Peace Love Harmony = A Good Life

By Azumdialu on March 22, 2016 / 5,342 views

How do we manage life and it's numerous episodes? Everyone has their own opinion on this but one thing remains a fact - we can't always control what happens in our life's journey. I always watch my behavior in any setting, and how it affects other people around me. No matter how sour things have gone, I always tell a beautiful story out of it. I never dwell on a bad sad experience, but I...

Mission Haiti

By Jeanne Otis on March 21, 2016 / 4,974 views

A Heart for Haiti! It is never too late; to change the world! During our lives, we cross paths with various individuals. Some linger in our minds, prompting questions that need answers and the need to hear their story tugs at our heartstrings, not allowing us to disengage. I have one of those stories; crying out to be told. One that will not let me rest until my mission is complete. It...

Helping A Lost Elderly Man Find His Way Home

By Lauren Rios on March 20, 2016 / 8,009 views

Yesterday afternoon Misty Murphy and I were sitting in the grass while the girls were playing at the park. We saw an elderly gentleman pushing a shopping cart and struggling with each and every step he took. On two different occasions, I overheard him telling people that he was lost and my heart sank as I witnessed these people completely ignore what he had said. After thinking about it for a moment, I...

Just A Dream?

By Joseph J. Mazzella on March 18, 2016 / 7,172 views

For the last few months I had noticed the brakes on my car getting weaker and weaker. They still worked but it took longer for my car to stop and I had to push the brake pedal further to the floor. I knew that I needed a new set of brake pads put on, but it was the middle of a rough Winter and I had so many other things to do. I kept putting it off then and babied my brakes as much as I could. The other night,...

Loving And Losing

By DJ on March 17, 2016 / 6,798 views

It is always a great feeling when you have a best friend. To talk to, to care for you, and to grow with. But sadly, there is always the common circumstance of losing that best friend. That's just life and it is very possible to go your separate ways. Yes, it might not happen, but there's still always the fear of losing a close friend that you hold dear. About 5 years ago, I met my best...

The story begins with me, in high school. My father and mother both left me when I was young, and I had to take care of my younger sister. I met a beautiful girl, who was intelligent, beautiful and liked me for who I was. We spent happy days together, but it reached its breaking point. She was a year older, and graduated to University. I, like a coward, broke it off a few months before and that...

Take The Time To Dance

By Joseph J. Mazzella on March 14, 2016 / 7,619 views

It was over twenty years ago. My young family and I had just moved into the house I live in now. I could hear my children playing in my son’s bedroom while I washed the breakfast dishes in the kitchen sink. Our television was on the country music video channel and I was humming along to the tunes while I scrubbed the frying pan. Suddenly, I felt a gentle tug on the leg of my blue jeans. I looked down and...

There are plenty of people in this world rushing themselves to get luxurious lives. There are desire driven and satisfactory souls.

Paying It Forward Will Eventually Come Back To You

By Deric Wortham on March 10, 2016 / 18,460 views

A couple of days ago I was standing in line at the bank. A young girl (college age) was behind me with a Mason jar 1/3 filled with coins. I commented to her that she was supposed to wait until it was completely filled before cashing it in. She said that she didn't have any money in her account and that she had to cash it in now (it probably totaled $5.00). I remembered being a poor college student myself...

I Went To Wal-Mart To Grab Three Things, Then This Woman Asked Me To Stop

By E. Poole on March 10, 2016 / 2,700 views

I went into Walmart to grab three things: Fruit Loops, eggs and waffles. Healthy, I know. This woman was asking people for something and my goal was to bypass, get my things and go. She asked me to stop. I figured she was just asking for money and I already decided that I was going to politely let her know that I didn't have any cash on me. I never carry cash. Typically I don't mind giving a few bucks...

I'd been feeling stressed lately from work, new puppy, and my everyday duties. So last weekend I spontaneously decided to take a trip to Brevard, NC to relax.

I Am Not Smart, But Diligent

By Glory Fu on March 07, 2016 / 18,778 views

I’m an English self-learner; English is not my first language. Today I am an English teacher. I would like to voice that failures are not disastrous. Have faith, keep moving on, and never give up, you will see your hard work pay off. I was a slow learner when I was little. Before five, I couldn’t even speak in full sentences. Unlike most other children, I seldom interacted with others; I...

Just Kids

By Tink on March 07, 2016 / 5,240 views

I had never expected such an answer from my son. I was 28 at the time and my son had just been admitted into Madison Lakes Elementary, and was sitting on a park bench with me, telling me all about his friends there, all of the teachers... He was extremely excited, I could tell. Looking up into the cloudy blue sky while I listened to him ramble, I was having a hard time thinking of questions to ask...
