Thoughts and Actions by Emmanuel Brown

We would be living in a world full of silence if children didn’t believe that the sounds coming from their mouths made sense and that they could communicate with others by using these sounds to get their point across. What’s even more amazing is that these same children believed that they could communicate even further by learning to understand the sounds that come from other children and adults. I’m glad we all believed enough in…

Do Good Anyway By Emmanuel Brown

Posted on January 22, 2022January 23, 2022 by Emmanuel Brown

Often, if you do good, people will think you are selfish and have ulterior motives. DO GOOD ANYWAY!!! I’m sure that we can all relate to these types of things in our daily lives, but sometimes other people seem to be our greatest obstacles. We all face situations where we take the proper steps and do everything for the right reasons, but we run into issues with people. Sometimes these are the people who are…

Bucking The System by Emmanuel Brown

Posted on January 15, 2022January 15, 2022 by Emmanuel Brown

Bucking the system and going against the grain is necessary to stand out in a crowd at times, but other times it will put us right back in the crowd we are trying to show our individuality in and stand out of. It’s not the act of being different or taking our own routes that keep us in general population or in a population that is frowned upon, it is when we buck the system…

Threads of Life by Emmanuel Brown

Standing strongly behind our beliefs, what we feel is right and the things we put effort into doing is something that we should feel good about being able to do. The dedication that we put forth when we endure trying times is sometimes so amazing that we have to ask our self, how did we make it through the situation? It is easy to be pulled in so many directions that we feel like we…

Taking Your Time by Emmanuel Brown

Posted on January 4, 2022January 4, 2022 by Emmanuel Brown

We sometimes miss the smallest things in life by moving too fast. We miss the true beauty of things, small details, and important parts of the meaning of things when we move too fast. Slowing down helps us keep track, focus, and relieves the pressure of a “hurry, hurry, hurry lifestyle.” By rushing we miss things like the way our children, loved ones, and peers are growing. By slowing down our life just a little,…

The Choices we make in Life by Starlene Mathis

The less you associate with some people, the more your life will improve. Any time you tolerate mediocrity in others, it increases your mediocrity. An important attribute in successful people is their impatience with negative thinking and negative acting people. As you grow, your associates will change. Some of your friends will not want you to go on. They will want you to stay where they are. Friends that don’t help you climb will want…

Mother’s Day is a celebration honoring the mother of the family, as well as motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. This Mother’s Day will be unlike any that most of us have ever experienced. Some big differences in the way that we will celebrate this Mother’s Day are the ways that we express our love. Many things will play a major role in Mother’s Day celebrations across the world. These are…

True Friends by Emmanuel Brown

Posted on February 11, 2019February 11, 2019 by Emmanuel Brown

We can gain new friends, but we will never lose the ones that have always been true. We will notice that people come and go from our lives and even though we might feel pain when some depart, we must remember that we need to make room in our livesto grow and to meet those that are supposed to share our space. We must also remember that we were never inseparable if we are ever…

2018 was a good year and 2019 seems to be heading further in the same direction. It was a strange year, but I can’t complain about it all!

Sometimes You Have To Know When To Let Go by Angie Marie

Posted on May 14, 2018May 14, 2018 by Angie Brown

May 3, 2018, would have been my 21st wedding anniversary. I was married 18 years before we divorced. I can’t say that it was all horrible because it wasn’t, I can’t say it was a mistake because it wasn’t, I can’t say a lot of things, but I can say I know with certainty I did what a lot of people won’t do. I took back my happiness and peace when I let go. For…
