Christopher Columbus: The Man Who Changed the Course of History
Christopher Columbus: The Man Who Changed the Course of History BY:Khan Dear children! Today, let’s talk about a man whose name is forever written in the pages of world history — Christopher Columbus, the explorer who is said to have discovered America. Though many historians debate this claim — saying that Leif Erikson, a Norse explorer, reached North America almost five hundred years before Columbus, and that Muslim travelers may have reached the continent even earlier — it is Columbus whose name remains most closely linked with the “discovery” of the New World. Some also believe that Marco Polo had hinted at lands beyond the ocean long before Columbus’s voyages. Yet, in most accounts of history, the honor of opening the gates to a new world is given to Christopher Columbus.

The Grace of Being Unapologetically Oneself: A Reflection on Diane Keaton’s Enduring Truth
By Lynn Myers Published on Vocal Media — October 2025 When a legend like Diane Keaton passes, the world does not simply lose a performer. It loses a compass. Not the kind that tells us where to go, but the kind that reminds us who we are when the noise fades, when the expectations quiet, when the applause stops, and we are left with nothing but the mirror and the truth.

Shambhala — The Hidden Kingdom. AI-Generated.
Karma had spent his life chasing legends. From the moment he could remember, stories of Shambhala—the hidden kingdom in the Himalayas—had filled his imagination. In his small Tibetan village, elders spoke of it not as a physical place, but as a realm of perfect harmony, invisible to anyone who carried fear, greed, or impatience. Some dismissed it as myth. Others claimed to have glimpsed it, only to vanish into the mountains.

Perseverance
Living in the year 1819 meant only one thing for a large segment of the population—poverty and despair. There were no government subsistence programs, unemployment checks, or homeless shelters. During this time in our history, the country was in the middle of a severe depression and everyone had to fend for themselves. It was certainly not a good time to be a ten-year-old boy abandoned by his parents and living in the streets of Boston. That, however, was the situation young Raymond was in. Added to his problems was that he was born with a club foot.

Plague Doctor’s Journal
