Sand And Potted Plants In A Dream... What Could That Mean?

By Sami on June 01, 2016 / 2,640 views

In 2005, right after my husband died suddenly, I had a dream. A terrible dream.. I dreamed I was doing a report for someone on a local church. Several people were given a church to do the report on and mine sits on a highway that has an access road directly in front of the church. The church is very large with 4 doors leading inside. In my dream though there were two large doors that opened up like...

Thanks Dad

I was six years old walking along the railroad tracks that ran next to my Nana's house where my family lived. I could see the old, green house about 300 yards away through the tears in my eyes. My hand was hurting and my feet were stumbling, but I kept crying and walking towards my home. On one of my walks through the woods I had come upon something metal sitting in the grass and leaves. I had reached down...

Anger

By C M Reddy on May 29, 2016 / 5,061 views

"Anger is our inner Enemy which makes us to fall down from Peaceful living" Though it is a natural human emotion, many of the times its exposition proved to be counterproductive. We have to taste the bitterness of its consequences in the form of repentance or retaliation by other on whom we exhibit our anger. I could not write the feel good stories of love, kindness, compassion...

My husband was deployed once again. My closest family was literally nearly 5,000 miles away. The isolation of being in a new area without any support consumed me and I finally agreed, much to my parents' delight, to come out for a prolonged visit. My biggest apprehension was making such a long trip. With a toddler. By myself. I prepared well, relying on prior experience. Crayons. Books. Games....

Keep Your Chin Up

By Melissa on May 27, 2016 / 1,972 views

Just like every one of us, I have made my share of bad decisions in my 50 years of living. What if for every mistake you made, there was something positive you could take away from it? Just like "flattery gets you everywhere”, so does positive thinking. On the other hand, negative thinking takes you to the road of hopelessness and despair. I don't know about you, but that is not where this gal...

Happiness

By HP on May 26, 2016 / 5,524 views

Be kind to yourself and to others. Be positive. The energy you send out to the universe is what you'll get back. Always help someone you might be the only one. I wish more people cared about the earth as much as they care about who they believe created it. Earth is our home and a home to many animals please take care of it. Always be open minded, being close minded never benefits anyone. Respect others....

Children Of Eternity

By Joseph J. Mazzella on May 25, 2016 / 3,800 views

With the ever increasing speed of change in today's world I have to admit that for the first time I am beginning to feel my age. When I was a boy being online meant helping my Mom hang up my jeans on the clothesline behind our house. Twitter was what you heard from the birds in the trees. There was no Facebook although I often had my face in a book. A smart phone was one with a long cord so you could walk...

A Young Man...

By Mathuel on May 24, 2016 / 4,701 views

A friend of mine reached out to me about a young man in trouble. This young man had suffered years of abuse and neglect from his father and was greatly in trouble. He had faltered to drug addiction, been through numerous failed relationships. He trusted no one and was convinced that everyone was out to get him. When I was introduced to him he had a hateful glare, encompassed by an egoistic attachment to the...

What Are You Going To Do With Your Life?

By Average Jane on May 23, 2016 / 1,844 views

Money is the route of all evil. The older I become the more I realize how true this statement is. I will be graduating next week and all of my family keep asking me "what are you going to do with your life?" the answer is I'm not completely sure. I imagine I will go to college to complete my bachelors degree while working a part time job, then I will pursue a career in the field I studied where I...

Good People Are Still Out There!

The incident happened yesterday when I was travelling from Gurgaon to Noida. So I had to change my route at Rajeev Chowk. As I am new in the city I was not much aware of the platforms and the other fixtures. So I started looking for the route map which can help me reach Noida. In the midst of my search I hear a voice , "Han beta pucho (yes son , ask )". I thought it wasn't...

Things That Make Your Life Worth Living

There are tremendous of things in life which fill the life full of happiness but we lack to realise them like God, smile, fun, family, friends, love, learning, passion, charity etc etc. God- God is the most important part of our life without him we are incomplete. Wherever you go, how much friends, love, money, family you have still you need God. Smile how much and as much as you can....

Turning Tragedy Into Inspiration

By Sharon Kim on May 19, 2016 / 5,315 views

I don't mean to be a debby downer, but I promise there's a happy ending to this story.. as well as a very good lesson! I'll try to keep it short since I know people have short attention spans on the internet these days. But basically I wanted to share my story of picking myself back up after hitting rock bottom. In 2014, my mom was diagnosed with cancer. Sounds like an all too common...

Some people are very lonely and a friendly conversation will literally make their day, even if it seems insignificant to you.  Here are some stories people shared about those little compliments that went a long way: "I worked in a restaurant for a number of years and every Wednesday a family would come in with their adult special needs son. On...

Losing And Gaining

By Sanchitkhera on May 16, 2016 / 1,792 views

Life is all about things that are lost and things gained. You lose your time, you gain sympathy, and you lose your senses. You enjoy things when you lose yourself, and you gain things when you’re lost deeply in something you love. Losing and gaining are simply two sides of a coin, and they go back and forth just like a pendulum. You can’t see, think about, or even image a world where there is only...

It's Good To Be Different!

By Gera Cortez on May 16, 2016 / 4,551 views

Monday? Most of the working bees would hate it! Well, I used to be one of them, but not anymore. Don't get me wrong! I am not that workaholic who have starry eyes when the thought of Monday pops out. I am so not that! NOT Now! Maybe in the future, but really not now! But still, I felt so happy this morning. Try to think of it, I usually hate mornings and still do, but today...

Mountain Bike Adventure

By Nour on May 16, 2016 / 2,611 views

My friend took me on a mountain bike adventure in the woods. I never biked on a fat bike or on a muddy trail. The bike was surprisingly light in weight but big in shape. I fell out of my bike seat when I tried to jump over a tree that was blocking the rail. But I laughed so hard, because I tried a new move and it was funny! We went down the Mississippi River, the view was indescribable,...

Hammering The Stee

By Gera Cortez on May 13, 2016 / 2,604 views

The air seems whispering something to me. I just can’t understand it. It is one of the moments in my life that I became nostalgic. I don’t want to say that time flew very fast as people say, because I know that it didn’t. It is just that I lose track of time because of an upside-down journey I just had. It feels like I am jetlagged. Well, it’s my first English column as far...
