A Facebook Group Made My Family's Night

By Kitteh_glitter on February 08, 2016 / 2,622 views

Almost three years ago, I was forced to sell my beloved little dog. My kids loved her, and I loved her so much. I was heart broken, but I found a great family through an online sale site. My kids have asked about her once in a while, but I had deleted the messages long ago, and I had no idea how to find out how she was doing. Fast forward to tonight, I was watching Netflix with my kids, and I noticed that my...

A Glimpse Of His Soul

By Joseph J. Mazzella on February 05, 2016 / 5,507 views

YEEEE! The sound jarred me out of my dreams on a cold, Winter’s night. I sat up, threw aside my blankets, and fumbled for my glasses in the dark. I opened my bedroom door and saw a light coming from the bathroom. I knew then that it was my youngest son, Casey. Casey has had a severe form of Autism all of his life. He speaks only a few words and is bound by his daily routines. Small changes...

Learning From Children

By C M Reddy on February 05, 2016 / 5,721 views

Children teach many precious things for a Happy living, for which usually we adults turn a blind eye. One fine morning recently this truth has taught a great lesson for me. We in India during morning prayer offer flowers and fruits for worshipping the God. The flowers anyway we have to change every day because they wilt away soon. But the fruits we bring will run for three or four days. It is quite...

Awakening Heart

By Oneysa Mendoza on February 03, 2016 / 6,966 views

One Sunday afternoon, I was watching a talk show and this phrase caught me: "You are not hurt by the love you gave but you are hurt on how you expected to receive it." I wonder, "what pain can I sustain?" Is when I see my love ones suffering from sickness or having a terminal disease or fired from my dream job. Sometimes, when adversity comes and things is not working in the way...

Dance In The Rain

By Thirumur David Kiran on February 03, 2016 / 6,930 views

No matter what you do, life always has its storms. The way I see it, there are three things you can do: you can try to run away from the rain, you can curse the fact that it is falling on you, or you can thrill in the moment and dance in the rain! That, my friends, is truly living!" -- Thirumur David Kiran I penned these lines a few years back when I was at a very low point in my life. Nothing...

Living A Beautiful Life

By C M Reddy on February 03, 2016 / 6,221 views

Living always at Happiness is something not possible every day, we are prone to various kinds of emotions both negative and positive. When we wake up early in the morning we expect the day as more delightful than yesterday that is the usual way we think, but we easily get depressed when someone upset our mind with their negative stuff, they poison our ears simply by igniting negative emotions like...

Ready?

By Hugh Laurie on February 03, 2016 / 4,719 views

It's a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you're ready. I have this feeling now that actually no one is ever ready to do anything. There is almost no such thing as ready. There is only now. And you may as well do it now. Generally speaking, now is as good a time as...

A Lesson Taught In Silence

By John on February 01, 2016 / 4,403 views

One day, when i was back at kerala, I had gone out with one of my friends and got a chance to meet all his friends too. Well, it was a lot of talking. I felt that even I couldn't hear my voice out there. Everyone was talking about the problems he or she were facing in life - some about divorced parents, some about broken relationships, some about not getting a job. I don't remember the rest, but there...

Get Over Yourself - You're Nothing Special

By Amanda Chouinard on February 01, 2016 / 6,734 views

I can't tell you, how many times I've been shown or told this in my life(friends, family, partners, bosses, strangers etc). I'm nothing exceptional in terms of looks or intelligence. I view life as most people do-get a job, live and then eventually die...perhaps have a relationship,some kids and hobbies to pass the time. What's depressing more than accepting I'm nothing...

The Circle?

By Rick Euker on February 01, 2016 / 2,069 views

Could it be true that "what goes around comes around"? Does happiness run in a circular motion? Does hate curve in on itself? Is life simply linear? Could life just begin nowhere and end nowhere? Wouldn't a large curve arcing through the Universe look like a straight line up close? Could my circle be made of many lifetimes? Could I be living, or even re-living, the circle I created? Am...

How To Gain Self Confidence

By Sonia Kaur on February 01, 2016 / 4,844 views

Self confidence means accepting one own self gracefully. We all are created so beautifully by God but we haven't realise it because we are influenced by others. So be yourself and be confident. Whenever we are in the situation of listening praise we try to change the topic or start praising our ownself, this is wrong this is a biggest sign of inferiority complex. To maintain confidence and to...

A Loving Hand

By Joseph J. Mazzella on February 01, 2016 / 4,171 views

In the middle of Winter when a thick layer of snow covers the ground and the bitter, North wind is banging against my frosted windows I sometimes close my eyes and daydream of Spring. I imagine that snow melting into the ground and nourishing the tiny seeds beneath the soil. I think of those seeds springing to life and turning into thousands of red, yellow, pink, and purple flowers. I imagine the dry, brown...

You Are Powerful - Be Empowered!

By Antonietta Gutierrez on January 31, 2016 / 2,414 views

Have you ever experienced that moment when you're so tired and you feel as if everything is going backwards rather than pushing forward? Then something amazing happens, it's like that sudden burst of energy from waking up in the morning? I really don't know how to describe it... The feeling just makes you wanna stand up, jump around, smile, cry.... DO SOMETHING!! That right there is strength. In...

God Speaks Through Someone

By C M Reddy on January 31, 2016 / 2,291 views

It may be in the form of Voice of Command, a Protest, the Silent Look or gentle Whisper & a warm suggest. To corroborate the above truth, I had an incident that took place in the middle of my night journey four days ago. I was traveling a 500km distance in a luxury bus from my home town towards our Capital city where I had to attend a meeting. Exactly after three hours the vehicle was exuding...

The Ending Of A Good Friendship

By Zayn on January 31, 2016 / 4,199 views

It was the last day of high school. I had known my friend for 5 years. Thick or thin we went through it all. It was on this last day he said something which touched my heart. We stood outside on the football pitch watching some 12 year olds play football, jut reminiscing of the times we played football day in day out. Which was exactly when this took place... Me: look, I'm sorry for...

By George Dolan on January 31, 2016 / 4,836 views

Teacher Debbie Moon's first graders were discussing a picture of a family. One little girl in the picture had different color hair than the other family members. One child suggested that she was adopted and a little girl named Jocelynn Jay said, "I know all about adoptions because I'm adopted." "What does it mean to be adopted?" asked another...

Vicki And Jason

By Pray For Chase on January 29, 2016 / 5,763 views

Today my kids and I were in the Apple Store, La Encantada Tucson, AZ. My son Chase was at one of the tables working on his homework while I talked to one of the Apple associates. In the corner of my eye I noticed an associate named Vicki (shown right in the picture) speaking to Chase and I thought it was so nice she took the time to chat with him. I did not think much of it but later when I was talking to the...
