Rescued From Sudden Death

By Monica on February 28, 2019 / 3,959 views

This happened to me some years ago while visiting on an Greece island. My friend and I was out walking, and then we should cross a street. When I nearly had crossed it, I suddenly felt that someone pushed me very hard over to the pavement, and immediately a bus passed me in an huge speed! If I had not been pushed up to the pavement the second before, I had been killed. I looked around me...

You seem to perfectly apply the Law consciously. You understand that circumstances don't matter and that they have no power. Here is a story that may inspire you even more :D Once upon a time there was a king who worried day and night about what tomorrow might bring. He feared he would lose his power, his wife might not love him, his subjects would become disloyal. He could not sleep for all his...

I got assigned to photograph a luncheon at a hospital. No one else wanted to do it, because they said it would be so boring. This is the image of the doctor hugging his patient whose life he saved after she just did a speech thanking him. His grip details all the love for human...

Just landed in NYC. The people across the aisle didn't know each other. She was flying for the first time and was terrified. He just talked her through it and held her hand. Just people being...

Angel Hands?

By Rick on February 25, 2019 / 3,599 views

Here's a story I collected from a total stranger when I asked if she believed in angels... "Well, I know I have one. I was 11 when my family arrived at Fern lake overlook on Trail Ridge road in Rocky mountain national park. It was so beautiful to look miles across the Rockies and thousands of feet below into the valley. My parents were busy getting lunch out of the trunk so I climbed over the wooden...

Advice From An Old Person

By A Friend on February 25, 2019 / 3,924 views

My advice, do whatever you can while you're young, it really does get harder as you get older, and there comes a point in your life when you stop looking forward at the possibilities of what you could be, and start looking forward at the inevitability of what will be. Nobody lives forever. Reach far, take chances, risk a lot, but always have a backup plan. You might think that nothing can harm...

My mom went to the grocery store today and there was a woman asking the for 39¢ chicken. The butcher explained to Mom that she has dementia and comes in all the time with really old sales papers so he sells her meat for that price so he don't confuse...

Work

By Joseph J. Mazzella on February 22, 2019 / 3,889 views

I grew up the "baby" of my family. I was the youngest of three sons. My brothers were five and seven years older than me and handled most of the chores that my Mom and Dad needed done around the house. I spent most of my time then riding my bike, shooting basketball, walking in the woods, or reading books by our stove in the Winter. To say I was a bit spoiled would be an understatement. I spent my...

Learning A Lesson

By A Friend on February 18, 2019 / 5,159 views

I was at a Barnes and Nobles with my husband and kids. My oldest is 13 and he decided to sit in the magazine section to read some books. I noticed some homeless guys in that area but they seemed pretty harmless and didn't seem to be bothering anyone. When we were checking out to buy some books I saw one of them coming up to us and thought to myself 'here goes, he is going to ask for some...

Inspirational

I hadn't fallen asleep (so I thought) on this particular night when suddenly, I was thrust-ed into a very bright light moving at great neck speed. It seemed I was in some kind of miniature Space Capsule. I noticed there was no instrument panel, crew, or pilot aboard. I wondered: “Who or what is powering this spacecraft?” It was quite surreal! I thought: “What is this? where am I? and...

Dogs

By Joseph J. Mazzella on February 14, 2019 / 5,114 views

My family doesn't own a camera anymore. My daughter takes all of our pictures with her smart phone. Knowing that her Dad is still "old school" she will from time to time run off prints of these pictures and let my son put them in an old fashioned photo album. They made me one just the other day. As I was looking through it, however, I noticed something. Far outnumbering the pictures of me, my...

Blessed

By Beena Joshi on February 12, 2019 / 4,075 views

Have you ever found yourself cribbing about having a busy life? Feeling tired of waiting for a lift for so long because you don't want to take stairs? Felt so lazy that you didn't want to go to work/school/college? Or even feeling so exhausted that you wished for a break where you could just lie down on the bed all day and not worry about work/studies? If someone had asked me these questions...

Winning The Neighbor Lottery During Stormageddon

By Lady RJ on February 12, 2019 / 2,702 views

It was supposed to be the storm of the decade and it lived up to it's namesake. Every house on our street was knee deep in snow and we live on a hill so no one could go anywhere. As I'm having my coffee, thinking about what I'm going to do indoors with the kiddos, and looking out the window, I see a man on my porch. My neighbor is shoveling my the steps and the walkway clear...

True Passions

By Jonah Hill on February 12, 2019 / 3,450 views

If you're doing something because you're imagining what people will think when they see you doing it, you're not doing it for the right reason. It's the things you do, even though you might get made fun of by those you fear seeing you do it, that define your true passions. Pursue the things that scare you even though you might "embarrass" yourself. The...

Last Words From My Dad

By A Friend on February 12, 2019 / 3,788 views

My Dad died in November. He was an ER doc, a Stephen Minister, a street art/graffiti artist, a college professor, a cancer researcher, a bee keeper, and a cookbook author. He was a former US Marine, a book club leader, a community organizer, and even though he could afford a new car, drove an old 1992 5-speed Honda with 200k+ miles on it, just because he liked it. He was the father of five,...

911 Dispatcher Receives Some Help Instead Of Giving It

By A Friend on February 11, 2019 / 3,459 views

I am a 911 dispatcher. I take emergency calls, offer emergency medical instruction until EMS arrives, and dispatch units to calls as well. I've been doing it for about four years, and I've heard some of the worst things you can imagine. It takes a toll on you, mentally and emotionally. Usually, I'm pretty good at dealing with the aftermath but today I'm on a mandatory 16 hour shift...

Tried Sign Language With A Deaf Guest And Now I'm Crying

By A Friend on February 11, 2019 / 3,645 views

I work as the reception manager at my hotel. A booking came in a few weeks ago with a note attached that the guest will be travelling with their deaf father. Just so that we would be aware when dealing with them when they arrived as they were here for a number of days and his daughter wanted to make his trip to Ireland as smooth as possible. Upon seeing this note and noting I would be the...
