I Choose To Sing

By Joseph J. Mazzella on November 23, 2015 / 4,372 views

God loves us all so much and He speaks to us in more ways than we can imagine. Just the other day I was driving my son to the part-time job he has at a sheltered workshop for the disabled. The sky was a dark grey. A cold rain was pouring down. The world seemed silent and sad with both people and animals taking shelter from the storm. I turned on the car radio for a little music to lift my spirits. When I did,...

My husband Bill was driving out west. He kept hearing on the radio that there were several tornado's spotted. As he drove he could see what looked like a tornado behind him. He put the pedal to the metal and tried to outrun it. Wouldn't you know he looked at the fuel gauge. He had no choice but to stop for fuel. Of all times, when he didn't want to stop, he had to. As he...

You're Already In Pain. Why Not Make It Worth It?

By Cloe on November 23, 2015 / 1,739 views

I'm always the negative person in our distro. I always commit mistakes and even though I tried my best, still it's not enough. I hate myself for being so stupid and I want to give up and be long gone. One day, when I had a coaching session with my coach to tackle about the things that I'm doing wrongly. My coach was asking me why I'm not focused with my work and all. He expected for...

Truth Triumphs

By C M Reddy on November 23, 2015 / 4,960 views

Truth always triumphs and stands like unflinching tower. Once there was a Jackal in the forest wandering for food, but could not get the stomach full meal. Every animal in the forest had very menial treatment towards the Jackal as it was weak and could not hunt for its food. But the jackal wondered about the tiger's popularity, every animal was afraid of the Big Cat. It hunts effortlessly and...

Ignore What People Say

By Sonia Kaur on November 18, 2015 / 6,786 views

People always talk negativity though it is related to our skills, our relationship, about illness. Very few people talk about positivity. Can people judge you when they don't know what is in your heart. You yourself is a better judge so judge yourself by analysing your thoughts and actions. Don't spend your life in proving yourself. When you accept yourself then you don't need others...

Spread The Word

Sometimes love is not enough, sometimes we have to believe in ourselves for the love to grow, and to expand. His power is immense but it can only exist in our self-love and to the love of the entire humanity. There are no terrorists or victims. There are only human beings in the wrong place at the wrong time, following their own way of life in their own comprehension of the world. It will...

Never Say Never

It was 2009, on a beautiful summer afternoon in Goldersgreen. Giggling with my dear friend in a Chinese restaurant, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around to see who wanted my attention. There he was- my waiter and he said "sorry lady, the gentleman over there just paid your bill". With mouth agape, I looked backwards and there he was, my gentle giant with a heart of gold. I stood up...

Comfort Zone

I've met some really interesting people in my life. Each person has a story and I've learned so much by listening to them. The other day I was talking to a guy at Planet Fitness. Jim* shared with me a few things about his life that were pretty surprising. However, what stood out to me the most was what happened to him after he had a heart attack. Jim shared how after the heart...

Second Chances

By Maya Angelou on November 17, 2015 / 5,559 views

I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. I've learned that making a living is not the same thing as making a life. I've learned that life sometimes gives you a...

Storing Up Ammunition

By Kay on November 16, 2015 / 3,479 views

I've known people who store up ammunition. I'm not talking about ammunition for guns, but negative ammunition to use on people. Why anyone wants to keep this negative stuff stored in their minds is beyond me, but they do. I've done it myself. Whenever someone does anything that they don't like they get their ammunition out and let them have it. "Well, I remember this, that, or...

The Decision

By Joseph J. Mazzella on November 16, 2015 / 1,938 views

I can still remember the first time I truly felt my heart break. I was 25 years old, sitting in a hospital room with the rest of my family. My beautiful Mom was in the last day of her courageous 4 year fight with Cancer. I looked down on her withered body lying on the bed and saw the sadness in her eyes. She could no longer speak but we all still felt her love for us. Together we waited while her breathing...

You Think You Know, But You Don't Know

By Kay on November 16, 2015 / 2,287 views

Have you ever noticed how some trees take forever to drop their dead leafs? I was thinking how these trees were a lot like me. Why on earth did I hang on to things that were dead for so long? We all know that worry, anger, bitterness, jealously, etc. do not add one thing to our lives. They are draining. When some unhappy thought (dead leaf) would come to my mind, either tears would fill my eyes or I...

What You Don't Feed Dies

By Kay on November 13, 2015 / 2,359 views

What you don't feed dies! Now that's a fact. Over the years I've had to think, "What you don't feed dies!" more than a few times in regards to some thoughts and behaviors I wanted to get rid of. Years ago I could get myself in a real panic over something just by the wrong thoughts I would think about it. For instance, I gave Todd, our 15 year old son an allergy...

Home

By Lovely on November 12, 2015 / 3,829 views

The greatest love affair of my life isn't with a person, but a house. It may seem shallow, but really it's far from it. My great grandfather built this house with his bare hands in the late 1930's. The living room I sit in while I write this is the same living room I sat in when my grandfather brought me here to visit his mother, my great grandma. She always kept a candy dish full of candy on her...

Thanksgiving Mode Activated

I'm feeling truly grateful to God today particularly because this year has been a very tough year. For me, today is another day of reflection, realization and acceptance of my life's journey. The last time I embarked on soul searching activity was during the festive period of Easter 2015. Sometimes I wonder how I still keep a smile on my face and look reasonably okay. I have learnt to...
