Decision-Making: Life is All About What Works for You!
Several years ago, I came across two young guys who were praising women for being successful Mompreneurs. I wholeheartedly believe in giving credit where credit is due. My husband has passed away so I can write about this now. He never liked the idea of me publicizing the fact that he was a stay-at-home dad. When we were much much younger we made a major decision for finances and family: the two big Fs on everyone's life report card. We decided that I would go out to work and he would stay home and work from home AND take care of our children.

The Different Shades of Love. AI-Generated.
The small word “love” symbolizes the deepest emotions of human life. Its definition or form isn’t easy to explain, yet its impact is limitless. Love isn’t just for romantic partners. It can be for parents, siblings, friends, nature, or even the Creator. This multi-dimensional form of love binds humanity with an invisible bond—sometimes emotional, sometimes spiritual, and sometimes deeply friendly.

The Gift
“It's going to be a cold Christmas eve out there. Temperatures will be dipping down into the mid-teens tonight. The Morgan warming center will be opening its doors at six o'clock for those in need of a place to shelter from the cold.”

Sweet Memories
In the core of a clamoring city, in the midst of the transcending high rises and the perpetual murmur of metropolitan life, dwelled a gathering of four uncommon people: Aryan, Areba, Nisha, and Villon. Limited by a rugged obligation of kinship, they shared innumerable giggling filled minutes, genuine discussions, and remarkable undertakings.

A Taste of Home
There is something about the fireplace that pulls you in, the way death pulls you back home. This isn’t a sad story, but a story of mirth and warmth found in moving towards each other.

Peppermint Polar Bear
A polar bear walks through the snow, the red of his hat and scarf is a bright contrast from the white. He ventures over the snow and spots some red the same as his hat. He walks over hoping it means blood for food, but the red was not blood he would like to coat his mouth with, it is a pile of peppermints. The bear picks up one of the treats and pops the blast of flavor into his mouth. He is happy about the new flavor and eats a few more. While he is eating, a walrus walks up with a soda in his hand, a Coca-Cola with a polar bear displayed on the can.

I Love You More
Dear Mommy, From the day you brought me into this world, you have surrounded me with love. You’ve always said that we “don’t pick our families!” (mostly after I’ve gotten into an argument with my brothers) but I’m sure happy that I was picked to be yours! You’ve raised four outstanding boys on your own and still managed to challenge yourself to accomplish anything you’ve put your mind to. You’ve inspired not only myself, but everyone that comes in contact with you to be kind, work hard, & share love.

A Life of Solitude
Dear Kendrick, You took the word gratitude and changed any understanding I used to have of the word. ‘Thank you’ were just words you say to people. Appreciation was just the amount of attention you give. I never realized they were accompanied by emotions as well. All at once you taught me the meaning of these words. The growing emotion behind them made me aware, and grew larger than any words could describe. All meaning lost once more as the words were too small to contain the feeling. And yet, they are the only ones I know to express. Thank you. Maybe I can find new words that better represent the size of its meaning. I love you!

He compared the new x-privacy law which was initiated to ensure that people, especially celebrities, were given the right to privacy in sensitive matters. What could have been a healthy reminder of discretion was soon hijacked by negative reactions, accusations of insensitivity, and other personal attacks as people lost sight of what he was saying.

The Unsung Warriors: How Indian Mothers Sacrifice Everything for Their Children. Content Warning.
"The Unsung Warriors: How Indian Mothers Sacrifice Everything for Their Children." There's a figure as strong and unconditionally generous and completely selfless in every Indian home, such that her sacrifices are invariably overlooked by her children-the Indian mother. She is the silent guardians, nurturers, and pillar of strength who molds the futures of generations but loses a part of herself in the process. But in the minds of society, the sacrifices may never be monolithic but are bedded down within the fabric of everyday life, to which strong emotions carry long-lasting marks.
