Only the people closest to them may be able to hear their pain through their silence. Everyone has most likely experienced times when they felt sad due to circumstances such as job loss, financial hardship, illness, death of loved ones, romance breakups, eviction or foreclosure. No matter the circumstanc

Written by Lady T         Dear Lord, I'm devastated and my heart is broken. Why have you taken my loved one away from me? How am I supposed to go on without this person who was my rock, my mentor, my joy and reason for living?" What we forget is that we are children of God and we belong to Him.

Written by Lady T Dear Lord, I've never needed you more than I do right now. I am so lost and confused and things feel so uncertain. I feel like I've entered a new phase and I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do. I know I need to let go of some of my old ways and beliefs and adopt new ones that suit me and my current path.

In any situation with multiple people involved who have one common goal, the chances of succeeding may not be great unless one person stands out and takes the lead; otherwise if everyone independently tries conquering the task on his own, the group, as a whole, would likely devolve into confusion, d

Written by Lady T Most of us want to be loved, noticed and at times the center of everyone's attention; especially people who seek fame in the entertainment industry or in public positions, such as in politics.

Written by Lady T It used to be common for little girls to watch the way their mothers managed their families and households, and the girls would dream of growing up, getting married and having their own families to manage one day. Likewise, it was common for little boys to watch their fathers work and earn livings to provide for their families, and the boys expected to grow up and emulate their dads. Nowadays it seems more common for girls and boys, at a younger age than pre

Written by Lady T The older you get, the more you may find yourself reminiscing about your past. You may stumble across pictures of you taken when you were years and decades younger, or you may hear a song that takes you back to a special place and time. As you've gotten older you may have gained a significant amount of weight, your hair may be greying and getting thinner, and your face may bear wrinkles of the struggles you've been through. You may wish you still looked the

Written by Lady T Stress and anxiety can rob people of their joy and can destroy their lives. Oftentimes the culprit behind stress and anxiety is worry. Worrying is a state of mind, literally, and we all have different tolerances for how much burden we can handle before becoming overwhelmed.
