My Girl

By Glenn Geroux on June 25, 2015 / 3,526 views

The song "My Girl" is a classic Motown hit. I love the song and when my second daughter was born it became "our" song. As a baby, I would dance with her around the house listening to our song, as she got older we would dance arm in arm to our song. To this day, if we are anywhere near each other in the house, or at a social gathering, and the song comes on, we will seek each other out and...

In this big world there are different kind of people, their living style, culture and language but, surprisingly one thing is common and that is time. It plays it's role everywhere some time bad and sometime good. I am sure most of us in our lives have seen the bad time.

A Friend

By Sonia Kaur on June 24, 2015 / 4,472 views

You know why we all are crying? Because we keep on asking despite of giving. Lets start giving. Despite of searching for a good friend, lets give a genuine friendship. The world needs a good friend and you are a good friend. Look at yourself - there is a good friend in you. In searching, perhaps we get a good friend or not but in being a good friend we will get uncountable friends. Why we are alone...

I Want To Be Like My Little Girl

By Jyoti on June 23, 2015 / 3,186 views

Generally, many of us feel that our kids should be like us. They should learn good things from us they should behave the way we teach them. Surprisingly when I see my 1 year old baby girl, I feel that I have so much to learn from her. I want to laugh the way she laughs non stop on small small things. I want to be as free as she is .... happy in her own world. Laughing loudly on getting even a torn piece of...

It was a warm evening in June. I was a young dad, sitting in a lawn chair, holding my baby boy on my lap. My wife and I had just rented an old house with a big yard. Her uncle along with his wife and two, young daughters had dropped by to pay us a visit. As we adults sat outside, sipping iced tea, and watching the sun go down, the two girls raced around the yard, laughing, yelling, and trying their best to...

What Is Happiness?

By Sonia Kaur on June 20, 2015 / 2,409 views

Happiness is an inside job. We have read about it many times but have we ever felt it? Give a sweet to a poor kid and seeing his smile gives you an internal smile... this is happiness. We are blessed with many things but we only realize their worth when we loose it... realize and be thankful for everything you have. This is happiness. Happiness is being yourself. Don't follow others....

The Bright Side Of The Moon

By Coach Muller on June 19, 2015 / 3,710 views

I have always found it interesting that in most things in life, there is a bright, positive side and there is the polar opposite, the dark, sometimes unknowing side. I like to think of the moon as an example…when you look at it at night, you always see the bright side. You can see the light (do you see a rabbit or a face?), you can see the craters of the moon and with a telescope, you can see the true...

Devine Equilibrium

By Chandramouli Reddy on June 18, 2015 / 2,457 views

Till the recent past, I was thinking negative about the people who wish to pulled down me in my personal and family development. I wanted to retaliate all their wicked strategies with equal manoeuvres. Sometimes I made them to suffer for their wrongdoings. But during this process I also experienced similar kind of pain and agony. I was harsh in my words when it comes to deal with these people. I got my blood...

Today evening, I experienced the first showers of Southwest monsoon. So enthralling ... so charming. The sky poured it's happy tears on my tiny town. After the scorching heat that squeezed out our water from trees and human bodies, the first rain brought with it, the refreshment, vigour and quenching the thirst of all living organisms in and around. I came out on my two wheeler and did not wear a coat -...

I've Failed And Been Rejected So Many Times, And I Have Never Been Happier In My Life

By Saeed Mobayed on June 17, 2015 / 4,059 views

Growing up as a kid, I was always scared of my own shadow. I lived in a constant state of self-consciousness and as a result repressed my human expression in all its rawness and uniqueness. I was always calculating in my mind the most appropriate thing to say in social situations to avoid being judged and made fun of by other people. The fear of rejection by society was eating me up from inside out leaving...

Goodbye Max, Our Sweet Boy

By Zopa on June 17, 2015 / 2,710 views

Yesterday morning we had to say goodbye to the sweetest, goofiest, most lovable, most devoted dog anyone could ever hope to know. They found an inoperable tumor, and we were forced to let him go. For 11 years he kept us company, made us laugh, loved us, guarded us, worshiped the ground my children walked on. He grew up and grew old wanting nothing more than to be part of the family he loved so...

The Best Birthday Gifts You Give To Yourself

By Chubby Cheeks on June 16, 2015 / 2,328 views

27 candles will be on my cake next month. To me it means a number of things and I intend to celebrate my descent into my thirties with the vigour of the entire carnival in Brazil. I've survived self sabotage and short selling myself on things I truly wanted because of thinking its way above me. I'm finally watering my own garden, owning my stilettos and believing they look best on me. I'm no longer...

The Starfish

One day after a high tide, many starfish were brought to the shore. They started drying up in the sun. A boy, walking down the shore, started placing the starfish back into the sea one by one. A stranger who saw what he was doing walked up to him and asked: "Why are you doing this? Look around! There are millions of starfish; the shore is covered with them. Your attempts won't...

Why To Love God

By Sonia Kaur on June 15, 2015 / 2,624 views

God is omnipresent. Everything is under his control. He is truth. We realize the worth of God when we are in hard days and feel that we are helpless and only god can help us out. God is the best listener, he listens us patiently without interruption our all prayers, foolish talks. He talks with us through our intuitions, messages, dreams etc. God is generous and compassionate. He takes...

One Of My Students Made Me Cry

By Teacher on June 12, 2015 / 2,248 views

I teach in a brilliant school in the UK - not a private school, but somewhere the kids are almost universally excellent. I realised that something was wrong very quickly with you. You were once a happy, radiant girl. You were top of the school academically, friendly, popular. Even now, in your last year of school, you had dreams of being a doctor. But every now and again I'd see your...

Be The Candle

By Bob Dailey on June 12, 2015 / 2,836 views

There’s a place in Baja, on the Sea of Cortez side, about 100 miles south of San Felipe called Gonzaga Bay. You can drive there pretty easily (by Baja standards) nowadays. But, 30 years ago, it was quite an adventure to get there. Your reward for all that off road adventure (other than the journey itself)? An off-the-grid community of small “houses” on a beautiful bay with whatever supplies...
