Here’s What Moves the Needle of Happiness
“The quality of life is the quality of your relationships.”–Tony Robbins I must have had a premonition on New Year's Eve 2020 because I refused to set any goals. I wanted to let the forthcoming year expand in front of me like a mapless adventure without a set of demands to adhere to that I'd written on 1st January, constraining me for the 12 months.

IN THE DARK
When my eyes open, I feel in the dark I am still in the water floating on by back. I am just feeling tired even to open my eyes, feeling thirsty. A big wave knocks me down again. I want to scream, but I feel no strength. Several thoughts coming in my mind like will anyone come to save me and before that I thought what happen with my colleges and my friends, are they alive. We were almost 250 people on the ship when hurricane hit. I don’t know from how long I am here in water in this sea. It is too cloudy to judge what time is it. It’s too dark. I am feeling so weak to swim. I don’t think I for more time I will live alive. I am surrounded with so many thoughts. Before boarding on this ship, I got the best news of my life that I am going to be a father. For this I was waiting from 8 years. And now I m here in the middle of the sea and maybe I could never see my baby. Oh god please help me. I love my wife so much and I don’t know weather she knows about this situation or not. I wish I could see them one last time.

I Draw for Peace
My name is Bree, and I suffer from the mental condition schizophrenia. It is a medical condition well known for causing visual hallucinations, making you hear voices, and causing panic attacks. I had been aware of having pre-schizo symptoms in the form of auditory hallucinations, but it came on suddenly, in full force, a few months after my 27th Birthday. This new condition which sat on top of pre-existing depression, ADHD, and chronic paranoia sent my Life into a tailspin. That is until I found my salvation in the form of art.

I Want Your Life!
Sharlene Glaze and Deborah Pinnock were always competitive from Elementary school straight up to high school. Deborah was assisting her mother, a Caregiver to 89-year-old Millicent Rivers, who lives next door when suddenly the back door burst open, and Sharlene flew in. She was waving an opened letter in the air while screaming, “I got in! I got in! The University of Pennsylvania accepted me.”

Cell Phone Camera + Baby Doll = My new inner peace
When I was a little girl I didn't really like to play with dolls too much. I would play with my friends who wanted to play with dolls but was only interested in changing their clothes. I really wanted a real baby, not to keep but to cuddle and hold for a little while. See, I was more of a tom boy and did all the things my father and brother liked to do. I grew up fishing and digging for worms, playing ice hockey in our backyard, going to the drag races in the summer, and climbing trees. So the fact that I have found inner peace and happiness in taking pictures of Reborn baby dolls is still surprising to me.

A Renaissance Man
I remember clearly the last time anyone asked me what I wanted to do with my life where I didn't have an answer. It was 23 years ago in Orlando, Florida and my best friend was describing his life goals. He told me, "I am a Renaissance Man. I know as much as I can about a lot of things. I learn everything anyone is willing to teach me so I can help in as many places as possible." He was a sports minister and he inspired me at that moment. I thought that sounded pretty good. It gave a name to the things that had been driving me for years. It pushed me to pursue the reasons behind my restlessness and pursuit of fulfillment.
