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

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

Remembering those we lost/Grief group 1 week, 6 days agoDear Daddy
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 -

LaurenDear Grandpa,
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.
Growing up, you were very a…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.

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-
Aww, this is so sweet. I am sure Hollie feels so loved and appreciated by you. You are such a sweet and kind soul. I am grateful you are part of our community. <3 Lauren

Drew ZuhoskyI am a busy guy. There’s no denying that. In fact, my work week sees me writing practically every single day. I’m not one to complain. I love what I get to do every day.

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

Kelsey HartsellDear whomever;
I became a teacher to shift the paradigm and break the chains of toxic tradition. My childhood education experience paralleled that of Matilda.

There is a famous quote that says “the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.” When you are trying to do something different, or better, or if someone feels their power is threatened there are people who will hold you back and hurt you in effort to stop you Naysayers are almost a sign that you’re doing something right. The world needs…read more

Thank you Lauren, it’s good to know I’m not the only one. You’re right the quote is the perfect image for what I need to think about. I’ve got some meditating and energy work to do. I’m not sure what’s for me at this point, I need to clear out the fog so I can think.
Thank you <3

My mother used to tell me where there is a will, there is a way. If you want to help and educate children, there is a way for you to do that that is safe and joyful, and non-toxic. Don’t give up. <3 Lauren

I love the idea of saying one thing I’m grateful for in the morning. I’ll start incorporating that into my morning. Sometimes through tragedy we find ourselves. We tend to be blindsided by our comforts and the second we allow ourselves to be uncomfortable we find ourselves. Our true self. Thank you for sharing.

I’ve never thought about doing something like this. So maybe I should start doing so. I’ve never thought about things I’m grateful for period. It just slips my mind as I live day to day as a lifeless drone. Thank you for this idea and hopefully it could bring back some sort of humanity in me.

You are in humanity, you would not be on the unsealed and you wouldn’t have replied to my letter. You are a human, it is your birthright to breathe, take up space and love yourself no matter what.

Alicia Sophia MarieDear whoever needs a reminder,
At this point in time, you’ve probably heard the term “Gratitude Practice” in pop culture. It centers on looking at the things in your life through a lens of appreciation. It requires an ability to shift your focus and play up the parts of life that we often overlook. Gratitude practice for me has been a long…read more

I’ve never heard of gratitude practice. I’m glad I’m hearing about it now. Changing your perspective on things and shifting your thoughts from stress to gratitude can’t be extremely beneficial. Just like the saying “stop and smell the roses” there’s also “look at the bright side.” Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for sharing Alicia. This is such an important thing to practice and I needed this reminder. It’s sooo important to practice this during the good times too! When you don’t “need” it. Then it becomes habit and when you’re feeling down you have this tool that is so easily tangible. This reminder to practice gratitude was something that I truly…read more

As Friday unfurls its grandeur upon us, let us take a moment to ponder our personal evolution. Have we shed the skin of our former selves to embody a better version of us? Or are we stuck in the mire of the familiar, resisting the clarion call to change and swimming in the stagnation of the past?
Let us shine a light on our path…read more

Great words to ponder. We must shine a light on all that we do going forward. Embrace the good things you do, and learn form the wrong or mistaken things you go through.
