Another seems to be laughing at something. Another is bothered by the hot temperature of the room, and she raises her hand to…

I graduated college in Dec., ’21. And for the past 3.5 years, I worked for a bit, and I volunteered a significant amount of hours in my community. Food pantry support, office support, ESL teaching, graphic design. I had no real purpose or plan during this stretch of time. I was desperately trying to figure things…

“A lot of people are hostile to me and my dreams. I mean, there’s a lot of discrimination, prejudice, and hatred going on. They just can’t get over themselves, I guess. They just don’t like me, even though I didn’t do anything to them. I think it’s discrimination and hatred, at the end of the…

An improvised song Life is an improvised song with no premeditated words, melody, or even rhythm. And yet we find our harmony each day; we talk, laugh, dance, and sing. Rain and thunder is a type of music, and so is the chirping of birds, the purring of cats, and the rustling of leaves. |…
Read Moresome advice concerning backbiting
My counsel/advice to people who heard backbiting Well, if they really had her best interests at heart, would they be saying all this bad stuff about her behind her back? These are her enemies, quite obviously. I’m not saying they’re bad people. They could be wonderful, beautiful people, normally. But they do have flaws, themselves.…
