This story touched my heart, @diikaan. All the thoughts and feelings you had while walking through the city are things that I think everyone feels at some point, especially around the holidays. It is a

This is beautifully written, @yaziris. I enjoyed reading more about your grandmother. A life well lived, with people and love, is all we can hope for in this life. And your grandma seemed to achieve that.

That is just about every child's dream, to fly with Santa. What a great gift — conquering his flying fears.

Wow, Greatheart and his grandpa really have an incredible adventure. They actually found the tigerbirds! And they didn't end up being eaten by them. Whew! What a delightful read.

Beautiful post, @lightpen. I do like that philosophy that what you do comes back to you, and also that generosity is so important in our world. Selfishness comes naturally. We must all train ourselves

Oh how I love this creative nonfiction initiative. But too often I find my heart being broken! Thanks for sharing your story, @deirdyweirdy. How crazy... a second family!

Wow, the fiancé is really a jerk! How could he string her along for so long like that? Her suicide attempt was frightening. I had a relative who died that way. It's very dangerous to drink alcohol while

Astral travel? That's amazing. I have not heard of it. Now I need to investigate. I'm sure my friends will not be too thrilled if I master the art. 😄
