To Do Lists

By The Chronicles Of Motherhood on July 31, 2017 / 4,652 views

You know the days where you have a To Do List as long as your arm? A pile of laundry that could warrant its own zip code? A kitchen that looks like a tornado went through it? Yeah, today was one of those days. She came up to me so sweetly and said, "Mommy, how 'bout you paint my nails, and then I paint yours?!" "How about Mom just paints yours...

Free From Fear And Full Of Love

By Joseph J. Mazzella on July 26, 2017 / 5,288 views

As I write this we have been disconnected from the electric grid for 4 ½ weeks now. On a routine inspection, the meter boxes that ran our home and the homes of seven of our neighbors were found to be a safety hazard and had to be taken down. It has been a long wait for the replacement parts to come in so the work can be done. My daughter lived in one of the other houses and has had to move back in with...

When I was in elementary school my paternal grandfather passed away of a heart attack in the waiting room of an ER. Fast forward a few (maybe a few plus) years to 2000 when I was a senior in high school. My family received the call that my maternal grandfather had a heart attack and was being rushed to the ER. We did what we thought you do when someone has a heart attack; we packed our funeral clothes and...

A Powerful Thought

By Rick on July 21, 2017 / 3,114 views

There are two kinds of power, power over others and power over yourself. We automatically assume that having power means having power over others. Those who crave this sort of power have little personal power and most likely a large ego master whose whims they must satisfy. They do not realize that no one can ever have power over another. Many dictators have lead short lives believing this. The best you can do...

You Are Precious

Lots of people are dissatisfied with themselves in many ways. Even though they have a good career, a good marriage, and a good income, they still feel as if something is missing from their lives. What makes them feel negative about themselves? One of the reasons is that they find it hard to love themselves. If we cannot accept who we are and be ourselves, our feelings about ourselves won't...

How Not To Settle For Average

By Javier Sarmiento on July 19, 2017 / 3,069 views

Everyone is valuable in their own way and has their own perks to them. Then, you have society which has their own structure to them and people follow them on a daily basis. How you need to live, what you need to wear, how and what to eat, etc. You want to be independent and carefree, but the world is a different animal and they are ruthless in putting their fist down to anybody who goes against them. We as...

Cherish Today

It was 25 years ago. Every seat in the church was filled. But it wasn’t for a happy occasion. The coffin sat in the aisle by the front pews. Inside of it was my Mother. After a heroic 4 year battle Cancer had finally taken her body but not her spirit. She had only spent 55 years on this Earth but everyday she had made it a brighter place for those of us around her. I was only 25 years old that day of the...

How To Live Your Best Life

By Javier Sarmiento on July 19, 2017 / 2,742 views

We all have dreams we want to accomplish. Something you work hard for everyday so you can get closer to it. In the way though, you are going to face obstacles along the way whether you like it or not. Criticism is going to come to you swift and fast. For example, my lifelong dream is to be a NBA player and I know it will come with a lot of hard work and perseverance on my part. People doubt me now and...

How A Free Watch Changed My Life

By Jakeron on July 17, 2017 / 6,602 views

Three months ago I was a slob by the very definition. I acted like a slob, dressed like a slob, and felt like a slob. I was unmotivated and by all accounts it looked like I didn’t have much a future. I was the kind of guy that would work at Walmart all his life and retire with-out doing anything. Well 3 months ago to the day, I was on my computer and saw an ad for a free watch. I had nothing...

Circle Of Life

By Ndivhuwo Madzivhandila on July 15, 2017 / 3,616 views

Have you ever stayed silent for a moment and observed life? What I saw was a world revolving itself, literally recycling over and over again. Human shares their life experiences of which was there before. We go through hardships, pain in different color of the paint but still was something that has been existing even before us. Yet we still cry, panic, fear where...

Moments Of Peace

By Joseph J. Mazzella on July 14, 2017 / 5,124 views

The cable went out this afternoon. I could see through my bedroom window the white trucks parked next to the pole and the cable guys working on the line. I didn’t mind too much, though. With all the channels I had on my television I rarely found something I wanted to watch. I put an old DVD on for my sons, retired to my bedroom, and put on some old records for myself. I lay down on my bed while the music...

To My 12 Remaining Embryos

The day we learned there were 14 of you we instantly knew our story of hope wasn’t just for us. You have been frozen now for almost 3 years. Sometimes my infertility feels like a distant memory and other times the pain and anguish of an empty womb floods my heart like it was just yesterday. My body went through a lot just in hopes that God would give me one of you. So when the Doctor called to tell us...

I'm Just So Happy Things Are Going Right For Me

By CxThrowaway73 on July 12, 2017 / 2,330 views

I had a rough time growing up. Was bullied, parents divorced, didn't have any friends and turned to drugs; I lost control of my life and lost contact with loved ones. I was depressed for a long time and didn't have any hope for the future; I tried to kill myself but I threw up the pills and survived. After the attempt, I sort of gained a whole new perspective on life, simply revolving around...

Give Life Meaning

By Joseph J. Mazzella on July 10, 2017 / 3,990 views

"What is the meaning of life?" This is a question that we all ask ourselves at one point or another of our existence here. It is a question that I have asked myself many times over the years. The best answer that I ever came across was written by the great psychologist, Viktor Frankl who had survived the Nazi Concentration camps in World War II. Frankl wrote that "The meaning of life is to give...

My Friends Are Robust!

By Kainaat Niaz on July 10, 2017 / 2,393 views

Bondage or relationship means a lot in one’s life. Sometimes it’s hard to evaluate or comprehend the intensity of any sort of affiliation. Probably when we let ourselves governed or administrated by the one we consider as our precious person. But you know why we do this? Because we start considering people more reliable than our own selves. We start putting them and their opinions above ourselves...
