Oh we are soul sisters on so many scores, @dswigle. Ha ha! But, I have watched people that can't afford them go into hock to make their child feel loved or part of a bigger crowd. I know, right?! It's

Some of the colorful ones really are fun. I have to admit I have my eyes on that first pink one. It's a slightly subdued pink. Or maybe a flamingo? I'm not sure what to call it. But if I was going to splurge

Thanks for your thoughtful comment, @isabelpena! I know in some circles, one must have the right brand. I guess I don't travel in those circles! So I agree with you that brand doesn't matter. But I suppose

You are absolutely right. I hope my "judging" came off as silly! It was intended as such. We all have different things that make us happy, right?

I agree! There are some amazing colors there!

What a good mermaid story. You have a rich imagination, @rammargarita. I was amazed by the stranded sailor who became a dolphin and how Romina finally became the mermaid she was meant to be.

I would love to read Mariana's book! Trauma is very personal, but those who have experienced it and are struggling to recover from it can benefit a lot from hearing what others have to say, and how they

I love this story, @radenkusumo666. It's so easy to judge people by their appearance, before finding out anything about who they really are.

I enjoyed your story, @smokyice. Clark really did come close to losing everything. But will he walk again? The doctor seemed to suggest that he can heal, but he's still in a wheelchair two years later.

You are on a wild adventure. It looks like a lot of fun in spite of some challenges along the way. I enjoyed reading about your first AirBnB!

True! The color and its name do not match at all.

The projects are looking good, @old-guy-photos. Yes, it's shocking how much home projects cost. Even some mulch for the garden! I have to buy 40 to 50 bags every time I mulch, and it costs me several hundred

Lovely! I so want to go there! I love anything warm and tropical, and would like to visit every such place while I'm on this earth. Hooray for bucket lists! I want to stand on that rock and see forever

I would love to visit that market! The drinks look very refreshing.

Beautiful store, @isabelpena. So many of those games and toys are familiar to me too — some from my own childhood, and some from when my kids were young!

Oh wow, this is a heartbreaker, @raj808. A story of a life interrupted. It was so poignant how Sandra began talking to him in the last scene as if he was something inert, and then she realized he had emerged

Ha ha. Yes, your images capture that for sure!

That's such a clever idea to add a map of your travels to your post. I love it! It looks like you had a beautiful walk, too! While walking, I am practicing mindfulness, gratefulness and appreciation of

Yes, it's really pretty, isn't it? I love the warm orange colors.

Oh you should, @dreemsteem! Absolutely! I have several stories published, and am just finally getting traction. It took me a long time to get into my stride with the whole process, but I currently have
