Life Is Simple

By Joseph J. Mazzella on June 24, 2013 / 5,451 views

My first born son is mentally handicapped, yet in so many ways he is far wiser than I am. He has an intuitive knowledge of what is important in life. When we go out he looks people in the eye, calls them by name, and shares his smile far more easily than I do. He goes through life with a soul full of love, joy, and kindness that he gives to everyone he meets. He makes others feel better. He makes each day shine...

The Most You Can Do

By Joseph J. Mazzella on June 17, 2013 / 14,107 views

The Summer of my eleventh year was a wonderful time of joy and innocence. My days were spent riding my bike, walking in the bright green woods around my home, swimming in the crystal clear river that ran by my house, playing in fields full of wild flowers, and looking up at the clouds. I wished those lazy, peaceful days would last forever. But then it all changed. It happened in the middle of the night when I...

Tolstoy's Bear

By Curt Struna on June 16, 2013 / 9,246 views

The author Leo Tolstoy wrote a short story about a bear hunting trip. In this story, he went with hunters to where they found signs that bears were in the area. They proceeded to stake a piece of meat to the ground under a tree. They then suspended a very large log to a limb on the tree, so that the limb was hanging only one foot over the piece of meat. The hunters then hid nearby and waited. Eventually a bear...

Sparkling Brown Eyes

By Joseph J. Mazzella on June 11, 2013 / 8,269 views

I was in a local grocery store the other day sorting through some bananas, when suddenly I heard, "Daddy!" and simultaneously felt two tiny arms wrap around my right leg. I looked down to see a lovely little girl no more than three years old looking up at me. She wore a flowered dress and had shoulder length black hair. Her smile gleamed with newly grown teeth. The most beautiful thing about her, however, were her...

One day Buddha was walking through a village. An angry and rude man came toward him and began insulting him. "You have no right teaching others!" he shouted. "You are as stupid as everyone else. You are nothing but a fake." Buddha was not upset by these insults. He just smiled. The man insulted him over and over but the only reaction he could get back from the Buddha was a smile and silence. Finally, the rude man...

Four Leaf Clovers

By Curt Struna on June 07, 2013 / 2,118 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 / 7,167 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 / 8,395 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 / 2,996 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 / 5,886 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 / 7,504 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 / 2,419 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...
