I was traveling in a bus long distance to visit my family, 6 hours in the road to be precise. I start feeling bad, light headed I am brunette but I assume I looked really pale at the moment and I was sweating. I was traveling alone and there wasn’t anyone familiar I could ask help to. To add to the story, I was broke and I had just the exact amount to the...

I am a mum, a wife and an author of “Tea with the Dutchess: How to do anything with style”. I have made it a habit to tell my children to make good choices, every day when dropping them off to school or to their activities, and while blowing them my goodbye kisses, I whisper “bring your manners with you”. This might sound like I am about to give a lecture; however, I believe...

The attendant said it would be twenty dollars for it. She looked so disappointed so I handed her the twenty dollars and said just get it and enjoy your swim. The smile was priceless. Made my day...

I was at my local shopping center, walking to the supermarket, thinking about what a long week it had been, when I felt a familiar “buy a bunch of flowers for someone” feeling. I haven’t done it for a while, so bought one with my groceries and started back towards my exit, looking for the right person to give the flowers to. I finally saw an older lady sitting with a middle aged...

CRACK! BOOM! I sat up in my bed, my heart pounding in my chest, and a startled scream escaping my lips. I was a teenage boy and had been sleeping deeply a few seconds ago. The gentle rain that was falling when I went to sleep, however, had turned into a savage storm while I dreamed. The lightening strike that had just hit felt like it was right outside my window. It took me a long time to fall back asleep...

This morning I was in Cole’s. I got to the checkout and saw the lady in front of me had eggs. I mentioned "eggs that’s what I should have picked up whilst they have them in stock". Instantly her young teenage son walked quickly away. His mom said "I think he’s gone to get eggs for you." Sure enough he came back with a carton of...

I fled domestic abuse with my kids and we've had an absolutely awful time getting away. We've had to move around 5 different locations but we finally moved into our forever home this weekend. We had nothing and I'm not above begging so I did, I put a post on Facebook and begged for free or very very cheap furniture. I wasn't expecting much, but we actually did get a lot of support...

Happiness isn’t earned, it’s noticed. You can put a lot of energy into getting to a position where happiness is easier to notice. But if you’ve ever felt underwhelmed about an achievement, you know that the happiness isn’t automatic. Instead, you need to practice noticing happiness around you. It’s actually a rather common and accessible emotion, we just usually tune out most of...

Sometimes it only takes a moment for God to remind us of what life is all about. I was driving to a local blood drive at a church the other day. It had been a long week. Bad news had followed bad news all week long. By blood drive day I was feeling emotionally exhausted and despite all of my efforts I couldn’t seem to lift my spirits. I only hoped to donate blood as quickly as possible, go home, and get...

Some dude filled my gas tank once. Years ago. Apparently my card got declined cause it was negative (a bill went through) and the guy behind me asked which pump I was on and I told him pump 3. He said "put 40 dollars on pump 3." I'm in disbelief like this didn't just happen and I asked the dude "are you sure" and he says "yes. Just pay it...
