Tonight, on my flight from Indianapolis to Baltimore I sat next to an unaccompanied minor who was traveling to Baltimore to see her Mother.

Words are the heart of human beings. It has tremendous of power. We have never realized that what we speak leaves an impact.

This was written on Twitter by musician Jay Mumford, aka J-Zone. "Played a festival over the weekend. Listened to the drummer from the band who went on before us from the side of the stage and I got a bit discouraged. He was a rock drummer so he had Bonham power and a lot of super fast around the kit rolls, two things I struggle with. Only saw his hands and feet & they were fast...

When We Grow

By Joseph J. Mazzella on August 12, 2019 / 3,441 views

An unusually hot and wet spring this year was followed by an extremely hot and wet summer. Sunny skies were constantly giving way to heavy showers only to be replaced with more sun and heat. This combination has made for a few changes from our regular Summer here in the mountains of my home. The limbs on the trees are growing twice as fast as usual and their leaves are huge. The Queen Anne’s Lace,...

Time Is Passing Whether You're Using It Or Not

By A Friend on August 07, 2019 / 4,136 views

Imagine today in 2029 - 10 years from now. You will still be you, except you will have changed. Think back the 2009 version of you and I bet you will struggle to recognise that person. Regardless of whether you are consciously changing - you are changing whether you want to or not. We overestimate what we can achieve in a week and underestimate what we can achieve in a year. Habits are...

Two Souls Passing

"Promise me two things" Not today, Dad, I thought. Please not today. But my plea went unheeded. When my father had something to say, he said it. "Promise me I'll die in my own bed." Really, Dad, can't this wait? "Promise me I won't die alone." There it was. Almost three years ago Dad asked me to make those...

By A Friend on August 02, 2019 / 2,912 views

He has never sung anything ever. I've never heard him even fake sing. No teasing, nothing. He struggles with self consciousness and struggles to ignore what others might think of him. But he's got the Proclaimers on blast while he's singing along, and I realized I'm just so happy to get to come home to little moments like these. I'm all warm and fuzzy. I don't think I'll...

Last February I turned 51. And to be honest, it didn't make me jump with joy. Of course, I still recognised the face in the mirror. But it definitely didn't reflect my inner me anymore. While I retreated to the desolate land of quiet mourning, a tsunami of hallelujah stories swept through the web about age-enthusiasts who are carving out a whole new career, accomplishing...

Growing up I didn't realize how poor we were. My parents were amazing at providing for us. We loved watching baseball games and I wanted to go to a game so bad. We never could afford it. To make up for it, while we were at school, my mom made up tickets to that night's game and money for us to "spend". When we got home she had set up chairs in front of the TV and numbered them....
