Follow Your Passion

By Annie on March 24, 2016 / 5,450 views

We all have difficulties, big or small. We all need that one thing to keep us going. When each of us wakes up in the morning we need a reason to get out of bed. Without this where will we find our motivation. If you find it in your work as I do, you are blessed. If not find time outside your work to sing, dance, paint, run, cycle or take up a high adrenaline activity. Whatever works for you is the...

I got home one night and, as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, 'I want a divorce.' She didn’t seem to be annoyed by my words. Instead, she softly asked me why. I avoided the question, and this made her angry. She threw down the chopsticks and shouted, 'You are not a man!' We didn’t talk to each other that night. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had...

Peace Love Harmony = A Good Life

By Azumdialu on March 22, 2016 / 4,578 views

How do we manage life and it's numerous episodes? Everyone has their own opinion on this but one thing remains a fact - we can't always control what happens in our life's journey. I always watch my behavior in any setting, and how it affects other people around me. No matter how sour things have gone, I always tell a beautiful story out of it. I never dwell on a bad sad experience, but I...

A Heart for Haiti! It is never too late; to change the world! During our lives, we cross paths with various individuals. Some linger in our minds, prompting questions that need answers and the need to hear their story tugs at our heartstrings, not allowing us to disengage. I have one of those stories; crying out to be told. One that will not let me rest until my mission is complete. It...

Yesterday afternoon Misty Murphy and I were sitting in the grass while the girls were playing at the park. We saw an elderly gentleman pushing a shopping cart and struggling with each and every step he took. On two different occasions, I overheard him telling people that he was lost and my heart sank as I witnessed these people completely ignore what he had said. After thinking about it for a moment, I...

Just A Dream?

By Joseph J. Mazzella on March 18, 2016 / 6,538 views

For the last few months I had noticed the brakes on my car getting weaker and weaker. They still worked but it took longer for my car to stop and I had to push the brake pedal further to the floor. I knew that I needed a new set of brake pads put on, but it was the middle of a rough Winter and I had so many other things to do. I kept putting it off then and babied my brakes as much as I could. The other night,...

Loving And Losing

By DJ on March 17, 2016 / 6,238 views

It is always a great feeling when you have a best friend. To talk to, to care for you, and to grow with. But sadly, there is always the common circumstance of losing that best friend. That's just life and it is very possible to go your separate ways. Yes, it might not happen, but there's still always the fear of losing a close friend that you hold dear. About 5 years ago, I met my best...

Take The Time To Dance

By Joseph J. Mazzella on March 14, 2016 / 6,982 views

It was over twenty years ago. My young family and I had just moved into the house I live in now. I could hear my children playing in my son’s bedroom while I washed the breakfast dishes in the kitchen sink. Our television was on the country music video channel and I was humming along to the tunes while I scrubbed the frying pan. Suddenly, I felt a gentle tug on the leg of my blue jeans. I looked down and...

A couple of days ago I was standing in line at the bank. A young girl (college age) was behind me with a Mason jar 1/3 filled with coins. I commented to her that she was supposed to wait until it was completely filled before cashing it in. She said that she didn't have any money in her account and that she had to cash it in now (it probably totaled $5.00). I remembered being a poor college student myself...

I went into Walmart to grab three things: Fruit Loops, eggs and waffles. Healthy, I know. This woman was asking people for something and my goal was to bypass, get my things and go. She asked me to stop. I figured she was just asking for money and I already decided that I was going to politely let her know that I didn't have any cash on me. I never carry cash. Typically I don't mind giving a few bucks...
