The following article is from the Good News Network Everything happens for a reason. Every small choice can create lasting change—and even save a life.  That’s what David Couture was reminiscing about, recently, when he shared with GNN a miraculous story from more than a decade ago. He moved into a townhouse in Dover, New Hampshire, that had a tiny washing machine, which caused him to venture into what he calls “the most unpleasant of places”—the Laundromat. Because the midd

To be kind is Divine. To be free is a birthright. Our tests will come when we least expect them. While we outsmart the rest of them. This life is a school full of useful tools. Some will stand up before the bell has even rung. Some get detention, while others have fun. Be patient as the cycles of life will bring the rise and fall right to your door. Remember to steady your mind while strengthening your heart. Building the muscles for a strong body is a wise start. Be ready

One of the biggest reasons death scares people, and why they often avoid the topic altogether, is that it challenges our sense of identity, security, and our role in society. We have developed a story around who we are, what we have accomplished, how we have contributed to society, and where we believe we are going in the future. As we grow older, the realization that we may one day no longer be able to rely on these things challenges our sense of who we are and what we can b

To face the darkness is to face the Light, They create a dance between day and night. The dawn shines Light on the reality we face, The night offers rest that brings us the grace. In the dark stillness of the night sky, Silence holds space to process and cry. Confronting the truths that are painful to see, Yet staying open to forgive and be free. The darkness holds the master key, It's the portal into healing the misery. Facing the stories they said were forbidden, Leading to

When the moon rises and the wind blows, The ravens return to the canyons, and the owls search below. Hopefully our elders have taught us right from wrong, Maybe some wrote it while others sang it in a song. Just to have the ability to choose freely is a miracle in and of itself, Taking care of your health is true wealth. The time is now to help the ones who need it most. No matter who you believe in, The Father, The Son or your favorite ghost. Seems like most of known huma

We live in a modern world that has evolved to produce the most efficient, hardworking, prosperous, and abundant individuals on the planet. The more degrees, experience, success, and abundance we accumulate, the better our lives are supposed to become. Work, earn, do, create, manifest, and make it happen! We are taught that we never have enough, and there is a constant fear of failure and poverty. So, what is the greatest form of rebellion in a world driven by work, production

Stillness is a space we have to create, A pause with the power to elevate. The time to sit tall and take long, deep breaths, Without the need to decide what comes next. Lighting a candle or an incense stick, Slowing down, so nothing feels quick. Sinking into a deep, cosmic space, Letting go and receiving some grace. No need to accomplish any tasks, Just ready to take off all the masks. Slowing down to hear every thought, Observing the program we've all been taught. Rebelling

Release the tension and let go of the drama. Be free of shadows while gently moving through any trauma. Cut the ties that bind the head, And expand the vast capacity of the mind instead. Unchain the heavy ego and embrace our collective human-kindness. It can only lead to the righteous. The only barriers to this kindness and freedom we deserve are fear and hate. Wouldn’t we all benefit from opening our heart's gate. Let in the love, let in the Light. Call it what you want to,
