Right now I’m laying in bed next to the love of my life with happy tears in my eyes because I’m about to graduate college from my dream school with a degree in my dream job.

And I was so scared of being alone, being gay felt like the hardest...

A Hug From Dad

By Joseph J. Mazzella on October 30, 2020 / 5,923 views

It was a cold, dark, November morning several years ago. My alarm clock had just gone off but I was having trouble getting out of bed.

Short, stout, and strong my Dad had been my hero growing up. He had...

By Timone Holliman on October 29, 2020 / 5,542 views

Today at work this elderly lady asked me if I could have someone help walk her to her car. I told her I would help her. She instantly grabbed hold of my arm.

This is the Himalayan Sheepdog who guided us for 7 miles on a trek (Kheerganga trek in Himachal Pradesh in India). It’s almost as if he knew that we would get lost after it got dark. He sat with us when we rested and ranged ahead and made sure that both of us kept pace with...

The Train Ticket

By A Friend on October 26, 2020 / 4,334 views

Yesterday as I was leaving the grocery store a man approached me and asked if I could help him pay for a train ticket to a city about 100 miles away. As I've always believed Jesus' admonition, "Whatsoever you do to the least of my family, you do to me," I never turn my back on those in need. Jokingly I asked him if OUR town wasn't nice enough, that he had to...

I Am Finally Learning To Love Myself

By A Friend on October 22, 2020 / 3,459 views

It is an amazing feeling, I have never felt something like this. I’ve been realizing so much, just little things.. but they add up. Like, how I went from sleeping 12 hours a day to 10. My water intake has increased from none to about 2 cups daily. I am actually washing my hair and not just standing in the shower. How I don’t rush to grab makeup when I do head out. My appetite is coming back, geez...

The Fall leaves are really starting to change now. It looks like the very trees and mountains have become a canvas painted by God’s loving Hand. The bright, beautiful reds are shining in the sunlight. The out of this world oranges are appearing too. And the yellows are glittering like gold. Some trees have only a few leaves changed. Others are half-way there. But a few are already completely transformed....

31 Months Ago I Was Obese At My Wits End

By A Friend on October 15, 2020 / 3,089 views

Over 31 months ago I stumbled upon a video called along the lines of "The Why a 100 miles" by Billy Yang. I remember clicking on it and being moved so much to the point where I told myself that I wanted to run a 100 miles too as it was such a moving video. Dozens of times I tried to lose weight and it got to the point where I truly believed that I would spend the remaining days as obese, I...
