Malak Kalmoni ChehabI watch as she pirouettes,
Her dress, a parachute, flies
In waves to her flutters.Her sensual beauty attracts
An audience, not for her moves,
But for the supplication in her eyes.They shine with an inner peace
That translates into a pace
Shinier than the purest diamond face.My gaze is glued to her flexible
Limbs that have divined that…read more -

Hannah G.Dear Christina,
In Carrie Underwood’s song “Some Hearts” she says “some hearts just get lucky sometimes.” I know that’s true. I am so thankful that you had the courage to ask me if you could room with me and Erin. That “yes” brought me a best friend. I’ll spend a lifetime thanking God for making me lucky enough to meet you, to get to know yo…read more

Poetry group 5 days, 1 hour agoA Welcome, To The Month of June
Oswald PerezDear Unsealers,
As I’ve done on the first day of each month for the last three years, I write a poem to welcome in the new month. It’s crazy to think that five months have already passed, and so much has happened since 2023 began. A new temporary job after eight years in my previous one, co-hosting an open mic for poets with disabilities and…read more

Indeed, June marks the halfway point of the year, and it’s a time for transition and anticipation. As spring comes to a close, the days grow longer, the weather becomes warmer, and the allure of summer beckons. With its clear blue skies and extended twilight, June offers a canvas of possibilities. It’s a month when many people embrace outdoor…read more

Health, Wellness and Chronic Conditions group 1 week, 5 days agoGrowing up with migraine
Crystal MulliganI grew up with migraine, it was like another member of the family. Always there, sometimes quiet, sometimes not but, always pretty need.
I spent my childhood in waiting rooms; chiropractors, neurologists, nutritionists all for my 4 year old brother who was getting daily attacks. As a child there were times this was fun. I would get to miss…read more

Living with chronic migraines can be a long-term journey, and it’s important to remember that you’re not alone. There are support groups, online communities, and resources available where you can connect with others who have similar experiences. Sharing your story and connecting with fellow “migraine warriors” can provide a sense of understanding,…read more

Ravien BurnsIn life where moments intertwine
There’s a thread called trust
In God’s timing divine
For in his design, he holds a plan
With his loving hands, he unfolds the perfect momentWhen doubts drives your heart, patience wanes
But remember that he hears your prayers and that they are not in vain
With days uncertain, paths remain unclear

Each note carefully composed, every instrument in its place
The highs and lows, the crescendos and decrescendos
In God’s perfect timing, the melody unfolds
When impatience tugs at your soul’s core
Remember that God’s timing is always more
Than what our limited minds can comprehend
He weaves together every beginning and end

Hi,

ShelleyDear Daddy,
My earliest memory of you was getting a goodbye kiss in the morning before you would go off to work. I would have my head on the pillow and you leaned down, gave me a kiss on the cheek and say I will see you tonight. I was the oldest of 3 girls so I had some special alone time with you. For example, when I was about 8 years old…read more -

It’s been nearly 25 years since I last saw you, and what I remember most about you is how you made me feel. Whether at dinner on the holidays, playing cards, or sitting in your living room telling stories, you lived with a joy and zest for life that was so effortless, natural, and contagious.

I used to feel like Twitter was a playground for adult bullies. It was exhausting. I like spaces where I can express myself in full and let out all of my thoughts. Thank you for sharing <3 Lauren

Definitely. It was a great niche space I was in and I loved the people (no bullies thankfully) but I noticed I was spending my inspiration writing tweets instead of writing projects like books or short stories or full poems. It was like having the quick satisfaction of putting out a short thought was overtaking actually doing the work of something…read more

Chasing Your Dreams group 2 weeks, 2 days agoLeaving your 9-5 with Your Inner Child
Elena HernandezHear me out. What does your inner child have to do with leaving your adult 9-5? Well for me, I don’t resonate with my job and never have resonated with working for someone else who clearly doesn’t value you as a person. Working in healthcare has made me realize that many of these companies capitalize on our empathy. I have learned my soul lig…read more
-
I so agree with you Elena. As adults we tend to be so cautious, and scared to take changes. But as children we tend to dream big, and just go for it. I so think you should channel your inner child and follow your heart. Create or build whatever brings you joy, and then tell other people all about it so you can inspire them to do the same. You got…read more

I totally agree with you. I have been going through a spiritual journey myself and plan on starting a spiritual healing business of my own. Recently my inner child reminded me when I was younger adults use to always say you can do anything you want or set your mind to, I truly believe that now; as an adult. Keep pursuing your dreams, you got this !
-
Yes! I tell my daughter all the time and I wish I would have had a little more encouragement to be my own boss and not stay in survival mode! Yessss keep pushing for that spiritual business, I know it’s possible once you recognize you’re worthy of that success.

This is so very beautifully written. I feel that there isn’t enough appreciation for mothers and all that they do. All the sacrifices they make for their child/children and the difficulties of being a mother in general. Well done!!

Your Honorary Son, Drew Zuhosky.Hollie,
I know I’ve said this one before, but it is Mother’s Day weekend. So, I figured I’ll say it again.
Sunday marks Mother’s Day. Without mothers, none of us would even be here. Most of us only have one mom. If we’re lucky, we come across women who become a person’s second mom.
You’re my second mom. We’ve rooted each other on and prayed for…read more-

Power Wash Simulator is one of the best video games out there. It has the right mix of fun factor and challenge, which is crucial toward a video game’s success on the market. The producers had no idea that the game would be a hit.

I, too, need to unwind sometimes. For me, its exercise or TV. Sometimes I binge-watch one show. Right now, I am watching old-school Sex and the City episodes.

Hopefully, these are the uncensored versions of the episodes. Sex and the City, much like some of the other shows initially airing on premium cable, have had to be scissored when entering broadcast syndication. Tales From the Crypt had a plan to make the edits less noticeable: Certain scenes in the syndicated cuts of Tales From the Crypt were…read more
