A New Friend

By Kay Heitsch on May 27, 2018 / 3,705 views

Yesterday I was on the treadmill at Planet Fitness when a young guy got on next to me. He looked like a lot of guys there with many tattoos. I smiled and it wasn't very long before we started to talk. I questioned him about his tattoos and he laughed when I said I bet I'm the only one here without one. I was curious how painful they were to get. He grinned and said it depended on where they...

Fear

By Sonia Kaur on May 23, 2018 / 4,801 views

What is fear? Fear is an illusion. It's a self-made thought of our mind. Fear should be overcome by time either it will paralyze our thoughts. Fear is good as well but not our best friend. Everyone is afraid inside, no one who is not afraid. There are different types of fear i.e fear of God, fear of failure, fear of taking risk, fear of dog, fear of height, fear of drowning etc. Now the question...

One Proud Moment

By Kay Heitsch on May 23, 2018 / 4,297 views

With all the talk about bullying going around, I'd like to share a proud moment on the subject. One day our son, Todd, came home from high school and shared with me about a boy who was being bullied at school. This kid was not a friend but that didn't seem to matter to Todd. He didn't like it that this person was being bullied. As we stood out in the kitchen Todd told me that...

Sea Of Information

By Joseph J. Mazzella on May 17, 2018 / 4,406 views

When I was a boy I was the remote. Not only did I get up to change the television channel, I also walked outside to turn the antenna to pick up the other network. My i-tunes were a stack of vinyl records under our plastic record player. My Google was a pile of books in the corner of the living room. My e-mail was a sheet of paper, a pen, and an envelop. My video games were played in my mind while I romped...

The Tomorrow Man Theory

By Chuck Hogan on May 17, 2018 / 8,786 views

"The Tomorrow Man theory. It’s pretty basic. Today, right here, you are who you are. Tomorrow, you will be who you will be. Each and every night, we lie down to die, and each morning we arise, reborn. Now, those who are in good spirits, with strong mental health, they look out for their Tomorrow Man. They eat right today, they drink right today, they go to sleep early today–all so that...

You Will Be Always Loved

By Sonia Kaur on May 15, 2018 / 4,514 views

If you want to be loved then you have to kill your expectations because expectations are that one thing which prevent us to holding on to a relationship. Expect from your own self that what you can do and what you can give to your family, friends and to society. Without giving, you will get nothing. Make a habit of giving and sharing. Believe me, giving love is the best feeling in the world. You...

Beach Surprise

By Terri Rimmer on May 14, 2018 / 4,682 views

I always take a birthday trip to Florida to see my sister and we usually do fun, special, usually adventurous things. But this year was different because while I was there I got bronchitis so we just did low-key stuff - which was fine by me. I was just glad to spend time with my sister. But, I noticed during dinner a couple of days before I was to head back home she seemed down in the...

My Story - Make A Difference

By Pastor Woody on May 14, 2018 / 4,586 views

I would like to share a story with you. This is a simple story of how your faith and your belief can make a difference in someone else's life without you even knowing it. My story begins sadly as I lost someone I loved dearly to what I now call "The Beast." What I am referring to is suicide. The woman I loved was overcome with past emotions and events that, eventually, wound up taking...

A Lesson From A Stranger

I was having fun with my 6 year old daughter when she was invited for a kiddie party hosted by my colleague, a nurse, to celebrate the 2nd birthday of her daughter. My 6 year old little girl enjoyed the games and the prizes she got. For more fun, she wanted to go to a mall since it was too early to go home. When we were there, we went to toy and gift shops and took pictures like the way she enjoyed...

Message From The Universe

By Dhara on May 14, 2018 / 3,366 views

Studying for my examination for the PhD was very stressful. I endured many meltdowns and kept on doubting my abilities. It was the day before the exam and I was stressed as ever with very little hope that I was going to pass. However, the two days before the exam, I found ladybugs inside my apartment. I have never seen ladybugs inside my apartment until the days leading up to exam. I felt that the Universe...

Mother's Day Surprise

By Kay Heitsch on May 11, 2018 / 3,785 views

It was the day before Mother's Day 2013. I was sitting in my usual spot spending alone time with the Lord. I looked up and noticed the little Mother's Day statue Todd had given me many years before. I had it on a shelf along with other memories of days gone by. It was hard to believe it had been 25 years ago that Todd had died in a car accident. As I sat in my chair lost in my memories I...

Pay It Forward In The Drive Thru Ripples Through Line

By TrickyRipper on May 11, 2018 / 3,738 views

I'm a manager at a Taco Bell in a pretty apathetic city. People trying to scam, steal, shoot up in the bathroom, pan handlers, the whole 9 yards. And today in the Drive thru a guy comes through and orders about $10 worth of food and after his order is made my cashier comes up to me and says that this guy wants to pay for the person behind him. I tell her it's okay and just make sure he knows how much...

Got Busted For Violating The 'no Pets' Clause In My Lease. Now My Sweet Old Landlord Brings Treats For Him Every Day

By A Friend on May 08, 2018 / 3,867 views

This is at my rented studio/workspace. I figured that if I kept the dog quiet, I'd be able to bring him to work with me. That secret lasted about a day. When I dropped by the landlord's place to give her a "let's have a good relationship" gift, the first thing she said was "Did I hear a dog barking yesterday?" I told her that, yeah, I had a dog but that he wasn't...

A Growing Heart

By Joseph J. Mazzella on May 07, 2018 / 5,126 views

I was selfish as a teenager. This I freely admit. I usually spent my time thinking about myself and taking care of my own needs. I let my older brother do most of the chores around the house until he left for college. I let my Mom and Dad worry about our bills and problems while I read books, played, and lost myself in my own imagination. This didn’t change even when I went to college either. I studied...
