I Got A Free Plant Today And I'm So Happy

By A Friend on October 24, 2019 / 3,023 views

I got a little plant for free today and it made me so happy my cheeks hurt from smiling! I've been so overwhelmed lately that just this little thing has made my whole week :-) It's so cute I can't wait to take care of it. I just want to share this since it's making me so weirdly happy I just can't contain it. I hope anyone who reads this has a good day and finds something that makes them as...

I Paid For The Persons Order Behind Me

By A Friend on October 24, 2019 / 2,800 views

I paid for the persons order behind me in the drive-through line at Starbucks but asked the barista to tell them it’s okay not to keep it going and just let a good thing be. It was my first time paying for another order. I’m sure it’s fun for the baristas to ask people if they want to “keep it going” but in a way that defeats the purpose. When you’re...

Just Relax

By A Friend on October 21, 2019 / 3,498 views

Sometimes you got to take a step back from whatever you are doing and relax. Everything you want to do will get done sooner or later. Don't force anything. Don't fall prey to anxieties assuming you can get it all done right now. It’s okay to slow down. Remember, Rome wasn’t build in a...

By Kyra Kerr on October 17, 2019 / 2,432 views

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...

A Little Bit Of Kindness

By Kohen Brice on October 15, 2019 / 3,366 views

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...

I Witnessed True Love Last Night

By A Friend on October 12, 2019 / 4,690 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...

My McDonald's Angel

By Pamela on October 11, 2019 / 4,354 views

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...

Act Of Kindness At The Restaurant

By A Friend on October 11, 2019 / 5,040 views

My wife and I couldn’t get our newborn baby to stop crying at the restaurant, so we embarrassingly started to pack up to go home when the couple sitting next to us offered to hold him so we could enjoy a night out. Our baby slept on this kind strangers shoulder the entire...

I Pick Up A Piece Of Trash A Day

By A Friend on October 10, 2019 / 3,449 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...

You Never Know What Will Happen In Life. Keep Going.

By Erin on October 10, 2019 / 5,393 views

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

By Sadie on October 09, 2019 / 3,238 views

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 / 3,815 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...

A Girl I Barely Knew Literally Saved My Life

By A Friend on October 08, 2019 / 3,032 views

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...

My 4-Year-Old Almost Made Me Cry This Morning

By A Friend on October 08, 2019 / 3,416 views

I'm a 30 male with a partner of 8 years with two daughters (4 and 1, birthdays next March). We live on a EXTREMELY high cost/low income island. I work 2 jobs to help provide for my family. We have debt (as most do) and very stressed. Before I left to go to work this morning, just as I'm standing at the door I always say " Love you pickle, have a good day at school" and today she...

Landlord Wedding Gift

By A Friend on October 05, 2019 / 3,841 views

My landlord of 3 years is an absolute saint. He has several investment properties and I have known him for 3 years. We’ve been great tenants and he’s been a great landlord. This is likely the biggest wedding gift we’ll get!! I’m going to have to take him out for dinner and a...

The Person Behind The Wheel

By Joseph J. Mazzella on October 03, 2019 / 3,965 views

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...

Every Day We Have A Chance To Begin Again

By Erin on October 02, 2019 / 5,183 views

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...
