My Adventure With Grandma

By Kay on December 01, 2015 / 3,069 views

I remember my first Christmas adventure with Grandma. I was just a kid. I remember tearing across town on my bike to visit her on the day my big sister dropped the bomb: "There is no Santa Claus," she jeered. "Even dummies know that!" My Grandma was not the gushy kind, never had been. I fled to her that day because I knew she would be straight with me. I knew Grandma...

With faith in God we start our journey. In loneliness only we can know ourself 'The Most Amazing Person' in the world. Our potential, our strength, our intelligence and moreover our own passions. The basic...

Changes

By Joseph J. Mazzella on November 29, 2015 / 4,768 views

As the year rushes towards its end here in the mountains of my home, changes are everywhere. The sunlight suddenly seems scarce. The blue skies are more gray. The leaves have fallen and the trees are bare. The grass has gone yellow and snow will be coming soon. The winds have turned bitter making my coat a necessity. Inside my home it is time for thick socks and warm sweaters. Hot soups have replaced...

Keeping The Ego Away

Starting from this month I have been encountering one or other hardships from all directions. In the recent past a heavy downpour on our town has caused inundation of low lying areas with flood waters. I have to attend all the relief work. No sleep, everyone was demanding Immediate remedies. During the course I behaved very rude with my colleague which snowballed into other grim situation. Even while posting...

Carrying The Dirt

"Carrying the dirt in our mind, hinder our personal growth" People who indulge in misbehaviour & wrong deeds may not be so as apparently they are. All good people looking nice in their words & deeds may not be as good they appear as. Now it is very wise to see good in bad people and bad in good people. Nobody in this world is absolutely good and...

Realization Of Strength From My 4 Year Old Boy

By Ariel Janvier on November 25, 2015 / 5,612 views

When people hear about my past and see what I go through, I'm usually told I'm strong. I've always had a hard time believing this. Today that changed and I now believe it. My first born son, newly four years old, was having a tantrum. I was annoyed and wanted to just walk away. But I thought to myself I would try to handle the situation differently this time. I hugged him and asked...

A famous writer was in his study room. He picked up his pen and started writing: **Last year, I had a surgery and my gallbladder was removed. I had to stay stuck to the bed due to this surgery for a long time. **The same year I reached the age of 60 years and had to give up my favourite job. I had spent 30 years of my life in this publishing company. **The same year I...

Angle Of Perception

Once, a professor kept a chair at a certain distance on the stage, in front of the audience. He started his lecture, then pointing to the middle row, those who were sitting exactly in front of the chair, he asked, 'How many legs the chair has that you can see, but answer me exactly what you observe, not assuming that the chair has four legs?' The first person of the middle row replied,...

Precious Memory

By Kay on November 23, 2015 / 2,254 views

I was about to go out the door of the Memory Care Center when Naomi, one of my favorite residents, asked if we could sing a song. Singing is something I did a lot of while I work at the Memory Care Center. I found that singing had a calming effect on the residents. Naomi suggested her usual song, "Amazing Grace". We were singing "Amazing Grace" as we walked into the family room...

I Choose To Sing

By Joseph J. Mazzella on November 23, 2015 / 4,670 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 / 2,022 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 / 5,296 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 / 7,178 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...
