This is a place to add special moments that you’ve experienced or witnessed that will inspire, uplift and empower others. It could be something as small as the guy behind you at a coffee show by your drink out of a random act of kindness or something bigger like getting your dream job against all odds. We want to hear about the magical moments of your life that can remind everyone that miracles are possible.
You can picture the scene. A typical college student, full-time classes, long lectures, terrible cafeteria food, and going to sports games. What might not be so obvious is why I went to college. A lot of things built up over the years, and waking up in a dorm room felt so freeing. I felt like I could finally breathe. Almost six hours away from my…read more
Mmm…. Lovely orange blossoms my favorite. I would like to lie between the orange trees and soak their sweet scent.
To be taken by the wind as I stare at the lovely blue sky and believe clouds could really be animals and other silly things.
Taking in the sun and its rays feeling the heat kiss my face.
I smile and dream lovely dreams of days past…read more
Love this. So sweet. Keep taking in the world and enjoying the little things in life. You so deserve it. And, of course, keep writing about all those wonderful moments.
This note is something that I’ve done for the last two years. As my friend Chari Pere posted about the things that she had done in the last year. The following is this years list.
In the last year…
I’ve moved on from a job of eight years and found a new, albeit temporary job
The trip to Italy happened after a two year delay…read more
Posted on the first anniversary of my Pepere’s passing.
I absolutely adored my Pepere* Hebert. He was a man larger than life and a heart of gold. When I was younger as a joke he would take the Doritos that I would have with my lunch, which would send me into a fit of crying because those were my favorite chips. As I grew older I saw both a…read more
Dear Hannah,
I am sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you for your loss. Your love ones sound so sweet and loving. I am sure they are looking down and are very proud of you. Continue to honor your grandparent’s memory.
I’m so sorry for your loss Hannah. I’m glad that you were able to be so brave and strong while sharing the light that they marked on you in this world. I’m sure your grandparents would be so proud of the woman you are today and to know that you are making big moves and writing such a sweet letter about them. Stay strong and keep up the amazing work!
Sometimes love comes into our lives early and easily. That’s the case with you. I remember meeting you around age four or five, but it could have been even younger. I lived on a cul-de-sac, and all the kids on our street would regularly play kickball in the circle. We’d play for hours, sometimes mixing in tag or hide and seek. Wit…read more
The first time I was taking the subway in New York City on my own I was a little intimidated. It was only the 3rd time in my life I had been to New York. I wasn’t fully comfortable walking the streets let alone taking the subway. Growing up I had seen so many movies where people were mugged or pick pocketed on the sub way. I remembered there w…read more
Wow, the line where you said “quite often people look at what makes others different from them rather than what makes us the same.” I wish the world was better where we all can come into a union by thinking like this. the world would be so much different than it is right now. People today love to put others in categories. Your letter is amazing!
They were traveling by train
the whole family, for Thanksgiving
at seventeen it felt like being thirty

Where does genuine live?

I didn't think I was smart enough to go to Columbia
To The Unsealed Community,
When I graduated high school, I honestly didn’t know what to expect from myself.
After getting waitlisted, I got accepted to Columbia in mid-June of my senior year of high school. At the time, Columbia ranked top five in the nation. And while I was thrilled to be accepted, there was a part of me that was unsure i…read more
November of 2006 was an exciting time in my life. I was 17 at the time and I was going to live in Maryland with my oldest sister. Plus, it would be my first time flying in an airplane, so my excitement was sky-high around the time.
On the day of my flight from San Antonio, Texas to Maryland, a phone call woke me up at 4 in the…read more
Gerald, I totally get where you are coming from. It’s pretty hard to put your trust in a thing that lifts you up higher than you usually expect it to. Especially when you are so used to being on the ground. I get nervous when I’m high on a ride or sometimes past my limits of height. I usually say that I’m not scared of heights in just scared of…read more
Very true, Kayjah. I’m glad you understand where I’m coming from. I get nervous to when I get on rides that are too high for me to handle. That’s why I don’t do very high roller coasters anymore. It’s too much for me. I like your idea of saying you’re not afraid of heights, you’re just scared of falling. I need to try that the next time I fly on a…read more
When I was a baby, I was born into a home where my best friend lived. However hard times made us leave our home and when we moved my best friend ran away. I always yearned for a new best friend but lost hope throughout life.
When I was 30, I found out I was pregnant with my son. It was a world wind of emotions since a few years prior…read more
Awww you must know I love dogs. This is so sweet. Zeus sounds absolutely AMAZING. I am so glad he found you and you found him. What a sweet and beautiful letter to your baby boy. -Lauren
I have a similar story to a lost animal and a newfound. We had a rabbit named Todo but he didn’t last till a month. We were deeply saddened that he passed and it was all because the pet store said that we can feed him guinea pig food. After that my older sister had no intent on buying any animals but my little sister found a person selling a…read more
I am a psychic and this is my letter to those who don't believe in the magic
To those who don’t believe in the magic,
For a long time, I didn’t believe in the magic either.
Instead, I was a Debbie Downer – depressed all the time. I didn’t trust anybody, including myself. I had low self-esteem. From the very beginning to this day, challenges and obstacles have overwhelmed my life.
I had one just last year. While driving through Streetsboro heading for Cleveland. The seatbelt buckle in my Dad’s car had a way of slapping against the door post when you weren’t wearing it. It was driving me crazy with the sound it was making. I felt uneasy about why it bothered me so much that day when it had never bothered me before.…read more
Your words here hit me very hard. I personally know the struggle of being told you have heart failure. While the methods of our recovery differed I am so very glad you have recovered and sharing your story with us here. My brother married a woman who has an autistic son from a previous relationship. I know the challenges that he faces…read more
This topic you wrote was super interesting read for me. I currently work as a registered nurse and recall briefly learning about Reiki as an example of “CAM” (complementary and alternative medicine). I strongly believe in the use of both CAM and Western medications in aiding the health of a patient. People underestimate certain things way too…read more
I found this letter by chance, and I have to say I’m glad I did. In the African-American community we are often taught to stay away from spirituality and magic as it is considered ” demonic”. I never understood why because so many people have found peace through meditation, reiki, crystals, readings, etc. It was nice to see that a Woman of…read more
What an inspiring story . First off so glad that you were able to get your power back and feel enlightened again . It was also beautiful to see you use your gift and save that lady. So glad things have worked out for you
The other day I was updating you The Unsealed and you said to me, “You know it’s really hard to even get to this point. Almost impossible.”
You are very practical person. You’re logical and reasonable – not the type of person to chase dreams that are completely unrealistic or super farfetched. With that said, YOU…read more
