger either. My hair was now mostly gray and mostly gone on top. I was...

The past cannot define you. Nothing can unless you let it. Every day we have a choice: we can stay in our comfort zone and choose to do the things that haven’t really worked out because it’s easier, or we can choose growth. We can choose to believe in ourselves more. We can choose to learn and restart with the new lessons we bring with us. We can choose to be better than we were...

You're Not Ugly. You Just Look Like You

By A Friend on October 01, 2019 / 3,948 views

I photograph a lot of people. Almost everyone believes they are ugly. Your grandmother. Your child. Your best friend. Most models. Most actors. Maybe even you. “Oh, don’t take my photo, I’ll break your camera!” laughs the 80-year-old grandfather. When he dies a few months later, his grandkids will treasure this reminder of his “ugly mug.” “Please...

Today I was asked if I am any good with phones by an elderly man as he was trying to open a picture message that his granddaughter had sent. I took a look at his phone which was a really old Nokia. As he didn’t have a smart phone I told him that he wouldn’t be able to view it. He was gutted and went on to tell me that it was a photo of his granddaughter and her new...

Those 4 words never sounded so good til the June morning in my mom's hospital room. It began when my mother was admitted to the hospital for a really bad infection in her bladder. It was November 21 when they called us to her hospital room to tell us my mom had a mass tumor it was big in her stomach and it was malignant. They went over a couple of options but all I heard was MDAnderson &...
