Four Leaf Clovers

By Curt Struna on June 07, 2013 / 1,719 views

Four Leaf Clovers I was at a picnic and saw a woman who seemed to be looking for something in the grass. Every few minutes she would pick out a four-leaf clover. I asked her, “How are you finding so many?” She said, “I just know that they’re there.” Some of the people that had been standing nearby sat down and began to search. Most of them didn’t find any, but some were finding them steadily. I...

Two Faces

By Joseph J. Mazzella on June 03, 2013 / 6,687 views

I got my second picture of the little girl that I sponsor overseas the other day. It made me smile from ear to ear when I saw it. Over the years I have sponsored several children through the organization, Children International and I have always been amazed at the difference between the first picture I get and the second. In the first picture I am always shocked by what I see. There is a gauntness in their...

It Will Be Alright

By Curt Struna on May 30, 2013 / 7,996 views

It Will Be Alright There are times when we need to be told that everything is going to be alright. Life is hard and there are times when you will feel like giving up. Don’t. It will be alright. It may not be the same, it may not be what you expected, it may hurt, but you will be alright. I’ve seen trouble in my life. There were times when I thought I couldn’t go on. But I know that I’m not...

She Knew Her Job Was Over

By Angel on May 28, 2013 / 2,541 views

Casey wasn't the most popular dog in her owner Carol Baird's neighborhood of Dalton, Ga. A huge, burly Alaskan malamute, she had a heart of gold but a nose for trouble. She'd slip out the Baird family's back door and trot down the street without a care. Most people gave her a wide berth. That was hardly surprising. From a distance, Casey looked a lot like a wolf. She behaved like one too, or at least had an...

Walking Into Heaven

By Joseph J. Mazzella on May 28, 2013 / 5,312 views

I love sunrises. I always have ever since I was a little boy. There is something so wonderful about walking outside at the break of dawn and seeing that glorious light drive out the darkness. That is why last Winter during the darkest part of the year, I bought a calendar full of sunrise pictures. I wanted to be able to wake up in the morning and gaze at that lovely light, even if it was still dark outside. When...

My Most Inspiring Business Moment...

By Stephanie Adams-Nicolai on May 26, 2013 / 7,076 views

My most inspiring business moment... Has nothing to do with business. My most inspiring business moment has been waking up to see my toddler son sleeping peacefully and knowing that all the businesses my husband and I own are spiritually motivated by our love for him. The first year my husband and I were married, he endured a near fatal accident when I was pregnant. It didn't help that I too suffered from an...

Today I Left Money At The Pump

By Chris on May 24, 2013 / 1,958 views

Before I left to get gas today, I wrote a little note on a post-it and stuck it to a $10 bill I had in my wallet. I folded it up and placed it inside the gas pump for the next random customer to find. I didn't stick around to watch, I just left with a smile on my face. If you are reading this, your mission is to keep it going! Leave a note and whatever you can afford, $1, $5, $10, or even $20!! Make sure to...

So my mom and I have been working the same waitress job for 5-6 years now. She had been waitressing years before, but this is recently. Anyway, about… 15 minutes ago this guy she waited on left and told her to take care. Just that. Prior to this she had talked to him about Italy. Her people are from Florence, this and that, and she said she's never been. She's got 8 years of art education and she's working a...

Do What You Can

By Joseph J. Mazzella on May 20, 2013 / 8,835 views

I was in a rush to get my power bill payment in the mail today. I pulled my car into the post office parking lot, hopped out, and started quickly walking towards the entrance. Then I saw something green on the sidewalk. I looked down and saw a hummingbird laying on the concrete with her wings spread out. She was breathing slowly in and out but not moving otherwise. I squatted down to take a closer look. She appeared...

Never Judge Anyone..... Because U Never Know How Their Life Is & What They're Going Through"

By KOKOB G. on May 14, 2013 / 4,979 views

A doctor entered the hospital in hurry after being called in for an urgent surgery. He answered the call asap, changed his clothes & went directly to the surgery block. He found the boy's father pacing in the hall waiting for the doctor. On seeing him, the dad yelled: "Why did you take all this time to come? Don't you know that my son's life is in danger? Don't you have any sense of responsibility?" The doctor...

Tears

By Joseph J. Mazzella on May 13, 2013 / 7,659 views

It had been a rough week. A steady stream of bad news had battered my spirits and stressed my soul. Everything seemed to be going wrong at once. My fearful, worried mind wouldn't rest and my tired feet kept pacing through my house carrying my body along with them. "If only I could clear my head", I thought to myself. "If only I could calm my heart" I had turned the radio on earlier but its music had failed to...

Hello From Heaven

By Joseph J. Mazzella on May 08, 2013 / 7,818 views

I saw my first butterfly of the Spring today. I was carrying some groceries into my house when suddenly the little lady flew right down in front of my face. She stayed there for a long time gently floating on the invisible breeze. She was so beautiful that my eyes filled with tears and my heart beat with love. Then she departed to dine on some delicious dandelions growing in the meadow behind my house. After she...

A Wet Face And A Warm Heart

By Joseph J. Mazzella on April 29, 2013 / 7,884 views

I woke up with a wet face again this morning. Five minutes before my alarm clock was set to go off my little dog, Snoopy jumped on my bed and licked my face until my eyes popped open. I was startled by the slurpy wake up call but didn't have the heart to scold her. Even though my face was wet, my heart was warm with the knowledge that I was loved. There is no better feeling than being loved. Snoopy's morning...
