" Are you not also a part of this universe? Do you not also have hopes, dreams, and fears just as every other living person does every minute of their lives? Then when the world is in bad shape, it has EVERYTHING to do with you, just as it has EVERYTHING to do with every other person out there. It is up to you, as well as every other person, to do something about it, because if you won't, and others think the same way as you, who will??"
--- Copyright © 2003 Jessica Bachand


" Treat others the way you want to be treated and you'll gain the respect and will reflect the energy you bestow to others. What you experience in life is but what we throw into our universe. Mirror yourself... you'll see the very you...Now you know the answers and what to do with the life you created. You don't blame anyone, even the Guy UP there... You are answerable to yourself. Create a meaningful life worthy of living."

    As the holiday of Thanksgiving approaches, I wish each of you a happy holiday and ask you to think about the meaning of the word Thanksgiving. So often we get caught up in the pageantry that surrounds this holiday, and forget just who we are thankful for.

    In life, you will meet many people along the way. Each person who touches our life brings a gift. Some will touch you more than others, but each person comes into your life for a reason. Many times we don't exactly know why. This person could be a teacher, a parent, a spouse, a sibling, a friend or a stranger. Maybe this person listens when we need to talk or cry. Maybe they help us financially when we are broke. Maybe they talk to us, when we need a different perspective. Maybe they hold us when we don't deserve it. Maybe they sit with us when our grief is too much to bear alone. Maybe they are just there, so we know we are not alone.

    How have we acknowledged this help? Have we taken their gifts of love, compassion, and hope out into the world and offered it to others? We all need to give something back to this world that will help others along their paths. I think we all need to be more thankful. This year, stop, think, and remember all of the people who have crossed your paths and be thankful for them. Say it out loud, say it in silence, but say it.

“Never expect others to give to you. Give others what they would never expect, yet need the most. Show them that you appreciate them with whatever you are able to give because maybe they need you more than you think they do."
Written in 2013 by Jesse Marie Kavumpurath --- Connecticut

“Life is too short to be negative and judgmental of others. We all have our faults and flaws, things said, things done that we are not proud of. When you think about it, it basically comes right down to learning as you live life and go through experiences! You learn who wants to share your world of inner friends and family and those trials and tribulations you have to be a better person. You learn who is worth being in your life and who truly wants to be and at what capacity. You learn who wants to be a part of your positive energy and the love and understanding you can pay forward to them. Life is tough! Love one another, breathe and live like its your last day everyday!"
