My Gram On Thanksgiving

By Nicole Chrzan on November 26, 2016 / 3,711 views

My Gram had a wonderful day yesterday at my mom's house for Thanksgiving. She didn't remember one of our names, didn't know whose kids where whose, who was dating/engaged/married to whom, or the last time we were all together. She asked us a million questions, most repeats from just moments before. What my Gram does know at this point is love. We haven't laughed so hard and been so at ease in a...

To My Nice Neighbors

By Anon on November 26, 2016 / 3,817 views

I live next door to an older Mexican women and she raises (I assume) her grandson. She doesn't speak any English, so I've never really talked with her other than a wave here and there. Occasionally her kid will catch me walking my dog (7 year old lab) and he loves to come say hi. The kid sees me taking out the trash the other day and asks where my dog is, I explain to him that my dog is sick...

The Soul Doesn't Know A Thing About Deadlines

By Jeff Brown on November 25, 2016 / 4,314 views

Sometimes the people with the greatest potential often take the longest to find their path because their sensitivity is a double edged sword - it lives at the heart of their brilliance, but it also makes them more susceptible to life's pains. Good thing we aren't being penalized for handing in our purpose late. The soul doesn't know a thing about...

Thankful

By Joseph J. Mazzella on November 23, 2016 / 0 views

It was a cool November afternoon and I was standing ankle deep in leaves with a rake in my hand. The trees were almost all bare and it was time to rake the leaves before the first snows started to fall. The sun was low in the sky and I knew it would be dark in just a few hours. Still, I was thankful for the smell of the dry leaves, the stark beauty of November, and the chance to get a little exercise while I...

Aspire, Dream, Take The Step

By Antoinetta G on November 23, 2016 / 0 views

A few days ago, I was on the bus, staring out of the window, lost in thought. It was a beautiful day, the sun was out, birds were chirping, the sky was blue, with a slight view of lingering clouds. I felt the warmth and smiled. That's when it hit me: the sky really isn't the limit. I see the sky as a world of possibility, with no boundaries. I've faced loss and challenges head-first. There were so...

An Amazing Family Does Amazing Things To Honor Their Daughter

By Angelo Collazo on November 21, 2016 / 0 views

Seven years ago, my wife and I had to take our five week old daughter off of life support, by far the hardest and most painful decision of our life. Our daughter, Alle Shea, was born with the rare bone disease called Osteogenesis Imperfecta (also known as Brittle Bones). At birth Alle Shea’s skull looked like a cracked egg on the x-rays. She also had multiple fractures in her arms and her ribs, her legs,...

Attitude Is Everything

By House Company on November 20, 2016 / 3,289 views

Attitude is one of the few things in life where we have a true choice. We cannot change what is fated to happen or the actions of events or other people. What we can change is our reaction to such things with the attitude we adopt. In truth, our attitude can be more important that anything we do. It can make or break families and nations. It's more important than schooling, talent, looks or...

You Never Know How Strong You Are, Until Being Strong Is Your Only Choice

By MBCTX on November 18, 2016 / 3,340 views

Change is considerably easier when you have a full complement of supporting partners and unlimited resources. But, since very often it is the shock of a death, divorce or some other life tragedy that unceremoniously tosses us out of our comfort zone to fend for ourselves, it can mean being forced to strike out alone which for many of us is the scariest part of all. Probably the most difficult thing...

It's OK To Be Vulnerable

By Mara Prose on November 17, 2016 / 0 views

Today, I want you simply to remember that it is ok to give into your vulnerabilities. We aren’t equipped to carry around all our baggage alone. We need to learn to allow other people to support and nurture us throughout our storms. We all have weaknesses and need to get over the belief that we are failures when we need to reach out and seek a helping hand. Cry, scream, pout; do whatever you...

Troubling Times

By Joseph J. Mazzella on November 16, 2016 / 0 views

At the conclusion of this last political election ending with my beloved country being more divided than ever a friend wrote me a letter sharing her fears and concerns for the future. She ended it with this sentence: “We live in troubling times.” I couldn’t help but agree with her, but the more I thought about it the more I realized that these current times aren’t the only troubling...

Not Your End

By Essi Jahlya on November 16, 2016 / 0 views

I was 17 after I completed high school and had nothing to do. I started going round homes doing laundry and house chores at a small cost, I later did landscaping jobs. In December 2015 I got a sales job in a certain company but resigned last September. People thought that was my end but since then God has divinely provided for me. 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 Got A 100% On My Philosophy Essay!

By Anon on November 14, 2016 / 2,021 views

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...

When You Co-author Your Life's Story

By Kamal Khanzada on November 11, 2016 / 0 views

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. I wasn’t under the pressure of being the breadwinner of the house but I always wanted to do something which would make my family feel proud of me. I started off as a salesman and loader. It wasn’t a fancy job. Every day, I wondered...

Night Watch

By Roy Popkin on November 10, 2016 / 0 views

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. Heavily sedated because of the pain of his heart attack, he dimly saw the young uniformed Marine standing outside the oxygen tent. He reached out his hand. The Marine wrapped his...

What I Want

By Joseph J. Mazzella on November 08, 2016 / 0 views

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...
