Love for mankind
Imagine yourself walking on a lonely street in broad daylight; it sure would give you the creeps!
But the same street if inhabited by a few other humans, even though you don't know them; you are quite comfortable and continue to tread upon your journey!
Man is a social animal, and even though we are not acquainted with those million faces, we are just comfortable around their company.
As a kid

Wordless Wednesday #60
I always get a feeling of appreciativeness when I see hands joined.
It not only symbolizes hope, and forgiveness, but also the gratitude towards each breath we take and continue to conduct our duties in this lifetime.
Mantra for today: Embrace being grateful since it is the root of happiness!

A Dream!
Laura was stirring the soup while humming her favorite song, Choices by George Jones.
"I've had choices since the day that I was born
There were voices that told me right from wrong
If I had listened, no I wouldn't be here today
Living and dying with the choices I've made."
Just then she got a call, and that made her jump, twirl and weep all at the same time.
Hung up, wiped her tears,

The Future of Abracadabra!
Over a decade ago, I started my blog with a touch of MAGIC
Just a poof and an Abracadabra and voila all the grief would disappear and wishes that one aspired for...would come true!
Thus, began my journey of blogging with Abra-caba-dra where I used to blow out mantras on this blog, and make myself and who ever people were reading it; be able to shape their destiny by their actions. The prime

Gall, Gratitude, and Guilt
Katie bangs the alarm.
Each night she promises herself not to go back to that kind of life, but morning strikes, and the gratitude of being rescued when she was in the dungeon always springs up when she wants to revolt thus faithfully follows the 9am to 9pm orders without any debate.
She drags herself to the routine while relying on her destiny.
Knocks twice on her door, prior to entering,

Belief in God
Morals are defined as the rules of right conduct.
Does a man follow the set of rules because he believes in God since he worships him or does he believe in God because he has morals in his life?
Morality and Philosophy
All living beings have a soul. This is a living thing that is within the body. This Soul is our guide, our knowledge to help us distinguish between right and wrong. This

Halloween and its spooky reasons..
When the month of October dawns upon us, my kid rushes to a Halloween store to purchase an outfit more so since I am not that hands-on to create what he wants to be.
So, an investment of ~$30 every alternate year is not bad especially with that priceless smile. He loves his costume so much that fortunately he would not mind wearing the same costume for the next Halloween too. As a parent,
