There is a wonderful, old story about the great Leonardo Da Vinci that I love. When Leonardo was painting the Last Supper it took him several years to complete it. He had decided to use live models for Christ and each of the twelve Apostles. He chose the model for Jesus first when he found a man whose face radiated both beauty and unconditional love. As the years went on Leonardo completed each of the Apostles...

It is normal for children to want assurance that they are loved. Having all the warmth of the Berlin Wall, I have always admired women who can reach out to pat their children and not have them flinch. Feeling more comfortable on paper, I wrote the following for each of my children. Dear First Born: I've always loved you best because you were our first miracle. You were the genesis of a marriage and the...
Always Believed There Was Someone Special For Me

I am a romantic, if you will and a songwriter. Must have been born with a song in my heart because I've always been creating songs. I became quite talented on the guitar, as well. However the one area of weakness was in singing on a professional level. My songs have always been received well by people in the industry. The one area of improvement, finding a singer. From a major radio station in Minneapolis to...

In 2010, I would dare to say that I was the luckiest girl alive! I am a Malaysian, and was pursuing my degree in architecture in the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in the States. Just about to turn 21, everything was working out perfectly for me - I was one of the top students in the university with a near perfect CGPA, I had an amazing group of friends and we travelled to different states every chance we could, I...

The catalyst for my personal Project Of Love began when I was a young displaced, teenager. At the age of 16, homeless and hungry, I learned help and resources were hard to come by. I learned to survive and be self-sustaining. I taught myself business, read books and developed a talent for generating revenue. I also made a promise to myself that when the time came, if I was ever able, I would do my best to help...

God definitely has a sense of humor. As a writer I know this because He always gives me the deepest, most profound, and touching insights when I am far away from anything that I can write them down on. I think He must smile while I strive to keep them straight in my aging brain until I can put them on paper. Perhaps this is the way He makes sure that they settle into my soul as well. This happened to me again...

Dusty Old Heater I have a heart to help me remember. I remember the dust that I keep. It sounds so abnormal. Captured in the ownership and collectiveness of this dust, it is a reality and a metaphor. It is nothing and everything that may or may have not been. It sits and collects. I have found myself back home, a ‘new home’, I must say. I have seen everything today & yesterday from under this roof....

For a much needed break I am currently staying with relatives, and in their living room sits a piano. I think this is my favourite musical instrument. As a child I started lessons but unfortunately decided to stop so that I could concentrate more on my studies. This is one of my biggest regrets. Every year I would procrastinate and say, "I'm going back soon" but never reached. Some years later, my teacher died....

Breaking The Barrier “When an Egg breaks from outside, a life Ends .When an Egg breaks from Inside, a life Begins ” It all started when I was 10 years old. I was on a school trip to Mysore, India. I saw my friends have the time of their life when they jumped into the Cauvery river and started swimming. They called out to me “Hey Raghu .. come on .. jump into the river. It is awesome “.Since I did not...

My Story - Bill Davis I grew up in Harlem, which was an unlikely place to find a private Black tennis club. In 1940 at the age of ten, while walking past the Cosmopolitan Tennis Club at 149th street and Convent Avenue, a voice in the doorway said, "Hey kid, want to run balls for this match?". My answer was an immediate "Yes", for I had always wanted to see what was on the other side of that fence. It so happens...

A lot of people ask gold, of glory, of honor. But for me, only a simple wish. My heart is rapt in joyous ecstasy whenever I see the children playing under the sun, shouting and even screaming.Their voices seem like tiny bells that peal out in a symphony and every time they laugh I can hear the cherubim singing. One time I had a conversation with one little girl age of five.She tells about the things around us. The...

I walked into the living room and turned on the radio early this morning. The old rock song, "Life in the Fast Lane" blared loudly out of the speakers because my son had left the volume turned up too high again. Startled, I jumped back then reached over and turned the radio back off again. "I think I prefer life in the slow lane," I said to myself. I really do prefer life in the slow lane. I decided long ago to...
Imagine What We Could Accomplish
By Siobhan Neilland on April 03, 2014 / 13,922 views
Every word we speak, every action we make impacts those around us—even when we don’t realize it. My full-time job as a consultant for Fortune 100 companies on either coast requires me to travel frequently. A few years ago I was on a layover in JFK International Airport, returning from a trip to Africa. Ridden with mosquito bites, sunburns, and more bags than any sane traveler dare carry; I looked like a hot...

I work in cancer non-profit and though it is an immensely rewarding job it is still that a job. It comes with office camaraderie and drama, so to keep the mood light I Boa'd someone. This only started about a week ago and has been a visible mood booster in the office. We have a coworker who is leaving soon, and feels disconnected from everything, so I took a spare boa I had and left it on her desk with a sticky note...

When Springtime finally comes to the mountains of my home the days feel like a preview of paradise. Spectacular sunshine arrives to bath the woodlands in its golden glow, and there is hour after hour of lovely light. The temperatures rise and wrap everything in their wonderful warmth. Winter coats are tossed aside for t-shirts, and children laugh and play outside. Red, pink, and purple tulips start to appear in...

I’ve been thinking about this for a long time now. Originally, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to share my story but what I am sure of is that I want to help people feel how individually spectacular they are. The thing is, there’s always going to be SOMEONE who discourages you, lets you down, or tells you that you aren’t good enough. Well, I am here to tell you that you aren’t just enough you’re everything...
A Tribute To The Best Man I Know

The best man I know is my father- he is quite simply the best man I have ever met. My dad is a trained cardiologist who refocused his practice on addiction medicine much later in his medical career. He was the first physician trained in how to chemically detox opiate addicts using another narcotic drug in the state of Virginia. His practice flourished but not in a financial capacity- it flourished in the...
