The Calculus Of Love

By Joseph J. Mazzella on October 19, 2016 / 0 views

When I was a little boy my Mom, Dad, Nana, and brothers would often play cards at the kitchen table in the afternoons. It was a fun way to pass the time and after watching countless games of Rummy, Black Jack, Knock, and Poker I started to join in. I was only five but I learned quick and was soon winning as often as I lost. When I started school I found out something too: all of those hours playing cards had...

An Immigrant's Story

By Pawel Chmielewski on October 19, 2016 / 0 views

When coming to this Country 23 years ago, I imagined it being full of great opportunities to shape my future and my financial desires. The goal was very simple: manage my own business, obtain financial freedom, and help my family and others at the same time. I moved to the small town of Webster, MA where I worked as a machine operator in a local textile factory. At that time, I learned that if I...

Wedding Wonder!

By Libby on October 17, 2016 / 0 views

I was meeting up with one of my bridesmaids the other day to have a dress fitting, hoping upon hope that all would go smoothly. I had already had one bridesmaid say that their dress didn't fit and I know that she had a lot of experience with ordering online so I was very wary... The moment of truth came and the dress didn't fit. It was very perplexing, we were very careful with the sizing chart and...

Act Of Kindness And Love

By Joseph J. Mazzella on October 13, 2016 / 0 views

When I decided to major in English in college I thought it would be fun because I loved to read so much. It turned out to be a lot more difficult, though, than I thought it would be. The differences in the language over hundreds of years made many passages hard to comprehend. Trying to understand Shakespeare gave me headaches and Chaucer was even worse. Reading Byron, Keats, Shelly, Emerson, and Thoreau was...

Night Changes

By Grace on October 11, 2016 / 0 views

As a middle schooler, I was forced to go to a varsity football game as my brother plays on the team. A friend of mine was going so I thought I might as well go. As a girl who looks fairly good in other people's eyes (and horrible in my own), i was being crudely "complimented" by boys as i walked by them. My friend was doing nothing to stand up to them and I felt upset at the words they were using...

Eat Dessert First

By Joseph J. Mazzella on October 10, 2016 / 0 views

My wonderful daughter made me a red velvet birthday cake this year using her own special combination of creativity and love. It was huge and I cut myself the biggest piece. With the first bite I closed my eyes and smiled. It was so moist and sweet. The butter cream icing on top was delightfully thick. It had countless calories and it was so delicious without being necessarily nutritious. I didn’t mind,...

The Audition

By Ryan Schexnayder on October 10, 2016 / 2,525 views

Remember that promising actor from not so long ago? You would regularly sit in the theater and watch his plays unfold. He wasn't bad, but over the years his work had become very sloppy. His performances were now unpredictable. As attendance numbers dwindled, what was once a potentially good play was becoming a waste of your time and money. A movie ticket to be thrown away halfway in. Eventually, the entire...

The Message In Your Story

By Alfred Ijeh on October 10, 2016 / 1,995 views

Everyone has a history or a beginning, but the message in it makes you a different person. Everyone has a story about how life wasn't fair. When it all seems dark,when opportunity seems faraway, when our status could only point to flaws and Pity...when no impact is made...my message is that, no one will care to tell a tale about you if your story has no message of a zero to hero, a grass to grace, a...

For leading a happy life one needs faith in God. Having faith in God means being tension free. It is difficult but not impossible. You need first to be friendly with God. How can we be friendly with God? By sharing everything in heart like a baby sharing his everything with his mom. He shows his hunger by crying, happiness by laughing. Life shows every type of time. Good and bad, short and long,...

Sweet Sounds

My birthday present came in the mail a little early this year and my children being the sweethearts they are let me go ahead and open it. It was a new record player to play my old records on. I set it up in my bedroom. It looked like a black briefcase but it had speakers built into the sides and when I opened it up there was a turntable ready to go. I went over to the record collection that I had kept since...

Transformation

Today I came across the real experience of "transformation of human attitude" also a shift in their emotional disposition that would have prominent influence on their lives in future. Today as part of paying tribute to our 'father of nation' Mahatma Gandhiji's birth anniversary I visited central prison in our town on the invitation, specifically it was arranged in the female...

You have $86,400 in your bank account and someone stole $10 from you. Would you be upset and throw all of the $86,390 away in hopes of getting back at that person who took your $10?

Don't sweat the small stuff, life is bigger than...

Every Morning You Wake Up

Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up, it knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're the lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you'd better be...

How Old Are You?

By Joseph J. Mazzella on September 26, 2016 / 0 views

I have another birthday coming up soon. With the card, cake, present and hugs will, of course, come the inevitable question, “How old are you?” I have gotten to the point now where I can honestly say, “I’m not sure.” This body of mine is going to be 50 years old. This vehicle that carries around my soul will have been here half a century soon. Parts of it look younger and other...
