Always be yourself. Never try to hide who you are. The only shame is to have shame. Always stand up for what you believe in. Always question what other people tell you. Never regret the past, it's a waste of time. There's a reason for everything. Every mistake, every moment of weakness, every terrible thing that has happened to you. Grow from it. The only way can ever get the respect of others is when...

True Colors

By Joseph J. Mazzella on September 30, 2015 / 5,291 views

To me Fall will always be the most spectacular of the seasons. By the end of Summer the bright, green buds that gave the promise of new life in the early Spring have turned into dark green leaves. Having grown all they can they are content to just exist, sleepy and satisfied. Then one day a single leaf begins to change and release its true colors hidden within. As the cool night gives way to a warm morning...

"By letting go, you allow everything to find its rightful place. Once free, everything finds its way home." Sometimes, love isn't enough to make a relationship strong, you have to considered each weaknesses and strength. Besides, there's no perfect relationship anyways, only human makes it complicated. Indeed, respect each other regardless the status. Trust each other regardless...

Gratitude Matters

By Pamela on September 28, 2015 / 5,121 views

As the new day begins, I remind myself that I have so much to be grateful for just outside my front door. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, the day is filled with promise. Even if the skies were gray and rain was on the horizon, there is gratitude to be found in the rain nurturing the Earth. I believe that finding gratitude for the nature around me, gives me a foundation to find...

It Really Does Get Better

By Isra Catori on September 28, 2015 / 5,462 views

There was a time when every new day was just an accident waiting to happen, in my mind. For over five years, I'd dealt with an ever-growing depression and struggled to figure out just how anything could get better in a life with no hope. But at the time, I didn't realize that hope could be found anywhere - even in myself. I went to therapy, talked to friends and family,...

One Day It Just Clicks

By Life Lessons on September 26, 2015 / 7,093 views

One day it just clicks. You realize what's important and what isn't. You learn to care less about what other people think of you and more about what you think of yourself. You realize how far you've come and you remember when you thought things were such a mess that you would never recover. And you SMILE. You smile because you are truly proud of yourself and the...

Taking Me Beyond My Comfort Zone, An Unforgettable Gift

By Mary York on September 23, 2015 / 4,791 views

(A Windows Within Project, Hospice Volunteer Reflection) I remember visiting one special patient who was a resident in a care facility. As is often the case in these homes, I not only visited with him, but also with the many residents in the home. They had a big common area for the residents and there always seemed to be about eight or ten residents that gathered at any one time in the room. Of...

Think Of Someday

By Nika Harper on September 23, 2015 / 5,238 views

Someday you’ll give a speech And the world will listen. Not just tech conference associates stuck in a row But lost people seeking guidance in the same way we once sought it. Someday you’ll stand up and talk Not about minutiae, but overall experiences. You’ll discuss your choices and how no choices are wrong But some give more...

Singing From The Soul

By Joseph J. Mazzella on September 23, 2015 / 4,377 views

I was 8 years old, squirming on a hard wooden pew in our church. I tried to follow the sermon but it was a bit over my head at that age. Finally, it was time to sing the closing hymn. I stood up with a smile. Our church guitarist and hymn leader was my music teacher at school and a family friend. I always loved hearing her sing and I also loved joining in. She started to play and everyone in the church began...

In the 9th grade, I attempted suicide. On May 2nd, 2015. The reason? I had a bad break up with my boyfriend. I know, "Oh! It's just a boy!" I get that a lot. But here's the catch.

The Day You Get What Life Really Is

By Brooklyn Herz on September 21, 2015 / 5,347 views

It was my eighth grade year that I finally figured out what it meant to be alive. Every person has their own views on life. Whether it be from creation by God or evolution through science, everyone has an idea of where they received their life from. Before eighth grade year, I'd consider myself average. I went through the motions of each day. I did what every normal person did and just kept on...

Before humans die, they write their last Will & Testament, give their home and all they have, to those they leave behind. If with my paws, I could do the same, this is what I'd ask: To a poor and lonely stray I'd give: My happy home. My bowl and cozy bed, soft pillows and all my toys. The lap, which I loved so much. The hand that stroked my fur and the...
