I recently got a job as a brand ambassador in my previous company's...

It Was This Day That Her Life Changed

By Life Lessons on November 14, 2016 / 0 views

One morning she woke up different. Done with trying to figure out who was with her, against her, or walking down the middle because they didn’t have the guts to pick a side. She was done with anything that didn’t bring her peace. She realized that opinions were a dime a dozen, validation was for parking, and loyalty wasn’t a word but a lifestyle. It was this day that her life changed. And not...

I guess I'll make this post inspiring by giving a little back story. I was kicked out right after high school, did nothing aside from self-abusive behaviour for two years, lost most of my friends, thought my life was over and that there was nothing for me. I decided to give life one more chance so I enrolled in a university. I took a philosophy class and it all changed. Not only do I want to live, but...

Every one of us goes through ups and downs in life. However, every individual’s story has a unique perspective, which is what sets it apart. I led a normal life.

A nurse took the tired, anxious serviceman to the bedside. ‘Your son is here,' she said to the old man. She had to repeat the words several times before the patient's eyes opened.

What I Want

When I was a freshman just starting college I really wanted to be rich. I even had pictures of a big luxury car and a huge mansion that I had cut out of magazines and pasted in my notebook. I wanted to become a wealthy businessman or a best selling author. I wanted to be both famous and successful. Of course, I never did get any of those things and I thank God for that everyday. You see, in time I...

By Christopher Bell on November 07, 2016 / 0 views

For the past three years, I have been growing my hair to donate to charity. Back then, I wasn't even doing it to be a hair donor, but just because my wife liked my hair long. Right before we got married, I cut it. ​ I was starting a new job and like many recent college graduates I didn’t want my long hair keeping me from advancing professionally. Years later, when we found out my wife...

My two tiny book shelves are full of photo albums and scrap books. I have three boxes of books in my closet, two boxes of books on the floor of my bedroom, and a box of children’s books waiting for my future...

The other day I had an idea: what if I approach strangers on the street here in Japan and try to sell them one minute beatboxing performances for 100 yen (one US dollar)? Altogether I approached 13 different groups and I had no idea it was going to go this well. I recorded it all, so here is a video containing the...

Heaven Sent

It was a chilly Autumn morning a few years ago. I was driving along the mountain roads slower than usual trying to take in all the Fall colors. It seemed like all of the leaves had changed overnight. It looked as if God in His good-humor and love had painted the mountains themselves while we slept. The yellow and gold leaves were sparkling in the sunshine. The red and orange ones were fluttering brilliantly in...

In October of 2003 I had just started my work in the at my local animal shelter’s Adoption Department. It seems like such a long time ago. In the 13 years that have passed, more than 50,000 animals have passed the doors of the shelter. Most of them, I do not remember. They have become a blur. The images of the various dogs, cats, rabbits, etc. merge and have become nearly indistinguishable from one...
