Dear Hurting Heart By Joy Oforka
Dear Hurting Heart,
I write to your heart - bruised, scarred or broken - knowing that it is its heavy weight that has so heavily clouded your eyes. I know I have no perfect knowledge of how you feel; your pain is peculiar to you. I only hope that I find the right words to soothe you where my hugs can't. I'm sorry life happened to you the way it did. I'm sorry you are going through so much pain. I'm sorry I really can't do more than say how sorry I am.
I'm sorry if my sorry causes you to cry even more. I'm sorry I'm still talking though you wouldn't mind if I shut up.

Feeling Messed Up Is Part Of The Amazing Self Discovery Journey
That is why it is called self discovery—You get to try things. Some go well. Some don't.
We are born babies. Nobody came into this world all grown up. We came with nothing. We spent our childhood learning, mimicking and observing the people around us and the society we found ourselves in. In my late childhood, I had already developed some skills and habits that helped me blend into my society—the idea is that the adults in the community around us help us to reach this point of adaptation. All we knew at that point was what we were taught, what we saw people around

Don't Mark Down Your Price Tag!
A meaningful life is not about being rich, highly educated or being perfect. It's about being real, humble, sticking to your core values and touching the lives of others. I always try to remind myself that there is more to life than money, one thing we shouldn't lose for pleasure is integrity. Yes we might enjoy the fame, money and captivating audience for a while but we will definitely

The Secret Every Woman Should Know About Herself
"Of course, men like it when they see us in those beautiful outfits looking sexy and hot, they like it when you have your make up on and you look perfect but these things won't get them to bow to your feet. They will only bow to a woman who loves and cherish herself. "
Every woman wants to be young, happy and graceful but the secret to being all that is not in Botox and plenty make up. The secret to being young, happy and graceful is in you. The secret is treating your own person well and making your 'self' content. Everyone talks about self love but only few people truly practice self love.

Dwight L. Moody
What Time and Presence Means To Both Gender.
The research of 2000 men found that men switch off after an average of six minutes when chatting with a partner, but stay tuned for 15 minutes when talking football or sex lives with mates. I tell you, this isn't good news but I have always known that men are bad listeners even before that research was conducted lol.
Men like facts, woman like to give details.
When a woman keeps talking and the man keeps giving really short answers for a reply, after a short silence, you will hear her say 'where are you? I am talking to you about something really important

When the owner of these two pooches asks a direct question in regards to who may or may not have left an unsolicited present in the kitchen, the reaction really cracked me up. Without hesitation, Judy outs his sister Sunny (evidence that sibling rivalry does exist even outside the human world..lol).
Perhaps this was something Judy had been accused of in the past and wanted to make it crystal clear that she was not the culprit this time around. Watching Sunny get adorably thrown under the bus had me cracking up. Watch and enjoy

SHUT UP AND BE GRATEFUL
Gratitude means thankfulness, counting your blessings, noticing simple pleasures, and acknowledging everything that you receive. It means learning to live your life as if everything were a miracle, and being aware on a continuous basis of how much you've been given. Gratitude shifts your focus from what your life lacks to the abundance that is already present.
For decades, research has tied gratefulness and appreciation to happiness. People who are happier tend to be more grateful and appreciative for what they have.But they've also found

Nothing ( I mean absolutely nothing) is for free, not even your happiness. Just like everything in the life, there is a cost attached to happiness.

This Thing Called Conscience
My Laptop is having some issues and I just finished my exams last week. I am trying to explain why I have been missing in action. Gosh I have been trying to get a place to do my internship and it seems like no one, nobody wants me...I must say, that that feeling is really depressing. I have never checked my mail box as often as I have done for the past two weeks. It's like a job hunting...I wonder what the real job hunting is like. Every "we regret to inform you" letter I have received just makes me feel tired and sad. OK I am done ranting about internship and all. I am alive, hence there is hope. Back to the topic... This thing called conscience. Have you ever done something and something just pricks you on the inside... Like an alarm goes on screaming 'that was wrong!' I have had that feeling, as a matter of fact everyone has had that feeling countless number of times.
One thing I have noticed is that as we become older we get too familiar with this alarm that awakens us and it loses it effect on us.
Conscience is a divinely implanted faculty in man, telling him what he ought to do right. Yet in a way conscience is enough, I think it just get less effective as we go through life. It becomes dead and too silent that we hardly here it speak.
The things we choose as we mature affects our conscience; our beliefs, our religion and our moral identity and the society. These things I have mentioned affects greatly the actions of a person. Countless times I have decided to do something bad but my conscience won't let me because my religion forbids it or my personal beliefs forbids it, I know it is wrong hence I could just desist from carrying out that action and feel at peace or ignore my conscience, carry out the action and suffer the guilt for a while.
Conscience is that something that speaks inside us, something that tries to stop us from doing what is wrong or might cause us harm, something that gets louder or more silent as we grow. It is this thing called conscience. It could be silent but one thing I know is that when it is alive it always tells the TRUTH.

Bobbi Kristina Is Reportedly Awake and Off Life Support
Find how US Weekly is reporting it below .
Bobbi Kristina Brown is "awake" and has come off her life support machine, according to her dad Bobby Brown and his sister Tina Brown.
Bobbi Kristina, 22, has been in a medically induced coma for the past two and a half months, since she was discovered unresponsive in a bath tub on Jan. 31.
But now it seems like things are looking up for the daughter of Bobby Brown and the late Whitney Houston, after her dad and aunt sent out messages to fans over the weekend, saying that her condition is starting to improve.
Bobby Brown, 46, gave the first hint that his daughter was making steps towards recovery on Saturday, April 18, when he made an announcement to shocked fans at the Verizon Theatre in Grand Prairie, Dallas, while on stage at a Frankie Beverly concert.
"I can say today Bobbi is awake. She's watching me," the "Every Little Step" singer told his audience in a speech that was posted to Instagram later that night.
And confirming her brother's happy announcement, Tina Brown took to Facebook on Sunday, April 19, to expand on the positive message.
"So many messages,sorry can't answer them all right now but I will get to them later.." Tina wrote. "Just allow me this time with my family,,yes,she woke up and is no longer on life support!!!!!:):)God is good!!thanks for your prayers,,still a process,but she is going to be ok:):):):)."
Bobby Brown is yet to release an official statement regarding the latest on his daughter's condition. His last comment back in February asked fans to continue to pray for Bobbi Kristina's recovery.
Let us continue to pray for her. This is real good news.

Why My Husband Will Always Come Before My Kids
By Amber Doty
Eight and a half months into our marriage, while we were still getting comfortable in our roles as husband and wife, we suddenly became mom and dad. I won't say that our son was poorly planned -- we were both anxious to start our family -- but I will say that in hindsight becoming a mother in the same year that you become a wife is not for the weak.
The first year of our son's life was the most difficult of our marriage to date and it is also the year I learned a very important lesson: My husband must always come before our children.
Don't get me wrong; I love my kids and would do anything for them. But I love my husband more.

Love is never enough. Here's what is enough....
In 1967, John Lennon wrote a song called, “All You Need is Love.” He also beat both of his wives, abandoned one of his children and once had a camera crew film him lying naked in his bed for an entire day. This man obviously lacked a clear and realistic understanding of love really is.
Many of us idealize love to be the solution to all our problems. We think the moment we find love, our problems vanish. Hollywood’s romantic movies and stories celebrates love as life’s ultimate goal, the final solution for all of our pain and struggle. When we overestimate love, our relationships pay the deadly price.

A Woman's Satirical Take on the Challenges of Using Public Loos Goes Viral in Argentina.
For women the process of using a public toilet can be a lengthy affair. But why? People are talking (and laughing) about it in Argentina, after a woman revealed what exactly goes on behind cubicle doors in a funny Facebook post that has been shared more than 110,000 times.
It all starts, says Luciana Ochoa, with a voice in the back of your head - your mother telling you "never, ever sit on a public toilet." Depending on the state of the facilities, women basically have two options: to wipe the seat and then proceed to cover it with paper, or to use a frankly unpractical posture that Ochoa calls "the ninja position" - a sort of hovering squat which ensures no part of your

Her parents reared her with excellent values and compassion for others. They share in her dreams that came true. It's tragic that today she is she is no more but her dream lives on.

Today, I can choose joy, happiness, negativity, pain, sadness or sorrow....Today I will face challenges, I will meet obstacles but I won't let them break me.

This Little Girl's Rant About Kim Kardashian Will Make You Laugh Forever
This video got me rolling on the floor. Apparently, this little princess did not have a pleasant reaction when her dad told her who his celebrity crush is. Kim Kardashian? Hell no! she basically told her dad and the whole world that Kim Kardashian should be made illegal.
"I don't agree with my father because if I were a man I would not pick Kim Kardashian to be my celebrity crush," she says. "You wanna know why? I'll tell you why. The only reason she's famous is because of her plastic surgery." She said .
And that's just the beginning!
I'm pretty sure this little angel is either going to be an award-winning author or a kick-ass lawyer. I would not want to go up against her in a court room because this girl will adorably shut me down.
I purely agree with her. One need not be famous for showing up their personal body parts n exposing nudity to the world. It is giving wrong messages to the young generations.

1 Who has believed our message?
To whom has the Lord revealed his powerful arm?
2 My servant grew up in the Lord’s presence like a tender green shoot,
like a root in dry ground.
There was nothing beautiful or majestic about his appearance,
nothing to attract us to him.
3 He was despised and rejected—
a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief.
We turned our backs on him and looked the other way.
He was despised, and we did not care.
4 Yet it was our weaknesses he carried;
it was our sorrows[a] that weighed him down.
And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God,
