Lights and Marshmallows
Maria could see how the night sky was riddled with stars safe and warm through the living room window. She was at her grandparents’ house, which was thankfully near her family’s place, so they visited a lot. Especially during Christmas time when many of her cousins and their families would also come to visit. Her grandparents not only had a huge front yard and backyard but their property was secluded by trees so she and her cousins were able to run around without fear of being disturbed by nosy neighbors. Maria was having a great time this Christmas, even though as usual, there wasn’t a speck of snow on the ground despite the season.

Gimmie Shelter
I never thought that a piece devoted to “the warmth, comfort, and the joy found during winter’s coldest moments” would involve the bus services of my hometown, but this is where I found such peace of mind and all the combined elements above during what was surely the coldest and darkest time I had on a return trip home.

Paws & Claws - Unforgettable Experience
Today was just not my day. Straight back from campus, my brother and I were roped in as emergency catsitters - not because we are good or anything, but because there was no other option. With a quick change and lunch, we got to our duty on time - punctuality at its greatest.

Emotional Intelligence: The Key to Your Child’s Success and Happiness
One day, my little friend Emir came to me. His eyes were filled with tears, and his lips trembled. “Super Bulldog, why do I sometimes feel so bad, but I can’t tell anyone about it?” he asked. He couldn’t hide the sadness inside him; it was clear that he had been carrying this burden on his shoulders for a long time. Seeing the helplessness in his eyes deeply touched my heart. At that moment, I realized once again how heavy it can be for a child not to express their emotions. Together, we sat down, worked to understand his feelings, and gave him the courage to express them. That day, as the dark clouds in his eyes faded away, I witnessed how emotional intelligence can make an incredible difference in a child’s life.

No Place Like Home (Full Version)
Raindrops broke the surface tension in the pool, piercing the water in tight circles and dissolving into nothingness. So began our Christmas Day this year – a dreary sunless sky composed of silence. No sounds of laughter, holiday greetings, or excited dogs. Just a disquiet peace. I made coffee and started to make breakfast hoping the smells of biscuits and bacon would rouse the rest of the sleeping family.
